Hotel Description
William Van Horne, General Manager of Canadian Pacific Railways, is credited with recognizing the tourist potential of the hot springs nearby the station of Banff. His vision was fueled near the philosophy "If we can't export the scenery, we will import the tourists" and thus began the campaign to design a lavishness hotel amidst the striking mountain scenery of the Canadian Rockies. To travel there, the visitors would naturally arrive via the Canadian Pacific Railway, and Van Horne proposed the establishment of a series of lavishness hotels along the railway line through the Rocky and Selkirk Mountains. In 1886, Van Horne commissioned Bruce Price of New York, one of the foremost architects of the day, to draw up plans for a hotel to be built above the confluence of the Bow and the Spray Rivers looking over the striking Bow Valley. Construction started in the spring of 1887 and the hotel officially opened on June 1, 1888. The Fairmont Banff Springs was finished in 1928 and over the years has been lovingly maintained and restored to retain its original grandeur. The furniture for the hotel was made near Castle & Son Manufacturing of Montreal, and the pieces are exact replicas of original designs from European castles and manor houses. The Fairmont Banff Springs has been open year round since 1969, and since that time, all the rooms have been remodelled, as have the swimming swimming pool and health facilities. In the spring of 1989, a new golf clubhouse and nine additional holes were added to the Banff Springs Golf Course, rolling out 27 holes of magnificent mountain golf. With the need for expansion, a $23 million state-of-the-art conference center opened in January 1991, increasing the total meeting space to 76,000 sq ft. In August 1995, the hotel opened Solace - The Spa, its fabulous European-style spa. The Fairmont Banff Springs continues to follow Van Horne's dictum of dynamic expansion and excellence. providing something for vacationers and business visitors alike, it as well endures as a meeting place for the world's fashionable and wealthy. On March 22, 1992, The Fairmont Banff Springs was declared a historical site near the Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
