It\u2019s a castle, which is remarkably cool, of course, but it\u2019s all of the activities around the castle that make it such a fun place to spend a few days. Falconry is a highlight\u2014walk around the castle grounds and through the nearby forests with Harris Hawks as they take off and fly back to you. There\u2019s also horseback riding, which all of our kids loved, as well as fishing, golf, kayaking, cycling, archery and clay shooting. Be sure to head out onto the lake, and if it\u2019s raining, play a game of chess in the main hall.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to stay at the Ashford Castle, one of the best hotels in the world, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Cong-Hotels-Ashford-Castle.h76936.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16743\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16743\" class=\"wp-image-16743 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_161122_2351.jpg\" alt=\"Ashford Castle one of the best hotels in the world according to the Gnomads\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by: Eric Stoen of Travel Babbo<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>FAIRMONT BANFF SPRINGS &#8211; ALBERTA, CANADA<\/h2>\n<p>Selected by: Ava Roxanne Stritt of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spatravelgal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spa Travel Gal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most of us grew up loving fairy tales and there are many places in the world that have been the source of their origin\u2026then there\u2019s Banff: a true living fairytale. As soon as I arrived at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, I decided this had to be where Disney Imagineers journey to design their fairytales. My jaw dropped and I was utterly speechless. Enter the lobby and feel like you have arrived at a your own personal fairytale castle with an amazing staff.<\/p>\n<p>All views from each room are outstanding. Your choices include flowing rivers, clouds cascading over mountains, dancing snowflakes to name a few. My fave were the frozen waterfalls and snow-capped mountains. Of course, the Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Banff Springs is also just as marvelous and magical. It was inspired by natural hot springs. Their hydrotherapy circuit is worthy of designing your entire stay around. With multiple indoor waterfalls, a healing mineral pool, outdoor hydrotherapy and world famous spa treatments it is a must-do during your stay.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, a fairytale is what Banff is. When one spots a bald eagle flying past a waterfall, one has to imagine that unicorns are real too!

She was there to anticipate our every need, and she did. She discovered I love Mangosteens, an Asian fruit, and made sure I had fresh ones waiting each day at breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>We had a one-bedroom, 4,630 square foot riverfront pool villa. It was Balinese design, simple yet elegant. There were floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto a tropical garden and a huge private pool. We had an outdoor shower plus an indoor soaking tub.
