To be honest I did not interact with them too much except for at breakfast buffet and they were friendly. service: front desk staff friendly, restaurant staff friendly, staff in conference area friendly.

Bathrooms big and roomy. Conference room nice and big with big windows to outside. Restaurant fantastic. Great food and nice big windows to see the scenery while you eat! food: great! Buffet breakfast nice big spread and variety. Just the buffet lines were awkward - please find a smoother system for making the buffet lines.

Just wow! From start to finish we were well taken care of and service was amazing. Yes it was more…read moreexpensive but for the price and quality of the food it was worth it. We were told about it through a bar tender and he thought it was the hidden gem of Banff, we agree. To start, the bread was baked fresh right before it was brought to our table and was infused with garlic. It was complimented by a sea salt butter and oil/balsamic spread. It was to die for and probably some of the best bread I've ever tasted, and I LOVE bread. For an appetizer we had the calamari. It was good, but I would only rate it a 3/5, because it was a little bland and it could have used more spices, but it was complimented nicely by the spicy salsa sauce. I had the roselline, which was fresh pasta made in the restaurant rolled with ham and cheese and smothered with a tomato soup like base. It was incredible and I thought a great price for the amount you paid. My boyfriend had the salmon and it was exquisite. It melted in your mouth and the crust that encased the top was perfect. To complete our experience the service was incredible and probably the best we received the entire trip. The restaurant was intimate and had a open concept with windows on the roof to get a outside view. Unfortunately no mountain view though. It was casual but yet classy and we couldn't have been any more impressed with our date.

4 stars for food, 5 stars for service,…read more 5 stars for location Our server was this British guy, who was so helpful in suggesting and helping us order our food. It was a fantastic experience. We sat outside, which is basically covered but the left side faces the mountain and the backyard feels like a forest. It was a good location. The food is quite expensive, even for NYC - let me start with that. It's a Fine Dining place. We ordered the lobster fettuccini, the penne, the salmon and the tiramisu. The lobster fettuccini was about 4/5, I liked the sauce a lot, the pasta was well done - the lobster did not feel that fresh though. The salmon was 5/5. It was very well done, the penne was good but the sauce was okay at best - 3.5/5. They also gave us a palate cleanser (lemon gelato) which was a desert by itself! (so good!) The tiramisu was a let down - it was oddly creamy and had a feeling of cocoa - i'd give it a 2.5/5 Overall, a great experience! If you're looking for Italian fine dining you should go here :)

As golfers, no matter where we are, we are looking to try out a local course. This one was a…read moredestination course. So beautiful. Forward tees were around 4700 yds which is a little short but fit well with my game. You could do red/gold combo for 5000 yds but I stuck with red only. It helped as I didn't have to hit over long grass or other hazards. The course was in great shape. Fairways were green, greens rolled true, some tee boxes were a little rough but over all in great shape. Not a ton of water but lots of sand and some narrow fairways. The course was busy and we were paired with a member which was as great as he had lots of insight as to how to play each hole. Staff was helpful. The round was slow, around 4.5 hours but there were a lot of people on the course. Carts had gps and nice seating. The views were outstanding. So many picture perfect backdrops throughout the course. It was pricey but we loved it.

When you get out there and realize that this course was built 110 years ago, without drones or satellite photos or any technology, you start to appreciate the genius. In this Covid world, they are taking very reasonable precautions and installing no-touch systems that keep us safe, but don't detract at all from the experience. Thanks to the whole team.

I guess I'm not Canadian, and I got used to it, but having a bit more wind protection on the exterior walkways would have been nice - or warmer robes.... Not an issue in summer and not a huge deal in winter but worth knowing. 2) Restaurant isn't great. Mid level chain place. Much better options in town. Staff great loved the spacious rooms and ski lockers.

Our stay at the Kenrick was absolutely excellent. While I don't know much about the history of this…read morebuilding, it seems that the hotel "opened" this year, in 2025. First, the decor and ambiance. Everything is styled to perfection. In fact, the photos we saw online of the rooms and amenities encouraged us to spend a little extra than we usually do on hotels. I'm so glad we did! The lobby, rooms, and Nora pool are all incredibly chic. You can tell the furniture in the lobby is high quality and the small touches in the room go long way. For example, the lights next to the beds have dimmers, they framed the TV set, and the pillows are labeled either Firm or Soft! Again, so small yet all these tiny things add to the overall value of the hotel. Second, the service. When we got to our room, we were greeted by a cute little plate of four decadent chocolates. They also provide buttery soft robes to enjoy during your stay. At one point, we asked the front desk if there's a common area with a microwave. The answer was no, but they brought a microwave to our room! Lastly, they make it very convenient to communicate with the front desk via text rather than having to call on the room phone. Third, the Nora pool. This stands out on its own. It's like its own spa with a cold plunge, two hot tubs, a regular pool, a sauna, and a steam room. It's so relaxing and they also provide a water station with hot, cold, room temperature, and sparkling water. If we come back to Banff, we absolutely would stay here again.

