About Willow Stream Spa at The Fairmont Banff Springs
View Treatments Menu Watch Video
Rising out of the Canadian Rockies at the intersection of three glacial valleys, The Fairmont Banff Springs overlooks the rushing Bow and Spray Rivers. The hotel's inception dates back to the early days of the Canadian Pacific Railway toward the end of the 19th century. Scottish baronial architecture and classical European-influenced decor provide an elegant aesthetic steeped in history. The property's recent history is distinguished by the addition of Willow Stream Spa, a deluxe sanctuary with an emphasis on healing mineral hydrotherapy reminiscent of the hot springs that initially attracted people to this picturesque area of western Canada.
At present, the small mountain town of Banff draws visitors from all over the world for its outdoor activities and wildlife. Surrounded by Banff National Park's abundance of natural scenery and magnificent panoramic views, The Fairmont Banff Springs allows adventurers easy access to some of North America's most celebrated ski slopes. In warmer months, guests take advantage of a 27-hole championship golf course as well as hiking trails for all skill levels.
