Start planning your 2024 summer vacation to beautiful Banff!  Located in Canada's Alberta province just west of Calgary, Banff is perpetually voted one of the top three most popular tourists destinations in Canada.  It also happens to be one of the friendliest and most beautiful resort communities on earth. You will be mesmerized by the fresh mountain air and majestic Canadian Rockies that are as monumental as the surrounding lands. 

You and your family will enjoy four nights at the historic Fairmont Banff Springs resort, a world-renowned symbol of Canadian hospitality with its blend of opulence and seclusion designed in the style of a Scottish castle.  Offering stunning vistas, few hotels in the world rival the majestic scenery of the Fairmont Banff Springs.  Since opening its doors in 1888 the hotel has delivered the highest standards in accommodations and service.  Surrounded by the pristine wilderness of Banff National Park, it offers a wide array of dining options, a 27-hole Stanley Thompson championship golf course, shopping and Willow Stream, a European-style spa, where you can rejuvenate tired muscles and soothe troubled spirits.  There is something for everyone at the Fairmont Banff Springs resort.

In spite of Banff's popularity, the area remains wild and unspoiled.  A leisurely walk will take you to the quaint town of Banff which has retained its 19th century charm with chalet-style architecture and a walkable, casual town center.  Banff National Park, boasting 2,564 square miles of spectacular wilderness, is an outdoor enthusiast's dream.  Summertime activities include all levels of hiking, biking, mountain climbing and rafting.  For those whose idea of an exhilarating activity is searching for the perfect souvenir or unique work of art, you will be thrilled to find a variety of in-town shops and galleries to browse.

After a day of exploring Banff, whether it's an outdoor adventure, shopping, or a day of leisure, there is no better place to unwind than the inviting Rundle Lounge, where you can enjoy your favorite cocktail along with Banff's best mountain views.  To satisfy your hunger, you can choose from eight restaurants offering something to please every palate - from the prime cuts of Alberta beef and sustainably sourced seafood of 1888 Chop House to the friendly ambiance and tempting casual fare of Waldhaus Pub and Biergarten.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Banff in the summer of 2024!
