Banff Springs Hotel

Be a few minutes early and meet inside the Main Lobby of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. A sublime food and beverage pairing await at the heart of the hotel at Rundle Bar with its chic Art Deco decor. Next up is Grapes, where you'll sample delicious flatbread perfectly paired. Head to 1888 Chop House for a signature dish in the hotel's signature restaurant. In the Vermillion Room you'll have a chance to learn from a chef and taste another great pairing before heading to your last stop, Stock Food & Drink, for a decadent dessert and locally roasted coffee. Along the way, you’ll engage with the culinary team, enjoy stories of the history, art, and architecture brought to life by our guide. Soak up the luxury of our small group private access (no more than 12). Leave having experienced the royal treatment at the "Castle in the Rockies," the majestic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel - one of the world’s most iconic hotels, a National Historic Site in a world UNESCO setting.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
