Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or seeking a dreamy winter escape, Banff is where love stories are written.

Planning a Romantic Getaway to Banff?

From whimsical sleigh rides to indulgent spa treatments and gourmet dining, Banff’s Castle Romance offers a winter retreat fit for royalty. Here’s how to make your getaway unforgettable:

Stay: the castle in the rockies

Experience the grandeur of Fairmont Banff Springs, where historic charm meets modern luxury. Book the Bed & Breakfast Package for a romantic start to your day, with a decadent breakfast, parking, and gratuities included. Arrive, unpack, and let the magic of the castle unfold around you.

Play: Fairytale Adventures

For a romantic adventure with a dash of thrill, explore the magical Johnston Canyon Icewalk. Journey along suspended walkways as you marvel at frozen waterfalls, glittering in the sunlight like natural chandeliers. This guided winter hike offers breathtaking views and cozy moments to share with your loved one as you navigate the icy canyon together.

Prefer something more whimsical? Book a private sleigh ride with Banff Trail Riders through Banff’s snow-covered meadows. Snuggle under a blanket as you glide through serene landscapes, with a stop at a campfire to sip hot chocolate and enjoy the warmth of the moment.

Dine: castle-worthy culinary delights

With so many dining options available at Fairmont Banff Springs, it’s difficult to recommend one over another, let alone choose one. Nevertheless, starting your day with breakfast in bed is ideal for a romantic getaway. But then what? Why not stop by STOCK for a chai latte or espresso before heading out of the Castle to explore Banff?

In the evening, enjoy an intimate dining experience at 1888 Chop House. Begin by toasting your love with a glass of bubbly from the champagne cart. Then oysters, perhaps? For a main, we recommend the Wagyu Striploin. Lastly, wrap up the evening with a nightcap in the newly renovated Rundle Bar.
