Lovely couple of hours spent in the marvellous Rundle Bar in the Fairmount Banff after a day of sightseeing. Sipped on a perfectly made Hendricks gin & tonic complimented by some snacks looking out towards the fabulous mountain views. Stunning interior decor to this bar.

Scott was fantastic. He gave us a history tour of the hotel as well as an outdoor wilderness walk. He is very knowledgeable. The scenic beauty of this town is unmatched. The hotel is charming. The free tours fill up so reserve them ahead of time.

We stayed at Banff Springs for one night on our way across Canada. It was my brother’s 70th birthday & they surprised him with a birthday cake, chocolates & craft beer! Breakfast on the 5th floor was excellent! The guys loved your bacon! Everyone was so helpful. We only ordered room service because my brother has a brain injury & it was easier for him to eat in our room. My only suggestion would be to have a few more “special” meals on your dine in menu. Otherwise…. Fantastic!!! Read less
