Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

An alpine grande dame

What it is

A historic grande dame in the forested heart of Banff National Park.

What it isn't

An intimate wilderness lodge—this is a massive resort.

What we think

On the shores of Lake Louise, in the heart of Banff National Park and in front of Victoria Glacier, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is a stately throwback to yesteryear. One of Canada’s original “railway hotels”—a series of great lodges built in the late 1800s to entice travelers westward—the property honors its pristine setting with extensive conservation practices, earning it global recognition for responsible tourism. There are 539 classically elegant rooms (ask for a corner unit for views of both lake and mountains) and superb dining choices, from fondue at the Walliser Stube to high-style dining at the Fairview, Activities abound: summer means guided hikes, canoeing, horseback riding and more; cold weather brings ice skating, sled rides and ski trails with some of the world's most stunning views. Be sure to borrow the hotel's GoPro camera to capture the action.

You're here because

You want to visit the untrammeled, pristine beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

The Moment

Sitting in a heated ice-fishing hut in the middle of a frozen lake, your rod suddenly jumps—and you pull up a ten-pound river trout! You make a silent toast to the fur trappers of yore as you raise a steaming cup of hot chocolate to your lips.
