Fairmont Banff Springs is easily the most iconic stay in Banff. Known as the "Castle in the Rockies," this luxurious resort is nestled at the foot of Sulphur Mountain, just 15 min walk from the downtown Banff.

The resort is renowned for its world-class service, exceptional dining options, and extensive spa and of course - access to the gorgeous nature of Banff NP. This is a once in a lifetime bucket list stay which comes with a price tag, but there are shoulder season deals to keep an eye on (like in November or April, you'd be surprised what price you can get!).
