After years of tension and informality theworld is turning again to the gracious in

life—soft lights, muted violins, the sense of

well-being engendered by formal clothes.

But it still desires the virile life to whichit has become accustomed. In the famous

Canadian Pacific resorts, Banff SpringsHotel and Chateau Lake Louise, both

desires can be attained.

Outdoors in the Canadian Rockies life can

be rugged as you wish. Indoors, gracious

living, with all the refinements of an

intelligent civilization, comes naturally

in settings designed for dignified luxury.

Banff Springs Hotel

Heart of the mountains from which i t was quarried,

Banff Springs Hotel dominates a highland barony. Majestic

and stately in appearance, i t radiates hospitality.

Nobly proportioned, its halls, dining rooms, parlours. library,

and ball-rooms are gracious settings for fashionable gowns

and gleaming shirt-fronts.

Every suite, every bed-room, commands a panorama of

mountain and valley, of golf course and riding trail—each itself

an integral part of the unforgettable scenery.

GalleryReminiscent ot a leisured, luxurious, earlier day,

Mount Stephen Hall is the scene of many a bri l l iant

gathering. Here, after a day of mountain informality

on the trail, in the saddle, or the warmed faintly

sulphured swimming pool, "white-ties", dinner-jacketsand creations of famous couturiers lend colour to the

formal Gothic architecture.

Chamber music and song, bright conversation, life in

its most gracious aspects—these typify this

magnificent room, its cloister walk and grilled gallery.

Every holiday activity, driving, mountain-climbing, riding on

sure-footed mountain ponies, tennis, golf, swimming, sun-bathing,

canoeing, boating, fishing—can be enjoyed during your stay at Banff.

Even at the confluence of the Spray and Bow Rivers, under the very

front windows of the hotel, ardent dry-fly casters sometimes reap

a sporty reward.

T H E A L H A M B R A D I N I N G - R O O M

Many-windowed, high-ceilinged, Spanish in influence and decor, this room is

noted for the cosmopolitan quality of its meals and service. The luxury that

is the keynote of Banff Springs Hotel is well represented in this spacious

room where royal guests have dined.

Even in its carefree moments Banff is a

fashion artist's mecca. On the fairways,

the courts or in the pools are to be seen

the smartest in holiday wear.

Water from the natural springs of

well-named Sulphur Mountain, piped in

at just the right temperature, supplies

both indoor and outdoor pools—bright

sunshine and crisp highland air invite

sunbathing.

Bring your tennis racket. In

the shadow of the hotel fast.

well-kept courts cater to all

types of players. And onlytwo minutes walk from the

courts are the swimming

pools for a freshener after

the game.

In public or private Banff Springs Hotel

is noted for its appointments. The Ball

Room, gracious as a Regency drawing

room, is a rendezvous of fashion—

mostly formal. Suites, tasteful as private

homes, invite intimate entertainment.

As evening draws in the many public

rooms take their places in the social

scheme. There is chamber music and

song, the quiet of library or reading room,

table tennis for the strenuous, or dancing.

"Ace" or "Dub", golf's possibilities are an unknown quantity until you

have played the links at Banff. Designed by Stanley Thompson, the

IS-hole course is a scenic delight—a player's challenge.

The course stretches down the Bow Valley, sheltered by Mount Rundle,

Tunnel Mountain, and overlooked by the "Hoodoos". From the moment

you drive across the purling Spray River u n t i l - 6 7 0 4 yards later—

you hole out at the 18th you make new discoveries. And mile-high golf

sharpens the appetite as well as your skill. Luncheon or tea awaits you

in the clubhouse and, on your way back to dress for dinner, you can

stop in for a plunge in the pool.

spice of evergreens climbing to

the timber-line, set the tempo.

changing moods, broods over

the placid lake. Iceland poppies,

Alpine rock gardens and

imported grasses beckon the

ponies are yours to command.

High-diver, speed-swimmer or leisurely floater—each finds satisfaction

in the ever-flowing glacial water of the glass-screened pool. Warmed

to 75' the crystal clear water tempts all ages to enjoyment.

The pool terrace-chairs invite spectators and sun-bathers to enjoy the

play of light and shadow on the Glacier, Mount Lefroy, the Mitre,

Mount Fairview, the Beehive.

Boating on the lake, strolling around its jade reflections, pony-riding

over the trails that start at the Chateau—all these things spell

summer at Lake Louise.
