High Tea at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel

Posted by Sara on Nov 20, 2008 in Travel |

With all the hiking and raw-meat cooking we were doing in Banff, I wanted the chance to be 100% elegant. High tea at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel fit this bill.

This beautiful hotel is styled after a Scottish baronial castle and first opened in 1888. It is nestled in a beautiful valley along the banks of the strikingly blue Bow River.

We sipped tea and downed English pastries and sandwiches.

We gazed out a wall of windows overlooking breathtaking views.

Afterwards, we had a great time exploring the hotel.

That night Kenny was adamant. He wanted a cheeseburger. I wonder why?
