Taking an outdoor adventure vacation doesn’t always mean staying in
tents and cooking over a campfire. Housed in Banff National Park, on the
eastern shores of the emerald waters of Lake Louise, is an oasis of
luxury.
The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
was built in the heyday of train travel by the Canadian Pacific
Railway. The goal was to attract wealthy travelers to Canada’s west with
opulence, elegance, and of course, killer views of the lake.
It succeeded, and people continued to visit long after the era of
train travel was over. Nowadays, the Chateau is a hotspot for
nature-lovers, luxury travelers, and wedding parties.
Interiors are a mix of rustic and European, giving the place an
elegant-yet-comfortable vibe. Thinking of booking? Be sure to specify a
room in the middle wing for the best views of the lake.
Travelers lacking the cash for an overnight stay can still get a dose
of luxury by visiting the Chateau’s Lakeview Lounge for afternoon tea.
Enjoy this local tradition while gazing out at the lake through
Palladian windows while noshing on smoked salmon sandwiches and scones
served with clotted cream.
Looking to get out and explore more of the Canadian Rockies? Lake
Louise is famous for its hiking, fishing and whitewater rafting. And
with over 4200 skiable acres, it is also home to one of the largest ski
areas in North America.
