Our Inspector's Highlights
- Tucked inside the castle-like Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Willow Stream Spa boasts everything from an indoor Hungarian mineral pool to use of a full-service gym.
- The guiding principle behind Willow Stream Spa is discovering your own energy, and its menu of customized massages allows you to do just that.
-
Embrace your surroundings with the Majestic Blue, an invigorating treatment that uses mountain lavender (which is nicknamed “blue magic”). Mineral salt exfoliates your skin, and afterward you’ll enjoy a wrap and massage.
All skin types can partake in the Glacial Reflections Facial. But first, you’ll sip rosehip tea and soak your feet in a pine bath. That’s followed by a rosehip facial massage, a moisturizing mask and a temple and scalp service using glacial globes.
- Within the deluxe couple’s suite, you and your companion can receive the Rockies Healing Retreat for Two, which includes a footbath, mineral body scrub and body mask. Afterward, wash it all off in a Japanese soaker tub and then have a customizable aromatherapy massage.

- If the mountain air leaves you high and dry, the Rockies Rehydration will quench your thirsty skin. After a dry-brush exfoliation, a thick aromatic cream is massaged into your skin and you’ll be wrapped in blankets to let it all soak in.
- Whether you suffer from jet lag or altitude sickness, the Destination Rejuvenation will help. A medium-pressure massage targets the legs, neck, back, shoulders and feet to promote sleepiness, alleviate tension headaches and restore energy.
