Tucked away within Banff National Park, within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the largest hotels in the Canadian Rockies. Surrounded by snow-frosted Rocky Mountain peaks, secluded next to a legendary lake, showcased by a majestic glacier. This grand resort offers its guests a front-row seat to some of the country’s most spectacular scenery. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is an all-season, recreational paradise that has been attracting guests from around the world since 1890. The hotel has 550 guest rooms including a wide array of luxury suites.

The vast lobby and public spaces recall an opulent and outsize hunting lodge, hung with ornate chandeliers and furnished with sturdy and elegant armchairs and sofas. Guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, decorated in a lavish alpine-colonial style, packed with modern luxuries. Terraces and lawns reach to the famous aquamarine lake, backed up by the Victoria Glacier. Inside, off-white walls, polished wood and brass, and burgundy carpeting blend well with the lake view, seen through large, horseshoe-shape windows.

The resort’s proximity to Banff’s natural wonders makes it an ideal home for active travelers. In summer, the wilderness of the National Park offers activities such as hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, mountain biking and rafting. Winter presents a dramatic wonderland of unique recreation including world-class downhill skiing, heli-skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, cross country skiing, ice skating and horse drawn sleigh rides. Your adventure starts right outside the Chateau’s doors.
