Accommodation
In the heart of Banff National Park with views of the Bow River, there’s something of the Scottish baronial chic about this palatial property with its vast stone structures, grand chandeliers and heraldic shields. A landmark in Banff for over 125 years, the hotel offers cosy rooms with sweeping Alberta mountain views; some of the junior suites being located in the turrets and featuring a spiral staircase. For exclusive amenities, private check-in and evening canapés, Fairmont Gold accommodation is a discerning choice. Culinary temptations include prime beef and seafood at the 1888 Chop House, authentic Japanese and classic Italian. There’s an in-house snow school and a shuttle service to the ski areas. Further recreations encompass Canadian 5-pin bowling, spa treatments and an Aquatic & Fitness Centre with indoor and outdoor pools.
