"Set within Banff National Park, this grand, castle-like hotel combines historic baronial architecture—stone walls, turrets and winding staircases—with modern resort amenities, spacious public lobbies and innumerable quiet nooks. Period-detail rooms sit alongside larger family-friendly accommodations in a separate wing; the property offers extensive dining across multiple outlets (guests receive a food guide at check-in), winter and summer activities including skiing and a 27-hole championship golf course, and a large Willow Stream Spa with indoor/outdoor whirlpools, a European-style mineral pool and numerous treatment rooms." - Nikki Bayley, Aislyn Greene
