Great location. Such a stunning area. Lovely walk by the lake. Free bus in the winter to lake louise ski area which was great. There is ski and ice skate hire within hotel, which was handy. Wi fi was expensive. Gym was good as was the hot tub and pool area. More

My husband and I stayed here midweek in the dead of winter - ja pre-baby get away. We got a foot of snow overnight! It was a wonderful experience - except for the drive home! Great hotel, lots of places to sit and enjoy the magnificent view. Smallish rooms, but okay for us without our kids. More

Beautiful hotel. Amazing food in the restaurants. It is very pricey - book directly with hotel and ask for discount deals such Costco member discount, etc. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. One note - do not use the sofa beds - only suitable for very small children - better off to get one of the cots which was extremely... More

Lake Louise is without a doubt one of the world's most naturally beautiful places, and the Fairmont Lake Louise makes appreciating that beauty very easy. The hotel is perfectly located at the tip of the lake, offering magnificent views. We were there in late summer, and enjoyed canoing on the lake, hiking and horseback riding. An added bonus in the...

We stayed for 2 nights. It's a very nice place for sports, as snowshoeing, cross-country ski and ice skating. We liked the location and had a nice lakeview. We did not have to take the car to do our sports. We had to pay 25$ per day for parking the car. We think that the rooms are very expensive and... More

Spent 4 days at Chateau LL 2 for business, 2 with family. Great service, food was very good. KIds had room service on the Friday, great new menu. Kids had calimari as an app and a couple of young adult meals - strip with mashed and carrots. they really liked it. There was the usual extra cost associated with room... More

External view of hotel is ironically more impressive than inside. Lake is breathtaking. Rooms are clean, updated and have amazing views of Lake Louise. Restaurant/bar staff are nice, but very slow service in each restaurant. Food is mediocre, but let's be honest, you're really staying (and paying) for the view and proximity to Lake. We hiked to Mirror Lake, Little... More

We just returned from a three night stay in a Jr. Suite located on the mountain side of the hotel. Since it was mid January and we spend the daytime skiing, we did not opt for the lake view, rather saving that for a summer visit. Check In - Our arrival was quick and efficient as I checked in using... More

Thank you very much for your comprehensive review! You certainly came on a great weekend – Ice Magic is truly a special time to visit to experience ice sculpture carving “behind the scenes”. And yes, your very insightful daughter is right – all too often do we forget how lucky we are to have this right in our backyard! Glad... More

We stayed here a few weeks ago and skied Lake Louise. The hotel is a classic -- great service, and it hasn't really changed character in years. Have a drink in the lobby bar overlooking Lake Louise, and it's magic. Rooms are a bit small, and the heating system was a little over the top. But a great stay --... More

This is a beautiful location. The hotel itself is mice but the staff is very young and not either very well trained or very customer service savy. Restaurants are ok food wise but crowded with grumpy staff. My wife got sick and there is no medical care in town. You have to travel an hour back to Banff. We booked... More
