like I've found of most fairmonts this place is an absolutely spectacular building in an unparalleled location with almost certainly amazing higher end rooms but substandard average ones. Going to Lake Louise for the first time, if you can afford the fairmonts unbelievable prices its worth it for at least a night. make sure you get the lakeview room. the... More

This hotel is really impressive. The outside looks a little bit kitsch like a lot of casinos in Vegas. The inside is of a better taste. The hall and lobby look a bit like ancient European castles. The restaurants are good and for a decent price. The rooms are nice and have a wonderful view over the lake. The bathroom... More

This iconic hotel is worth staying at. The location is outstanding and if you have the right room, the views are sensational. We had 2 interconnecting Deluxe Fairmont Lake View Rooms which had large picture windows overlooking the lake, truly beautiful. I think it is definitely worth spending the money to have a room with an outstanding view otherwise you... More

We stayed here as part of a collette tour for our honeymoon and the hotel is amazing. The scenery is just wonderful, but there was a lot of ice and cloud when we went, but it was nice to see all the snow. The food in the hotel is very nice, quite what we would call post though and very... More

Went as part of a family reunion. The suites are lovely and have the nice touches like nespresso coffee and plenty of space. The standard rooms are just a bit too small. The property is lovely, and great for a couple of nights, however in winter the banff springs is a better choice for a family due to more on-site... More

The setting is stunning but this hotel is so overpriced. One night in a small room with a great view but a tiny bathroom cost a ridiculous amount. It's not just the room price everything is expensive. Espresso coffee, a packet of nuts, meals, shopping - its all comes at a high price. The service is fussy but not always... More

I don't believe there is a more beautiful setting for a hotel in the world. I've stayed here a couple of times, but we made a mistake in upgrading this time. We originally had a lakeview room and decided to upgrade to a suite for a fee. It wasn't until the end of the transaction that the front desk host... More

What a beautiful hotel and location. Hotel is expensive but worth it. More

It depends on your view but this hotel just didn't do it for us. Stopped overnight end of April on driving tour. Yes we knew the lake would be frozen and the views not as spectacular, but what we weren't prepared for was the hoards of tour groups being led around the hotel snapping away with cameras and generally obstructing...
