To the Castle Born

 
...or so I like to think!


I've been watching too much Downton Abbey, I think, but our welcome to "Canada's Castle in the Rockies", was as grand and gracious as an Crawley could expect.

Styled after a Baronial Scottish castle, The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is majestic in stature, and in capacity, with 768 guestrooms and over 76,600 square feet of function space. 

In winter, alpine enthusiasts have their choice of, and shuttle service to Mount Norquay (just 10 minutes away) Sunshine Village (25 minutes), and Lake Louise (45 minutes). In summer, The Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course offers 27 holes of championship golf. 

It should come to no surprise that an area renowned for its hot springs that there should be an award-winning Spa dedicated to the ancient rituals of "taking the waters", in this case the Fairmont-branded Willow Stream Spa offers the requisite hot and cold mineral baths and thermal pools as well as a wide range of hands-on treatments.
