Rising like a Gaelic Balmoral above the trees at the base of Sulphur Mountain and visible from miles away, the Banff Springs is a wonder of early 1920s revivalist architecture and one of Canada's most iconic buildings. Wandering through its grand lobby and elegant lounge, wine bar and restaurant, it's easy to forget that it's also a hotel.
Rooms vary in size and style; some don't feel much different than a standard hotel room, while others have plush modern or old-world decor. Many have incredible views. Service and prices are fit for royalty.
