The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Banff's flagship hotel, is a classic old-world 5-star marvel. The Fairmont Banff Springs offers historic elegance and is equaled in beauty only by the magnificent surroundings of the Rocky Mountains.

Nestled into the side of Sulphur Mountain, just above the townsite, sits the beautiful, contemporary 5-star wonder - The Rimrock Resort Hotel. The Rimrock Hotel defines modern elegance & uncompromised luxury. Guests to Banff looking for a glimpse of the local wildlife will not be disappointed.

BANFF NATIONAL PARK BIOS
The history of the area is as diverse as the place itself. In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that unassuming beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and one of the world's premier destination spots.
