Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Canada

Overview

Positioned directly on the shores of Lake Louise with the Victoria Glacier as its backdrop, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is one of Canada’s most iconic resorts. Originally built as a mountain retreat by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1890, the hotel offers guests a rare front-row seat to the region’s extraordinary natural beauty, with year-round access to hiking, paddling, ice skating, and skiing.

The 539 rooms and suites are refined and comfortable, with lake or mountain views and a classic alpine aesthetic. Fairmont Gold rooms provide upgraded amenities and access to a private lounge with personalised concierge service. Signature suites offer spacious living areas, fireplaces, and panoramic views across the lake – ideal for honeymoons or special occasions.

While there is no golf course on-site, the hotel partners with the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course, located 45 minutes away, offering guests access to a legendary 27-hole championship layout framed by the Rockies. On property, guests enjoy multiple dining options including the fine-dining Fairview Bar & Restaurant, a full-service spa, and guided adventures with accredited mountain guides. It’s the definitive Lake Louise stay – dramatic, romantic, and world-renowned.
