We stayed here a few weeks ago and skied Lake Louise. The hotel is a classic -- great service, and it hasn't really changed character in years. Have a drink in the lobby bar overlooking Lake Louise, and it's magic. Rooms are a bit small, and the heating system was a little over the top. But a great stay --... More

This is a beautiful location. The hotel itself is mice but the staff is very young and not either very well trained or very customer service savy. Restaurants are ok food wise but crowded with grumpy staff. My wife got sick and there is no medical care in town. You have to travel an hour back to Banff. We booked... More

Before this review I just want to say that we stayed at the château in December 2010, not 2011. The tripadvisor app wouldn't let me say 2010. Now for a little bit of a caveat: I've read some of the negative reviews on tripadvisor and a lot of them complain about how pricey this place is. It is pricey. But... More

We frequent the Chateau Lake Louise for the great service, friendly staff and the incredible surroundings. Far quieter than Banff or Whistler, the hotel feels like home. The staff are very friendly, the hotel always has activities lined up for children, the service is excellent. Any time of year this is the place to escape and relax. Try the lake... More

We had a wonderful two day stay during our first trip from Toronto to Alberta. We went from the Jasper Park Lodge staying two nights along our driving trip down the Columbia Icefields highway to the Chateau Lake Louise and onward to the Banff Springs hotel and onward to Calgary's Paliser hotel. The Chateau Lake Louise was one of our... More

Coincidentally, my boss & I were here on the same weekend. He was here for his wedding, and I can completely see why this was the chosen location. It is STUNNING. The views are absolutely breathtaking. I've been all over the world but I've kept this place at the top of my list. The "backyard" is full of flowers and... More

Hi there! Thanks very much for your kind words. I’m so pleased to hear you got some great hiking in while you were here. What’s great about our trails is they offer such a variety views from the top – depending on which route you take, you can see the lake at all sorts of angles. Your hike up to... More

The Chateau was stunning! The site was incredible. My husband and I stayed at the Fairmont for one night during our honeymoon. The room was perfect. And the lake was a blast. It was very inexpensive to rent skates for a day and just spend time on the lake. The scenery is breathtaking. The staff at the hotel were extremely... More

Amazing and Gorgeous is how I would describe the view out our room window. We are happy that we paid the extra to get a lakeside view room. There was a window seat that allowed us to sit and "drink" in the view. For breakfast we purchased food from the deli downstairs and pulled the table over to the window... More

This is our second stay at the Chateau Lake Louise and would highly recommend it. The location alone is magestic! We don't like the crowds, so we always book our trips to Lake Louise in the winter and it is truly a winter wonderland here. Having access to winter activities such as snowshoeing and skating right outside your hotel door... More

My wife and I have stayed here a few times and enjoyed it every time. It's an old hotel so you should small rooms but they're nicely furnished and comfortable. We went for the powder rates which made the room very affordable but you'll still pay a fair bit for food. The breakfast buffet at the Poppy Brasserie is worth... More
