Fairmont Banff Springs Review
Affectionately known as "The Castle in the Rockies," this massive hotel built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888 marked the beginning of Banff's tourism boom. The hotel retains its historic elegance—not to mention magnificent views of the Bow River—but also boasts many modern amenities. Pampering is a form of art at the world-class Willow Stream spa. Restaurants, bars, and lounges of varying formality and cuisine create a small culinary universe. Rates decrease substantially off-season. If you join the free Fairmont's President's Club prior to your visit, then during your stay you can enjoy complimentary access to the Internet and health club, a free shoe shine, and discounts at the spa. Riding stables are on the grounds.

The Canadian Rockies had been high on my list for years, and I could hardly believe my good luck when I was invited to present a workshop there in conjunction with the Canmore Folk Festival. Read more

This is about travel to Canmore and Banff, but the primary purpose of the trip was skiing, so apologies to those not interested in the ski specific comments below:
