Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Lake Louise, Canada

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Boutique
The Canadian Rockies, Canada

Lake Louise is renowned worldwide for its spectacular emerald blue colour and considered by many to be the crown jewel of Banff National Park. Nearly as famous as the lake, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is a feature of one of the most photographed scenes in Canada.

This impressive hotel sits on the edge of the lake with breath-taking views of the scenery available from every aspect. Rooms in the hotel offer all the comforts expected with the Fairmont name.

Why we like Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

It cannot be beaten on location! It never fails to impress with breath-taking scenery surrounding the hotel and the exquisite views it offers across the emerald blue Lake Louise. This is a must do on a holiday to the Rockies and be sure to book a lakeside room to avoid disappointment.

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Moraine Lake Lodge £££££

Canada
B&B, Motel and Guesthouse

Nestled in a spectacular valley, Moraine Lake Lodge is the ultimate getaway for those seeking a luxurious escape in the midst of the beautiful Banff National Park.

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge £££££

Canada
Boutique

This cabin-style hotel is 15 minutes from the town of Jasper, on the shores of Lac Beauvert. A village of heritage log cabins connected by pathways ensures the lodge is not imposing in the area.

Skoki Lodge £££££

Canada
Unusual

Located in the high alpine region of Banff National Park in Alberta, Skoki Lodge is a remote retreat that is only accessible by hiking or skiing in from Lake Louise (with no exceptions). Most have to find their own way, but we can provide the guide. So if you are not keen on cross country skiing or a good stomp in summer, this lodge is not for you. However, for hiking enthusiasts and keen skiers, Skoki is a wholesome and rewarding experience.

Emerald Lake Lodge £££££

Canada
B&B, Motel and Guesthouse

Dating back to the times of gold prospectors and explorers, Emerald Lake Lodge oozes history and occupies a magical location on the shores of Emerald Lake. The 24 lakeside timber cabins can accommodate up to 200 guests and each of the simple but comfortably furnished rooms has a fireplace and private balcony.

Park Place Inn £££££

Canada
Boutique

Park Place Inn is a charming boutique hotel just steps away from the bars and restaurants of Jasper National Park Inn, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. The 14 spacious rooms have a homely feel with dark wood floors and traditional features such as clawfoot bathtubs add a heritage feel. Additional facilities include secure underground parking and although there is no restaurant on site, staff are happy to recommend local dining options.
