Family Luxury, Reimagined at Fairmont Banff Springs
BANFF, AB – September 24, 2025 – Nestled deep within the heart of Banff National Park, where glacier-fed rivers meander through alpine valleys and snow-dusted peaks rise against the sky, Fairmont Banff Springs is setting a new standard for luxury family travel. With its newly renovated Gatehouse and a growing collection of immersive family experiences, the resort redefines what it means to travel well—together.
Long celebrated as Canada’s “Castle in the Rockies,” the resort has evolved into a world-class family retreat. At the centre of this transformation is the reimagined Gatehouse, now home to Gatehouse Family Rooms (1 King + 2 Twin Bunk Beds), Gatehouse Family Suites (1 King + 4 Twin Bunk Beds), and Gatehouse Two-Bedroom Suites (1 King + 2 Queen Beds). These expansive, thoughtfully designed accommodations offer families both space and connection, with cozy sitting areas, multiple bedrooms, and plenty of room to unwind.
The Gatehouse also serves as a hub for family-friendly programming, including hands-on arts and crafts, curated activities, and a space for parents to connect while little ones explore. Nearby, Ramsay Bar and Castello Italiana offer sophisticated settings for après-ski cocktails or hearty Italian feasts.
Beyond the Gatehouse, the resort delivers a full itinerary of memorable moments:
- Evening wildlife tours and starlit firepits offer the chance to reconnect with nature.
- The hotel’s indoor-outdoor heated pools provide year-round family fun with stunning mountain views.
- Afternoon Tea, an Ice Cream Parlour, and a collection of restaurants ensure that guests of all ages dine well, whether craving something classic or indulgent.
- Babysitting services and childminding programs allow parents to savour quiet dinners or retreat to the spa with peace of mind.
For those seeking true serenity, the 40,000 square-foot Fairmont Spa invites grown-ups to slip away for a few restorative hours. Featuring mineral pools, saunas, treatment rooms, and a full-service gym, the spa is a temple of stillness in a resort that’s otherwise joyfully buzzing.
At Fairmont Banff Springs, children are honoured as important guests and families are welcomed not just with amenities, but with intention. Whether crafting in the castle, laughing around a fire, or simply soaking in mountain air, this is a place where lifelong memories are made—and revisited.
