"If you prefer staying in the center of the action, you'll want to stay in Banff, which is significantly larger and has more to do than the town of Lake Louise. In Banff, the castle-like Fairmont Banff Springs is a standout. It has a beautiful location, great views, and amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, 12 restaurants, and afternoon tea. Plus, there's a bus from the hotel to Lake Louise Ski Resort that takes about 50 minutes." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

"Iconic and castle-like, this early grand railway hotel felt palatial and well appointed—a decadent place to dine and unwind after big winter days—and a room facing the Bow River put the park’s wild nature front and center." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

"Fairmont Banff Springs is the copper-roofed castle with a million-dollar view that you've been dreaming of. Snow-dusted mountaintops provide a backdrop for this Scottish Baronial fortress, whose interior is made up of Tyndall stones holding 450-million-year-old fossils. The 768-room manor and National Historic Site of Canada is a six-time Readers' Choice Awards winner, and Banff Springs Golf Course, which sits on the property, boasts one of the world's highest-ranked holes: Devil’s Cauldron. After a round of golf, experiencing the hotel's iconic afternoon tea is a must—take a sip and stay a while as you enjoy fine finger sandwiches and petite pastries, all perfectly positioned on a tiered tea stand. You can cap off your day by making 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." - Alexandra Toto
"A notable Canadian venue included in the actor's list of renowned courses around the world that he might visit as he pursues golf during his travels." - Alexandra Hurtado
"Following installation of camera-based food-waste monitoring, chefs discovered that sauces, soups, and baked goods on buffet tables were being wasted disproportionately and adjusted production accordingly; seasonal data also prompted reductions in fresh-vegetable prep when crudités waste rose." - Jen Rose Smith
