The Best Places to Stay in Banff National Park
"Fairmont Banff Springs is the copper-roofed castle with a million-dollar view that you've been dreaming of visiting. Snow-dusted mountain tops provide a backdrop for this Scottish Baronial fortress, whose interior contains Tyndall stones holding 450-million-year-old fossils. On the property, Banff Springs Golf Course boasts one of the world's highest-ranked holes: Devil’s Cauldron. The 768-room manor and National Historic Site of Canada is a six-time Readers' Choice Award winner and offers personalized experiences to visitors (join the history tour for the lowdown on the property and park). Experiencing the iconic afternoon tea is a must when visiting the Castle in the Rockies. Take a sip and stay awhile as you enjoy fine finger sandwiches and petite pastries, all perfectly positioned on a tiered tea stand. Make your way from a mineral-infused Kur bath and massage at the spa to the mindful Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing); or, take a mixology class at Rundle Bar, then wrap it all up with warm fondue at Waldhaus Restaurant or a cheese board from Grapes."
