Some of the most famous storybook characters and real life heroes came from humble beginnings. While our No. 1 pick certainly had a less than modest start with its 1888 construction as a Scottish Baronial castle, it is still a fairytale destination that will inspire you on your Banff winter getaway.
The Fairmont Banff Springs is not only the point of convergence for Old World elegance and modern day comfort, but also for the Bow and Spray Rivers. Anglers and avid nature lovers will revel in this meeting point that conveniently provides fishing spots and hiking trails near the breathtaking Banff National Park. If slippers suit you more than snowshoes and you still feel the urge to experience the Canadian countryside, The Willow Stream Spa brings the beauty of the outdoors inside. The powerful but peaceful streams and hot springs of the north are harnessed by waterfalls and a mineral pool at Willow Stream.
Your Fairmont Banff Springs accommodations are a testament to distinct and classical sophistication. Gaze out at the mountain peaks from your whirlpool in the Presidential Suite or curl up in front of the stone fireplace with your favorite novel.
