We did not stay here but looked all round the shops and reception area. We had a coffee and a snack/meal (meat lasagne $12 & chicken salad $10) in the Deli Counter area and it was all very grand and the food was good. The surprise was that it was affordable and not as pricey as even some of the... More

The hotel is another in the line of great Fairmont hotels situated at world class sites. We missed out for high tea but was still able to get a table in another dining room. We were given a window table that allowed us to view Lake Louise in all its splendor

Surely this hotel must have one of the worlds most iconic views over Lake Louise looking towards the glacier, regrettably we only had a mountain view, but what a great view that is too! Staff were very efficient and welcoming, and having asked the bell boy how we could get WI if he recommended joining the Presidents Club (no fee)... More

Not only is the location wonderful, the staff are excellent. From valet to cleaners they're top notch. We stayed in a MTN view room, which is small and over priced. The hotel does a great job at pricing everything 20% more than is necessary. That being said there is only one Fairmont Lake Louise....They are extremely accommodating for pets. The... More

Stayed here 9 nights. The service and staff are exceptional. The view is sensational! Its very peaceful to look out the windows to the lake. There is a nice lakeside walk. The restaurants in the hotel are all excellent. The buffet breakfast is great with omeletes, eggs etc to order and a good selection of other items. There are a... More

This hotel is excellent, kinda weird to build it right on the lake, in the midst of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, it doesn't really fit the environment and spoils the nature of it but oh well, its like a castle. The interior is amazing and the dining is good but very expensive. A beer is... More

We found the hotel wonderful, however a bit over the top. Its your big grand country lodge (complete with deer heads). We didn't receive a very friendly reception on check in or at the concierge, however all other staff have been great. The setting is stunning, however the information provided by the hotel on the walks around the lake is... More

The lake was frozen over when we went. Still able to walk around the lake. There is only the fairmont hotel that was open. Not sure if there is more up there during the spring/ summer time. So other then look at the lake there is not much else up there. We thankfully did stay up there, but down at... More

We ventured inside this fabulously chic and magnificently sprawling national railroad-building era hotel merely to escape the bitter cold lakeshore winds on a mid-June afternoon. We were not overnight guests. We noted clots of bus-borne tourists milling around in the hotel gift shop and in the upscale boutiques, but few seemed to be actual guests or big spenders. Signs told... More
