“Winter get away”
A classic hotel with a great Canadian heritage. Spectacular location with fantastic views. This hotel doesn't hide from the cold, it entices its guests out into the great Rocky Mountain outdoors with a wealth of fun activities like horse drawn sleigh rides, skating on the lake, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, ice sculpture displays, etc., etc. Inside, the experience couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. Rooms a little small, but cosy. A great stay all around.
“First Class Hotel”
The Chateau was excellent in every way. Our room was huge and the service was top class. Although the hotel is expensive, it is worth every penny. Would definitely go back there.
“Excellent stay”
We had the most amazing stay at Lake Louise, we chose to enlope here and were treated like royalty, the staff were so helpful, the little extras made it a magical stay, we can not thank everyone there enough.
“Lake Louise”
Extremely historic hotel with comfortable rooms. Meals are a bit pricey but well worth it.
“Expensive hotel.”
An expensive but good hotel. Extra-charge for self-parking and wifi. Kids can get a welcome package.
“A must!”
This rating relates to the Fairmont Gold category of room and service.
“Very good scenic hotel, but don't go on winter”
If you go on winter season, all you will see is the frozen Lake Louise. In that time, enjoy the hotel but you could feel it pricey.
“Awesome hotel”
the service from the moment we drove our car up to the entrance till we left was unbelievable. the help made you feel like you were their best customer at all times. I can't say in words how we were so pleased by the entire operation of this hotel. absolutely the best!!
“Stay at the Chateau -”
Chateau Lake Louise has an excellent reputation that is well-deserved. The accommodations are comfortable and the service superb. Lake Louise is also at a central park of Banff National Park - Lake Moraine is very close, Banff is about a half hour by car and the Columbia Icefield is only a couple hours away. Don't miss the breakfast buffet - a must before going on a hike in Banff National Park!
“Highlight of our honeymoon!”
Beautiful location, beautiful hotel. They really went out of their way to make us feel special on our honeymoon. Recommend spending the extra for a lakeside room. Views absolutely amazing!!
