Fairmont’s Canadian mountain resort hotels offering every 2nd night or 2nd room free for the rest of 2020!

We are just over a week away from Fairmont’s four Canadian mountain resorts reopening and they are offering a pretty sweet deal to encourage stays at these iconic hotels! This follows on the heels of the Fairmont Whislter golf offer we brought to you a little over a week ago and I believe this will not be the last offer we see from them this year!  This offer is good for stays at the Fairmont Banff Springs, Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

The deal is that you book one night at any of the four hotels and you’ll get a second night free during the same stay. Or you can choose to book two rooms for one night, pay for one room and the second room will be free and so on! The stay must be pre-paid at time of reservation but it is fully refundable (cancel 7 days in advance). Unlike the Whistler golf offer which is only for June this offer is good for the rest of 2020 as long as you book by June 15.

I did a quick search for a 2 night stay at the Banff Springs Hotel in September to see if this is a good deal:

Stay Close Rate: (Book 1 night get 1 free):

Best Available Rate:

CAA/AAA Rate:

As you can see the offer does provide significant savings as this isn’t one of those offers where they boost the price and discount it. It is based on the best available rate and they simply charge you 50% of that rate per night. It even provides big savings over the CAA/AA rate.  I also checked the Alberta Residents Rate (B.C. has one as well for Whistler) that provides discounts of up to 30% but I couldn’t find any availability which leads me to believe that Fairmont has actually pulled that deal as they probably expect most of their traffic to be from within the province. I must say I am a little surprised that the daily rates are in the $600 range given the current situation in regards to travel and that these hotels haven’t even reopened for business yet.

If you have been contemplating a stay at one of these hotels this offer is your best bet at achieving some savings but you do need to stay two nights or book two rooms. Even if you have some hesitation you could book now as you can cancel up to a week before with a full refund. I am seriously considering booking the Chateau Lake Louise in fall when all the Larch trees start changing colors – the area is typically insane during that time with access and parking hard to come by but by staying at the hotel that problem can be avoided.

These are the black out dates for each property in regards to this offer:
Banff:  December 23-31, 2020
Jasper: September 10-12, 15-17; October 9-10, 22-24; December 24-26, 30-31, 2020
