The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Spectacular chateau hotel overlooking Lake Louise

This spectacular hotel is one of the Fairmont’s most iconic and sits at the shore of the emerald-coloured Lake Louise. With stunning chateau-styled architecture and breath-taking surroundings, this luxurious hotel is one of Canada’s most impressive and is the ideal place for a beautiful, natural break. Dating from 1911, the hotel maintains an elegant period interior alongside modern amenities such as a heated indoor pool, a luxurious spa and no less than seven eating and drinking options. Set in the UNESCO World Heritage Banff National Park, this hotel provides a secluded location that is still just a few miles from the nearby Lake Louise Ski Resort.

Wonderful

Warrington, United Kingdom

It would be difficult to find a more perfectly located hotel than this. At the head of the glorious Lake Louise the hotel is of a very high standard and most certainly doesn’t disappoint. A lovely gesture by the hotel is to provide guests with complimentary passes for canoeing on the lake, which was a delight.

Don’t bother upgrading your room

We traveled with a tour and had the option to upgrade our room for a fairly sizable up charge. The room was nice but I was disappointed with the view - see photo, we had a lovely view of the dumpsters. So there are spectacular views here but don’t bother upgrading your room at this hotel it’s definitely not worth the cost.
