— Lake Louise, Canada —

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

An Insider's Take
'This castle-like retreat sits on the shores of one of the world's most photographed lakes, where turquoise waters mirror snow-capped peaks in Canada's first national park.' What's Special? Built in 1911, this grand château is the only lakefront hotel on Lake Louise, offering direct access to the pristine glacial waters. The hotel's Victorian elegance contrasts beautifully with the rugged Canadian Rockies, and it serves as the starting point for some of the world's most spectacular hiking trails, including the Plain of Six Glaciers and Lake Agnes Tea House.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Fairmont Gold room on the lake side for unobstructed sunrise views over the Victoria Glacier. The early morning light creates an ethereal glow that transforms the lake's famous turquoise color into liquid gold.
Don't Miss Canoeing on Lake Louise at dawn when the water is mirror-still, ice skating on the frozen lake in winter, and dining at the Walliser Stube for authentic Swiss-German cuisine. The hotel's proximity to Moraine Lake (just 30 minutes away) makes it perfect for exploring the "Valley of the Ten Peaks" featured on the old Canadian $20 bill.
