Expensive getaway

considering the cost of the room, the room was extremely small, difficult to move around the room. Very clean and neat, fantastic location in Banff National Park. $20 for parking was unacceptable, again considering the expenditure for the room. Staff was excellent

"The View

The Banff Fairmont hotel is awesome for location and beauty. We paid extra for a room with a "View" and have to say that the room, by today's standards, was extremely small as was the bathroom and the "View" could only be appreciated if you stepped into a small alcove and pressed your nose against the window for the view of the golf couse and the lake and mountains in the background. The extra cost was not worth the price.

Incredible hotel!

We spent time in Jasper and Banff National Parks, and stayed at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel on our last night. It is a remarkable hotel and it is well worth staying there. Some of the great aspects of the hotel include: a heated outdoor pool with views of the mountains, beautiful grounds (including a golf course), and an intriguing design. The hotel has a lot of interesting history, and just walking around the hotel and grounds is enjoyable. We stayed across from the main building, but we had a large room with comfortable beds and it didn't detract from our stay at all. I would definitely go back to this hotel, and absolutely would recommend this to a friend.

You can walk into town from the hotel. It is about 20 minutes away by foot. There are some excellent hiking trails near the hotel.

Fantastic Getaway

Spent one night in a tastefully renovated Fairmont Room . Very well appointed though a bit small.But that is expected ; it is and old structure. Had a difficult time to get a supper reservation. I would suggest reserving dining times as soon as you make room reservation. Great breakfast buffet in main dining room. I would recommend the Fairmont to a friend.
