The restaurant was less than expected. The meals were brought to your table without proper dishes and flatware. Service would often bring a bowl of soup and forget things like a soup spoon. The whole idea of a bread bar where patrons have to toast their own toast is ridiculous For a hotel that costs as much as that hotel to stay in. Toast should be made in the kitchen and should be available to patrons when they order toast. Also, drinks would come filled with ice so that the actual drink was very small. This is completely unacceptable. Service in the restaurant was also subpar with many servers appearing to be upset when the patrons required a change to their order or asked for proper cutlery. This happened more than on one occasion. During our stay of three nights, the insufficiencies of the restaurant were a reoccurring Thing. Also serve real butter rather than margarine. Again, when patrons pay $1000 per night to stay at such a hotel, all of these things including small things are expected. The restaurant was a complete failure.

The staff at the front desk were over and above helpful. Lovely room and great pool.

I will start with the positives: The historic exterior of the property is charming, the flowers are gorgeous, and the view of Banff Springs is outstanding. The staff is also very friendly. The areas for opportunity: The cost is not worth the value. We paid $1,200 USD for one night and it was maybe worth half that. When we checked in at 5pm, we paid extra for an upgrade, and our room was not ready for ~3+ hours. The hotel did offer us a food and beverage credit, which we used at the chophouse. One of our meals was good, the other was terrible. The manager was very understanding and kind, but a disappointing experience. The rooms are VERY small and worn. Huge gauges in the walls, scuffs, incredibly small bathroom. While there are some positives, I would not recommend to stay here. There are other hotels that may not have the view and prestige, but the cost at the Fairmont is definitely not worth it.

An iconic hotel at an iconic site. Beautiful in every way. Just be prepared to pay!

The hot tubs were amazing with a view. One didn't have the jet while we were there between August 15-18, 2025. They also had a restuarant that served Asian food that looked convienient. We did not go while we were there so I cannot say how it was. We also has a double bedroom condoish room. Views all around.

Lovely, clean, quiet property. Parking is competitive. The stairs to the second level are dangerous. Shower needs a safety handrail.
