I have wanted to stay at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise since I was 15 and I finally got the chance for my 40th birthday. On arriving, we met Hailey at the front desk who was just great. She made us feel very welcomed and upgraded our room to a deluxe with a view of the Lake. The room was... More

One of my favorites places to spend vacations. The chateau has a beautiful lobby, but the best is their beds!... those are awesome and so cozy. The best spot at the hotel is the restarant with its huge windows with the best view of the frozen ( during winter) and the mountains and glacier at the very end. Im planning... More

Check to see if they are running specials. We stayed 2 nights at 60 percent normal cost. This is an expensive area to stay, but with the deal we had and the luxury of the hotel we had a great time.

What a view.  The ice hasn't completely melted as yet but with the blue sky and the snowcapped mountains, the view from our lake view room was spectacular. Our room had a king bed with the usual great amenities that the Fairmont have become known for.  The bathroom was quite small but it was not a problem for us.  How... More

My husband and I stayed in the Belvedere Lakeview suite, which is one of the nicest (and most expensive) suites, for our honeymoon back in November of 2012.The 2 story room with balcony was absolutely fantastic and I have no complaints about it at all. It was the overall stay that was a little disappointing considering the quality of the... More

It was disappointing to read that we failed to make your honeymoon the incredibly special event that it should have been. I am pleased your enjoyed the Belvedere Suite, but you are absolutely correct that there should have been a lot more communication in regards to renovations. As we continue with hotel-wide renovations, we have improved on this. Please contact... More

While we did not stay at this hotel, we spent a good part of an afternoon there, marveling at the view and enjoying a delicious lunch. We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table because we hadn't a reservation, but that allowed us to explore the lobby and the shops. We were given a window table, and WHAT... More

It is amazing to walk out of the beautiful hotel in the morning, evening, or any time and see the turquoise water. However, the hotel is very expensive, the standard rooms are not big, and there isn't much of a "park' around it. I booked two nights at the hotel on Fairmont's web site a few weeks before my trip.... More

We strongly recommend making any dining or activity reservations at least two weeks prior to arrival to ensure you receive your ideal seating time. We always have AAA/CAA discounted rates available through our website, along with a wide... More

During a 3-day conference at the Chateau in May 2013, each and every person in our group commented on the exceptional level of service and hospitality particularly from the bell desk staff. We had wonderful service in the Lakeview Lounge where we had our group lunches. Service at the Deli was great for our morning coffee and snacks. The Glacier... More

Everything about the Chateau is outstanding: location, service, rooms, views, hiking, food, drinks. This is one of our favorite hotels anywhere in the world. The staff really seem to care about our comfort. Anything we need it is done, and all with a smile. The rooms are airy, beds are super-comfortable. The location next to lake Louise is fabulous. We...
