We took the children skiing (ages 12, 10 and 4) and decided to stay two nights at Lake Louise after a few days at Banff. We had never been here before, but I had to laugh when we arrived and mentioned to our concierge that we usually stay in Banff and this was our first stay here, he smiled warmly... More

We went with our children to ski. Very incredible lake surrounded by mountains. You can skate in the frozen lake! With an ice castle, or ride on a cart with horses. You have a shuttle to the ski resort. Very cold!!!! More

I stayed at the Chateau for a few days this summer, and again this winter. It is one of the best hotels I've stayed at, and my favourite Fairmont. In the summer we hiked, swam, put the kids in an art program, canoed and walked the hotel dog (who is cute but very lazy). In the winter we skated on... More

My husband, three children and I are from Australia and wanted a white Christmas and it was beyond our expectations. The Fairmont was amazing and the views were just unbelievable. We took trip Advisors reviews advice and paid the extra for a lake view room. It was well worth it. On our first day we ice skated and when it... More

It's hard to complain about a hotel in this spectacular location. The view from our (small but adequate) top-floor room overlooked the lake and the Rockies. That said, if we returned to Lake Louise we'd stay at one of the boutique hotels nearby and just come to the Chateau for a drink or appetizers in the lobby bar. Our disappointments:... More

Chateau Lake Louise is the most famous hotel in the Lake Louise area, with it's large palace like exterior and location right next to the main Lake Louise, it's not hard to see why it's such as desirable hotel to stay in. Upon arrival the hotel features full valet services for vehicles and all reception staff are helpful and friendly.... More

We spent 3 nights at the Chateau over Christmas. They really do Christmas well, with an ice castle, skating, caroling, and great food. The views of Lake Louise from this hotel are incredible. We ate twice in the Poppy Room, and once in the Lounge area, and the food was excellent. Staff are very helpful as well. My only complaints... More

We stayed 5 days in the winter. The views are fabulous and the staff is outstanding. We had a large suite and our two teenagers had a double twin room. We had a chance to dine in all 5 of the restaurants and found the food to be delicious. We took advantage of the free ski shuttle. Barrie at The... More

The Scenic Tours brochure we were given shows the arched windows with Lake Louise in the background with the mountains all around the lake. Being there to see that its even better than you could imagine.The horse sled day was particularly bitter cold for most of us with temps hitting -17C that day. We had a snowball fight and toboganning... More
