 Fairmont Hot Springs,
located in the B.C. Rockies, is a popular recreational spot with
young and old alike. Fairmont with the largest odourless hot pools
in Canada is an ideal place to relax and enjoy some of the most
magnificent scenery in British Columbia.
The
first European to settle at Fairmont, was George Geary in 1887.
When Sam Brewer became the owner, this site became a rest spot
for the stage coaches that transported people and express up and
down the Columbia Valley. Later, when W. H. Holland and his family
purchased the place, they developed the property as a ranch and
resort. The property has changed hands. Nevertheless, the development
has continued and today, Fairmont Hot Springs is well known for
its therapeutic waters and spa and the other recreational facilities.
