PB hotel design editorial

Rising from a forested promontory above the confluence of the Bow and Spray Rivers, the turreted silhouette of the Fairmont Banff Springs has dominated this corner of the Canadian Rockies since 1888, when the Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned Bruce Price to design a château-style landmark that would justify the rail journey west. The original timber structure burned and was rebuilt in concrete and Rundle stone — the same warm-toned sedimentary rock quarried locally — between 1911 and 1928 under architect Walter Painter, who added the signature centre tower and pushed the building to its current scale of 764 rooms across nine floors. The exterior photograph confirms what drawings alone cannot quite convey: the sheer mass of the building against the mountain face, its steep copper-capped turrets and dormered roofline holding their own against terrain that dwarfs most human construction. Inside, recent renovations have steered the guest rooms toward a confident mountain-contemporary register — deep navy upholstered headboards, dark-stained walnut millwork, abstract landscape photography, and patterned area rugs in slate and indigo that reference glacial topography without resorting to antler kitsch. The Tudor-beamed dining room, with its crest-embossed chairs and stone hearth, preserves more of the original baronial atmosphere, a deliberate counterpoint to the refreshed guest floors. The outdoor pool terrace, framed by rough-cut stone arcades and backed by Cascade Mountain, captures the hotel's central achievement: grand historical architecture made genuinely liveable across every season.

Fairmont Banff Springs Reviews

"The Fairmont Banff Springs is in a beautiful location overlooking Bow Falls, stunning golf course and a valley with mountainous surrounds and is walking distance to the town centre, however, there is also a public bus route from outside the hotel to town that is complimentary when showing your room key. You immediately get an amazing first impression when approaching the hotel which is built in the form of a historic Scottish castle. Check in was easy and smooth, and both the doormen and check in staff were helpful, cheerful and friendly. The room that we had (577) was part of Fairmont Gold and was of a good size, clean, warm and welcoming but in keeping with many of the Fairmont hotels we experienced in Canada the bathroom was very tiny and a little claustrophobic. The staff throughout the hotel were always helpful, and always greeted you with a smile and the service throughout was to a very high standard. The gym was well laid out and well stocked with modern equipment and there was a really nice inside pool and hot area attached to the spa. One of the highlights of the hotel for us was the amazing Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course which blew us away. The driving range, the golf course and the amenities within the golf course were first class. We would definitely recommend the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel either in the summer for biking, trailing and playing golf of course, as well as in the winter when Banff becomes a snow/ski resort."

"Back for a second stay (last time was 2022) and to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Our room was incredibly comfortable and the sleep quality was amazing. All staff were just as good as before. We enjoyed drinks and snacks on the Rundle patio, dinner in The Vermillion Room (thanks so much to Natalie, our Australian server) and then breakfast. It’s an easy walk down to Bow Falls and an easy walk to get into town. Of course, being a Fairmont you get exceptional service and for a premium price, but it was worth every penny/cent!"

"A beautiful hotel with very comfortable rooms. We walked from town one day it wasn't too far. The bar restaurant was very nice and the Stock coffee shop was excellent. The secret garden was lovely. We could have stayed longer. We also explored the nearby falls. Only complaint was the signature bath products which were very heavily scented We've been to three Fairmonts this trip and they all have the rose scent. There is a convenience store on premise across from the motorcoach entrance."

"The hotel staff attended to our every need. We booked a King room, however the room had a very small and almost unusable bathroom. The Duty Manager listened to our concerns and immediately moved us to a more suitable room which we were very happy with. We would have no hesitation returning to this hotel."
