I have stayed here at least a dozen times over the past few years. The service is always excellent and the setting is ideal. As a family of seven we have discovered the two bedroom suites work well for us as, while pricey, they are cheaper and more convenient than two rooms side by side. Also you want to try... More

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed your stay! The view really is incomparable and is something that everyone should have a chance to experience. I apologize that the pool facility was not up to standards. It is something we are looking into and hope to have it rectified in the near future. We look forward to welcoming you and your family... More

Had a room overlooking the lake, it was just beautiful. Hotel is amazing and the whole area is great. We were there at the start of the winter season, some of the restaurant staff were clearly just starting, but were still pretty good. More

I have stayed at every Fairmont property in Canada - except Lake Louise. So when I heard our company was sending us on training and we'd be staying at the Lake Louise Chateau - well I was thrilled. But on arrival I was less than impressed. The hotel is stunning and the setting in the mountains is spectacular but thats... More

Understandably, we were 'between seasons' in mid April and it was rainy, dull and misty so skiing, sleighride, snow shoeing were hardly an option and much of the area was closed. Also, .half of the hotel facilities were not in operation. 2 of 6 resataurants only were open for dinner, one which was a loud sports type bar and the... More

We stayed at the fairmont Lake Louise the first night and at Fairmont Banff springs. Stayed in a junior suite at lake Louise and in a deluxe room at Banff. The cost was very similar within a couple of dollars. The service was good in both, but couldn't believe the difference in rooms (even though the same price). Lake Louise... More

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is without a doubt a beautiful hotel. The architecture and elegance is inviting and classy. However if you are an Albertan going there to relax and have a romantic weekend be prepared for tourists. During the day the hotel is full of tourists from all over the world. I can understand why as the hotel... More

We stayed just overnight here and we all feel pampered staying here. The only negative was the confusing connection. Our room was in the new wing and we had to take 2 elevator rides to reach our room from the lobby. The rooms in the old wing are much smaller. The view of Lake Louise from the hotel would have...

We so pleased you enjoyed your stay; the rooms in the Mount Temple wing are larger than their counterparts in the historic wings which some guests appreciate. The view of the lake is spectacular in both summer and winter, though it is famous for its emerald colour which can only be seen when it's thawed. We hope you get a... More

Our family of three stayed in room 609 (DELUXE LAKEVIEW) at the Painter Wing last summer. The hotel is very strict with check-in time, which is OK to us. We waited an hour or so and were initially assigned a room in a turret at a lower floor. If your room is at the lower floor, the tree will block... More

Really nice place aesthetically speaking. Our $500/night room was the size of a jail cell. Had a great view though overlooking lake Louise. We asked for a king size bed and it was literally two double beds pushed together. I ended up falling between the two beds when we fell asleep at night. And for te amount I paid, I... More

I apologize that your stay was not all it should have been. While some of our guest rooms in the historic wings are a little smaller than convention for brand new hotels, am I pleased to let you know that in the fall we will begin renovations in all historic wings which will brighten the rooms as well as remove...
