Willow Stream Spa at The Fairmont Banff Springs

Few hotels in the world can rival the majesty, hospitality and scenery of The Fairmont Banff Springs. Its unique blend of opulence and seclusion has been a symbol of Rocky Mountain magnificence for more than a century. Willow Stream Spa is reminiscent of the original hot springs that beckoned travelers to Banff over 100 years ago, the pulsating waterfalls and the mineral pool in the heart of the spa rejuvenate tired muscles and soothe troubled spirits.

Treatments include: Nahuatl Harmony and Balance Barro Body Wrap, Bougainvillea Aromatherapy Facial and Acapulco Aloe Body Wrap for Sun Damage and Dry Skins. Willow Stream brings to life the unique healing powers of the alpine air, the sacred waters and mountain magic. Drawing energy from the mountains, the quiet sanctuary helps balance the rhythms of your body to reawaken your senses.
