Fairmont Banff Springs
The Monarch of Canada, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth visited the hotel during their 1939 royal tour of Canada.[12] From 1942 to 1945, the hotel was shut down in an effort to free up labour for the war effort.[12]
Tour schedule is tailored to guests requests.
The hotel went through several renovations during the latter half of the 20th century, including one in 1971, and another in preparation for the 1988 Winter Olympics, the hotel division of Canadian Pacific Railway, was reorganized as Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, adopting the name from an American company it had purchased in 1999. The hotel's name was changed to the Fairmont Banff Springs as a part of this re-branding effort.[15] In 2006, seven Fairmont hotels, including Banff Springs sold to Oxford Properties, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts continues to manage the resort following the sale of the hotel property.
The hotel looks like a Scottish Castle.

Minerals deposited within different rock types can cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height.In certain regions of western North America these rocky structures are called hoodoos.
