AMENITIES & SERVICES
|
|
What to expect: Just a block from bustling Banff Avenue, the lodge has long been a favorite with overseas package group tourists, conventioneers, and independent travelers. Expansive conference facilities and break-out rooms are ideal for corporate meetings, family reunions, weddings, or other special occasions. It's an excellent base for a wide variety of Rocky Mountain adventures like skiing, walking/hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The welcoming front lobby features a three-story fireplace. Amenity highlights: The spa tub, indoor saltwater pool, and eucalyptus steam room beckon after outdoor adventures. The Terrace dining room and lounge and Chinook restaurant offer fine and casual dining, respectively. Insider tip: For skiers and snowboarders using the shuttle bus service that operates between Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise ski areas, the lodge is the last stop leaving Banff in the morning, and the first stop on the way into town. This convenient location cuts about 30 minutes of travel time each way, enabling guests to sleep in longer in the morning and return from skiing earlier in the afternoon.

RECREATION
|
|
The outdoor recreation options in Banff National Park are almost limitless. Foot excursions range from short, self-guided nature walks to challenging mountaineering routes. Fishing and canoeing can be enjoyed in summer on the nearby Bow River, and horseback riding is popular. The 27-hole golf course at the Fairmont Banff Springs (visitors welcome, reservations required) is excellent. Fall offers excellent hiking on uncrowded trails in cool, invigorating, and bug-free weather. In winter, skiers and snowboarders enjoy the world-class slopes of Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise ski areas. The lodge offers a lap pool and an extensive fitness facility.
