Banff Splurge!

A weekend splurge in Banff includes accommodations at the fairy-tale setting of The Farimont Banff Springs Hotel. Haven't you always wanted to stay in a castle? But the real luxury is exploring the beauty of the Canadian Rockies including glacier lakes and hot springs. Don't forget to save time for chocolate fondue at Grizzly House.

What's a splurge without a luxurious natural setting? A visit to Banff Springs puts you within reach of glacier lakes, icefields and awe-inspiring mountain hikes. When you're done, slip back to Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel for a little pamperping.

Banff Upper Hot Springs
Banff Upper Hot Springs aren't particularly luxurious. But, I've included them in your Banff Splurge weekend because they're outside. Just picture it, snow on the fir trees, steam rising while you steep in the hot springs. Quite an outdoor splurge. More

Grizzly House
Yes, it's touristy but the Grizzly House serves fondue. Decadent, chocolate luxurious fondue worth that's worth the diet splurge.
