Reviews for Fairmont Banff Springs
Historic hotel in a gorgeous location, very helpful concierge
I stayed here for 3 days before a conference/retreat and then three additional days for a work retreat. Obviously this is a historic landmark hotel in absolutely stunning environments and I was sad to have to leave yesterday. The location and the view of the mountains are incredible. The hotel itself has great amenities, though a bit dated and it was unfortunate the outdoor pool was being fixed when the conference was happening. My room was in the conference center which I was initially disappointed by but the room was very large and had a turet with a sitting area and view of the hotel and mountains, which I later learned was MUCH better and huge compared to the equivalent band within the hotel (I heard from my colleagues that the rooms were TINY which is surprising given how much the hotel cost). So I highly recommend staying in room 2509. It's a bit of a bummer to have to walk by Hertz, a copy center, and into the relatively characterless conference center to get to the room rather than the beautiful lobby and historic hotel, but I think worth it once you're in the room. I needed to get some over the counter medications in town and the concierge was incredibly helpful and went out of their way to assist and facilitate in an extremely speedy and responsive manner which I was very impressed by and appreciative of. I can't remember her name but on my first day when I checked in, the trainee at the counter was incredibly gracious and helpful and spent lots of time to address my questions which I appreciated.

A grand hotel that could use some updating
There is much to like about this grand place. The architecture and the setting are magnificent. The staff is friendly and it has the feel of luxury from past generations. We had a wonderful dinner in the Vermilion Room. The grab and go place in The Libby had excellent breakfast sandwiches. On the downside the common spaces seem dark and dated. The menus in the bar were dirty and stained and the service there was terrible. Our room was quite small and the bathroom was about the size of the bathrooms in a cruise ship stateroom. There was no place to hang wet towels The maid service left a dirty dust rag on the floor and left wet towels hanging on the door knobs and over the shower enclosure. All that being said it I am glad that I stayed here

Blown away…
Absolutely blown away with the location, buildings, rooms, staff and all round magic of this place. Without doubt one of the most fantastic hotels we’ve stayed in with a relaxed and relaxing style that really works. There almost aren’t enough words to describe the feeling from check-in to departure. Just absolute perfection.

Stopover when heading to Lake Louise
The scenery is beautiful. We stayed in the Gateway building. The room was perfect for us. When I woke up I could close the bedroom door and sit in the sitting room and drink coffee. The bar had great appetizers (can’t remember the name). It’s a large place with lots of things to see and do.

Not what i was expecting for the price
We stayed on the gold floor, it wasn’t bad but the size of the room for $2500 was ridiculous. Couldn’t even be in the bathroom comfortably as 1 person. We golfed the afternoon and the club house nor beverage carts had any of the drinks we wanted off their menu. It took until a 5th selection at the club house for them to have any in stock. We went to chop 1888 for a date night dinner, our server couldn’t have cared less about us. No wine recommendation pairings unless it was a bottle, not attentive what so ever. He cared more about the staff that were dining behind us than us. The only highlights to warrant the 2* rating was rundle bar as we had a fantastic bartender & the gold floor lounge as the staff in there were friendly, and the snacks were amazing.
