About the Resort
On the shore of turquoise Lake Louise
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands on the shore of its turquoise glacial lake beneath the Victoria Glacier, deep in Banff National Park — a grand Canadian Pacific railway château built in 1890. The postcard view is only the start: red canoes on the lake in summer, skating and dogsledding across the frozen water in winter, and a year-round base for skiing, hiking and the Rockies. Eight restaurants and lounges include the Walliser Stube's floor-to-ceiling wine library.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Other Canada hotels you might consider
Canada
The Rimrock Resort Hotel, Banff
The Rimrock Resort Hotel rises on Sulphur Mountain just south of Banff, its floor-to-ceiling windows filled with Rockies and valley views — elk sightings come with the room. The hotel is AAA Four Diamond; its fine-dining room Eden is AAA Five Diamond, cited as Western Canada's only Five Diamond restaurant. The Banff Upper Hot Springs sit across the way and the Gondola is near, with an indoor pool, full spa and three ski resorts within reach.
Canada
Four Seasons Resort Whistler
The Four Seasons Resort Whistler is the quiet, intimate alternative in Whistler's Upper Village — a short walk from the Whistler Blackcomb lifts, with a ski valet and concierge to smooth the way. Every room has a fireplace, a balcony and a deep soaker tub; the heated outdoor pool steams against the snow; and Sidecut serves as the signature steakhouse. Private multi-bedroom Residences suit families and groups, on the mountain that hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Canada
Fairmont Le Château Frontenac
Fairmont Le Château Frontenac crowns Cap Diamant within the walls of UNESCO Old Québec — a grand Canadian Pacific railway château from 1893 and one of the most-photographed hotels in the world. Its 610 rooms carry château-style heritage over city, river and turret views; Champlain serves new-Québec cuisine, the 1608 bar pours wine and cheese, and afternoon tea unfolds at Place Dufferin over the St. Lawrence. The cobbled old city begins at the door.
