A mix of old world charm and classic updates. Staff exceptionally friendly. We received an upgrade when we arrived. The room was very clean. The bed and pillows were very comfy. We had high tea at Zoe’s in the hotel. Our waiter Garrick was attentive and very friendly, the food was awesome. We would highly recommend the stay.

Towels were great. Staff was excellent. Excellent bar and drinks. Location was excellent. Excellent rooms. Parking (including valet) was not available. We had to park off site with no consideration or fore-warning. This unexpected 10 minute walk each way was awful due to the poor sidewalks and cold weather.

The room was lovely, but we will not stay here again. We waited an hour and a half for the valet to bring us our car and we had a 4 hour drive ahead of us. They delayed are whole day and it was so unnecessary. They were so unorganized. For such a nice hotel, they should have a much more efficient system. Will not be back to this hotel.

The hotel building is stunning . Staff are absolutely wonderful but manager was difficult to deal with. Perfect walkable location. Room amenities were ok not but not as nice as Fairmont Banff. The gold room curtains were not aesthetically pleasing. Standard rooms were on par with Gold. Very slow and ultimately faulty check-in due to broken IT system. I had booked for 5 nights in a standard room through Expedia. During checks in , I asked if a gold room was available for a paid upgrade. I was told a gold room was available for 3 nights only but they had some IT issues after a long wait they said it was available for all 5 nights and asked me to go to Gold desk to check in - which I did. However , on the 3rd day I had many calls when I was in a conference asking why I had not checked out and ultimately that they had sent a staff to pack my belongings and keep them at the concierge which was quite shocking . I had to go back to original room to make sure nothing had been left behind and go through my staff to make sure nothing was lost . I had planned to do some site seeing which I had to cancel due to this matter. I found dealing with David difficult as he kept asking the name and appearance of staff who did the check-in. All other staff were absolutely wonderful. I personally believe the issue arose from their broken IT system rather than staff.

We enjoyed our stay. Staff were all friendly and helpful. I was celebrating my birthday while there and mentioned this to the Concierge in passing. Was pleasantly surprised that complimentary treats were sent up to our room on both days of our stay. The only negative experience was that checkin was a bit slow.
