History
Construction of the Banff Springs

and the hotel opened on June 1,
1888. Disaster struck in 1926 when
the original wooden hotel burnt
down, and was rebuilt larger and in
its present appearance commencing
in 1928.
Throughout the 1920s and
‘30s, the hotel was able to combine
day-to-day hotel life with the concept
of luxurious hotel living. The
hotel managed well in maintaining
its ambiance of sophisticated
respectability. The likes of Helen
