Banff Springs Hotel
Nestled between thickets of gargantuan pines, this hotel is straight out of a fairytale. With its rabbit-hole setting, it has old-world charm amplified by cosy stone fireplaces and leather sofas. If you want to take a break from the slopes for a day, you'll be entertained with an array of outdoor pools that are heated and lovely even on the snowiest of days, as well as the Willow Stream Spa, complete with Roman-style columns.
The hotel also houses some of the area's best restaurants with world-class views. Sink into a chair in the Rundle Lounge with a boozy salted-caramel hot chocolate and watch the sun's reflection turn Banff's glaciers pink.
