Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

“The view is unmatched if you are on the lake side. Maybe the best hotel view there is. Rooms were pretty quiet. The restaurants were pretty good. Not amazing but good. The baked goods are absolutely amazing. They have fantastic bakers. The furniture in the rooms is a little stained and maybe not what you would expect paying these prices. The bed was comfy. There seems to be a little confusion there as well. One person told us something was included with our stay, and it wasn’t. They definitely owned the mistake. Also not many extra amenities in the rooms, which you would expect paying these prices. I would also add that I am not sure if a housekeeping guy was trying to break in because while in our room with the do not disturb sing on the door, he knocked over and over and over and when I finally answered he looked shocked. He did not have a cleaning cart with him which makes me very suspicious”

“Stayed at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise with my wife and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt special, the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and made our stay seamless. The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the entire property is beautifully maintained. We had the chance to try a few dining spots on-site, and the food across the board was excellent. The spa and Basin experience were highlights for us perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. What I really appreciated was how easy it is to just stay on the property and enjoy everything without needing to go anywhere else. It’s the kind of place you come to unwind and create great memories. Definitely a place we’d love to come back to.”

“We went on a hike at Lake Louise and wanted some delicious pastries and tea. We went to Fairview at their 1:45 tea time! Our server was Julia and although short mishaps of our booking that we made at the wrong location the kind hostess Evelyn and Emily were very sweet and helped us enjoy our memory. Another server named Mike also helped us and kept our drinks refreshed while also giving us some very helpful advice on where to go on the rest of our vacation. Julia kept us more than satisfied with our tea and pastries. Her positive and informative experience of 18.5 years was extremely impressive and helped us choose our tea. We would 100% return to enjoy tea time with Julia, Mike, Emily and Evelyn again at the FairView. A wonderful experience made by wonderful service. Delicious sandwiches, scones, and deserts. Extraordinary and unique talent in the cuisine. Interesting texture that was so yummy. Fresh and beautiful. With an amazing view of the lake and mountains.”

“The view from my room literally took my breath away. The property was elegant and well kept. The service everywhere had that little extra touch, from the check in process to the restaurants. My only complaint is that I wish I could've stayed longer. The glacial spa was really fun and relaxing. I loved doing the circuit. The indoor/outdoor pool was so cool overlooking the lake. My favorite part was being able to order a drink and lobster roll in the middle of the spa. What a neat experience! We had just come from a few days at Fairmont Banff Springs, and Lake Louise was significantly better. It felt more intimate, upgraded and had much better service. Highly recommend Lake Louise, especially if you are traveling without kids.”

“Magical hotel to stay in. We stayed for a week, had views of Lake Louise which were fabulous, backed by the gorgeous snowy Rockies. Postcard material !!! . I had my own skates, so skated on the lake a few times, but be warned, it was so rough and had so many bumps and ditches to trip on (and I'm a fairly competent skater), although this may be because they had apparently only started to prepare the lake for skating, a couple of weeks previously. But I still enjoyed the experience - my first time skating on an open lake ! The hotel itself was resort like, with some very nice shops and several good restaurants. I missed having a beauty salon or hair salon. There was a spa experience with massages which was nice. We were not so impressed with Walliser Stube, the food was very nice, even though our waiter took our order incorrectly - my partner was served pork schnitzel instead of chicken - and he wasn't very helpful with wines either. But the view at the restaurant was magnificent at night. But we did not think overall, anything was really exceptional. We just as much enjoyed our dinner at Louiza the first night, as we did at Walliser Stube on the last night. Skiing at Lake Louise was spectacular, no queues, amazing snow (even though it was apparently not the best of years) but be prepared for a bit of travel to get there. It was super convenient to get our ski's and stocks from the Chateau, but then having to wait (one time we had just missed one of the shuttles) for transport to the ski fields, then having to walk and cart our ski gear up the road, up the stairs then back down was not pleasant. But it was all made up for, once we hit the stunning slopes ! ...”

“I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. I want to give a special shoutout to Ryan from In-Room Dining, who personalized a pasta dish for me with such care and attention—it was truly delicious. The front desk also went above and beyond by giving me a room with a stunning view, which made my stay even more memorable. On my checkout day, even though the restaurant was closed, they made the same personalized pasta for me again—such a kind gesture. I’m so grateful for this exceptional service and attention to detail. I can’t wait to return!”
