“Early ski season stay”
Excellent experience. Loved your stay. would not hesitate to come back. We were there mid-December and the snow level was not the best (as expected so early in the year), but the overall experience at Lake Louise blew our minds. If you can, upgrade to the executive level with the breakfast, internet, and concierge.
“Put this on your bucket list!”
Although everything from the room to anything you buy here is on the expensive side, It is probably the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in . The view and atmosphere is untoubhable by anyone else. We are so glad we did and this part of the country is just incredible!!
“Wonderful winter trip to Lake Louise, Canada”
For our winter sports, we always staying at Fairmont, Canada. For this trip we stayed at Fairmont hotel in Lake Louise, Alberta Canada. It is well kept and beautiful hotel. We enjoyed staying at Gold floor and well valued. There was a little accident by the ski bell man, but corrected right a way. The Fairmont at Lake Louise have a Heritage program: snow shoeing, cross country, etc. We enjoyed Snow Shoeing (day & night) and Icefalls of Canyon very much. We enjoyed staying at Fairmont and Lake Louise.
“Lake Louise”
Extremely historic hotel with comfortable rooms. Meals are a bit pricey but well worth it.
“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.
“my favorite hotel”
everything is wonderful i want a go every year
“A fabulous place to spend my b'day”
Chatteau Lake Louise spoilt me on my 50th birthday, not only were we welcomed with a bottle of champagne but also felt very special houghout the say. It has been a favourite place to visit, so to actually stay....was magic! Excellent service, thank you.
“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!!
“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.
