"This postcard-perfect chateau, open since 1888, has long been associated with paranormal activity. One of the most well-known stories is of the 'Ghost Bride,' the spirit of a woman who died during her wedding at the hotel. She is sometimes seen still dressed in her white gown and waltzing alone in the Cascade Ballroom. Another is of Sam the Bellman, a cantankerous old porter at the hotel who threatened to come back and haunt the place after he died. He apparently kept his word, as numerous guests have told of a silent bellhop who brought their bags to their rooms before disappearing without a trace." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Fairmont Banff Springs is the copper-roofed castle with a million-dollar view that you've been dreaming of visiting. Snow-dusted mountain tops provide a backdrop for this Scottish Baronial fortress, whose interior contains Tyndall stones holding 450-million-year-old fossils. On the property, Banff Springs Golf Course boasts one of the world's highest-ranked holes: Devil’s Cauldron. The 768-room manor and National Historic Site of Canada is a six-time Readers' Choice Award winner and offers personalized experiences to visitors (join the history tour for the lowdown on the property and park). Experiencing the iconic afternoon tea is a must when visiting the Castle in the Rockies. Take a sip and stay awhile as you enjoy fine finger sandwiches and petite pastries, all perfectly positioned on a tiered tea stand. Make your way from a mineral-infused Kur bath and massage at the spa to the mindful Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing); or, take a mixology class at Rundle Bar, then wrap it all up with warm fondue at Waldhaus Restaurant or a cheese board from Grapes."