The location is right on Banff Ave but on the end , so we found ourselves driving up the street a ways rather than walking to where most of the shopping , restaurants and taverns. Would have been a 10-15 min walk but after hiking all day... we had less energy end of day. There is a hot pool on the deck of the 5th floor with a fire pit... that was a great way to end the day. There is also a restaurant , Sudden Sally that is very good ( breakfast lunch and dinner)... very good food ! Sudden Sally also has a coffee bar and pastries , breakfast sandwiches. We had coffee and breakfast sandwiches almost ever. *** I could write an entire review of the almond croissant in the Sudden Sally bakery case. That croissant is absolutely amazing.

The RUNDLE Bar & Lounge-…read more My client had just completed delivering a 3-day Signature Program in Calgary, and our event location manager said "let's celebrate by going somewhere really nice." So he drove us into Banff NP. We stopped at Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, Vermillion Lakes, the cascade falls, and then we began driving to the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. What an absolutely beautiful hotel in one of Nature's most breathtaking masterpieces. The beautiful earth-toned cream colored hotel climbs from the lower mountain side and stands beautifully amongst the tall pines surrounding it. We made our way to the Vermillion Bar, where are post worked back in his college days, and were greeted by a super sweet server, Ayala, who lit up whenever she laughed and smiled with you. We enjoyed cocktails, beef, tartare, veggie Credit, charred, avocado, and a unique presentation of hot wings I've never had before - the actual wing that has two bones in it was pre-cut down the middle so you were served the 2 halves as their own individual wing. Great flavors and it was very unique and enjoyable. All of it was delicious and undeniably yummy, and fairly priced for such an elegant location. We were expecting a much higher price point and were delightfully surprised to see that even though it is a luxury location, it was not price gouging or ridiculously inflated that one often finds in so many other locations that are "elegant or nice". If you have the opportunity to treat yourself to a very beautiful sunset under the majestic Mount Rundle, and want to enjoy a modern setting in a historic landmark, this is absolutely a visit you must make while in Banff National Park. Thank you Ayala for treating us so well, and sharing your sweet Australian journey with us. Chris, David, Trisha, and Keith

I did not get to stay here, but I did spend a few minutes walking around this beautiful hotel. The…read moreFairmont Banff Springs (or Banff Springs Hotel) is located inside Banff National Park. I was on my way to the Banff Gondola when I stopped here. The hot springs are also located nearby. The original hotel opened in 1888 and has gone through several major renovations and expansions since then. Even if you are not staying here, you have to check this place out. I mostly walked around the outside of the hotel and in the main lobby. Fairmont Banff Springs has two main accommodation areas - the Gatehouse and the historic Main Building. It has a Châteauesque design to it. I love how the hotel stands out within the surrounding Valley. I could even see it from Sulphur Mountain when I rode the gondola to the top. The Banff Springs Hotel has over seven hundred guest rooms and several event spaces. This hotel is worth seeing in person for its size and stunning architecture if you are in the area.

Suggestions - We stayed in the "Coach House". It would be nice if there was an electric coffee and hot water maker in the rooms. Getting tea and coffee from the main building and taking it across the parking lot to your room is tough, especially in the snow and ice. - They need to put some kind of holders for soap, shampoo and conditioner in the showers. - The channel guide on the TV needs to be edited to remove the channels not available. it takes forever to go through the guide. If you want a quiet, unique experience without the hustle and bustle of a hotel, this is the place for you.

There is a good selection of local teas, coffees, hot chocolate, utensils, etc available to you 24/7. Breakfast is served 8:00-9:30. Due to the limited hours we missed it our first day because we had to head out early to the ice field parkway. We booked the king deluxe, which was located in the carriage house. It had a beautiful extra large soaking tub, radiant heated shower floor, bar sink, mini fridge, sun window, screened patio, and faux fireplace. I had a wonderful spa like soak every evening. Perfect after a cold and rainy day exploring Banff. There are also plenty of books, games, and puzzles available in the main house.

The staff at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us 2 tokens for welcoming drinks at the bar as well as bus passes to use while exploring the town. The lobby was so spacious, plenty of tables and couches to lounge on. We noticed that they also had bike rental and games to enjoy inside the lobby (old arcade video games and foos ball). The back patio area had a small pool and a small jacuzzi along with lounge chairs and 2 fire pits. Upon exploring, we found the coin operated guest laundry room and small fitness room in the basement area. The suite we booked was beyond cute. Felt like they brought a little of the outdoors into our stay. Only downside was that the sink was in the middle of the room but otherwise loved the design. In terms of food they have a small eating area where you can purchase frozen meals and self microwave them. They also have free coffee and tea and a water filling station. There is also a "food truck" that you can order various foods but the menu is limited. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely consider staying here again.
