That’s according to the readers of TravelAwaits.com, who ranked it on the top of a list of nine.

The Banff Springs hotel is the only Canadian location to make the chart.

“Guests can book treatments and enjoy the cold, warm, and hot pools.”

Located in the heart of Banff National Park, the world famous Banff Springs hotel stands as a landmark in the picturesque alpine town of Banff. Canada's "Castle in the Rockies," has been providing hospitality for more than 130 years, according to Fairmont's website.
