No Weight LimitFairmont Banff Springs Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel has earned an A Roch Rank, placing it among the strongest dog friendly hotels we assess, and for a Rockies escape with a dog it is a genuinely thoughtful choice. Most rooms welcome dogs, and they are welcome in the lounge, on the terrace and in the hotel garden, with green spaces close by. Local health regulations keep dogs out of the bar and the restaurant, and they cannot be left alone in the room.
The welcome is generous. A dog bed, proper food and water bowls, free treats and poop bags are all provided. The concierge can arrange dog-walking, dog-sitting and grooming, keeps an emergency vet number to hand, and can guide you to good walking routes. The hotel's dog friendly welcome has earned it a good deal of social media recognition too.
The fee is 50 CAD per night, capped at 100 CAD for a longer stay, with no damage deposit. For an owner heading to Banff with a dog, this is a hotel that has thought the experience through, and the A rank reflects it.
