Chateau Lake Louise

Okay well this place isn't really a city or a town or a village but it's one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Chateau Lake Louise is part of the Fairmont Hotel Chain and this hotel.. OH MY it is so beautiful!





























The hotel is located on the edge of Lake Louise near Banff in Alberta. We did a road trip around Canada and were fortunate enough to have stayed at this stunning hotel. The hotel is isolated from the town of Banff which is really nice because you can really connect to nature and it's nice and quiet. I really could appreciate the Canadian nature so much more. Oh and the lake water was SO ICE COLD. We wanted to go kayaking but the water was just so freezing that we were scared we'd fall in!





























The hotel is fairly big and it takes a while to get from one place to the other. The interior of the hotel is very grand and elegant. During Winter time, Chateau Lake Louise is popular for ski tourist. They have a big ski cellular where one can keep their ski equipment and they also have a ski rental shop. The hotel has a fitness center (very small for a hotel this big) and a indoor heated swimming pool. There are also plenty of restaurants (a great breakfast buffet) and gift shops. The hotel is about a 45 min bus ride to Banff but everything you really need is located in the hotel. The hotel has a great variety of activities for hotel guest (kayaking, yoga, nature walks, horse riding). They have a great nature trail around the lake but beware, THERE ARE BEARS!
