“History, tradition, location and great service”

This hotel that has an immense presence and is beautifully situated by the lake. On entering hotel you can immediately sense the history, the traditions and magnificense of a great hotel. Rooms are small but very well appointed and the views of the lake are spectacular. We also found the food was very good if a little expensive. I would highly recommend a stay here.

“The most beautiful place on earth!!!”

Just be sure to spend the extra couple bucks for the lakeview room. Spectacular!! The ride in from Calgary was not bad at all. No scary cliffside roads. And once you get up to Lake Louise....WOW!!! Hotel service was excellent for us, but we were there during their slow season, so we got alot of attention. Overall, beautiful, luxurious and quiet place. We enjoyed our anniversary very much here!!

“Simply top totch”

This famed resort is simply top notch, from facility to surroundings. It is even better because we came in the low season, with less traffic and less than half the summer rates. The view (especially if you get a lake view room) is nothing short of breathtaking. Getting out and having the lake and glacier all to yourself before the bus loads of tourists come is an advantage worth every penny of the still substantial price. Looking at the first ray of sun painting the tip of glacier pink is just magical. I heard someone "complain" about the almost too perfect scenery: "no one will believe me, this has to be photoshop, it is just too perfect."

Area recommendations
Lake shore walk is magical. Walking up to Agnes Lake and having a birds eye view of the lake and hotel is also highly recommended. There are tons of areas to explore within walking distances, even more within driving distances.
When to go
Summer is a popular season to come but it is expensive and noisy to stay here because of the shear traffic. Hotel maintains a staff of 750 in summer and 400 in winter. That gives you an idea of the difference in traffic. Winter is beautiful but you will enjoy more if you are a skier and comfortable about driving in snowy mountain roads. Otherwise, late September to mid October. The fall color makes this place even more magical, and the low season rate helps, too.
Must see
Don't sleep in. Get up before the first beam of sun light hits the glacier, you must see this. This is a life altering experience.

“Best Service We've Ever Experienced!”

We were absolutely enthralled by the world-class view from our room. The amenities were extensive, and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed our stay immensely, and can't wait to take our (adult) children!

Area recommendations
This is the ONLY place to stay if you are traveling to Lake Louise.

“Very Impressed”

the only complaint I have is the temperature of the rooms. During the day (we had a lakeview room) the room got VERY hot, and took a long time to cool off at night. No Air Conditioning made it sort of uncomfortable. BUT everything else was excellent.

“Expensive, but good location”

The good: - clean rooms - great location, fancy looking hotel - great service - good chocolate croissants in the bakery The bad: - the hot tub and pool were old/dirty, and has a view to a parking deck - inconsistent hot water in the shower - bay windows are only for restaurant customers - no free wifi - no free parking Our friends stayed at the Post Hotel and Spa, they had bigger rooms, free wifi, and complimentary coffee/tea/fruit every day. The post didn't have a great view, but the parking was free, the rooms were clean, and the pool area was much more clean/modern. The fairmont was ok, but given the choice, we'd stay at the Post next visit.

Dining
- The Station restaurant's food was average, but very expensive. - The bakery at the Fairmont Hotel was very good, but expensive - Laggan's bakery in the shopping center was decent, and relatively cheap

“Breathtaking”

The Fairmont does need a face lift. I noticed the loveseats in the lobby are very worn and could use reupolstering. The room itself overall was in good condition. Considering it is an upscale hotel I think it should be maintained a little better. Very busy with all the visitors(which was expected)and dining options limited and very expensive. I noticed many people went to the market to purchase food and ate in their rooms. They provided a small refrigerator and microwave. Doesn't really make sense, perhaps they should make their eateries more affordable.

Area recommendations
Lake Louise is undiscribable, you have to see it to believe it. Banff is amazing. We were fortunate to see some of the wildlife.
