Historic
In 1887 William Cornelius Van Horne wanted to build an impressive hotel in the Canadian Rockies. The hotel was undergoing continuous renovations until the fire of 1926 where its wooden foundations were burnt down. A few years later, the hotel was rebuilt into a bigger castle and with a much more resilient structure. During the Great Depression, the hotel closed for 3 years and was reopened but struggled to reclaim travellers due to its location and the economic crisis. By the '70s, the hotel regained its glory thanks to the increasing influx of travellers in Banff. Today it is known as the prestigious "Castle in the Rockies".
