Truly a stunning location with spectacular views worth the extra price for the lakeview rooms. That being said, when measured against comparable hotels that charge similar rates, the total experience comes up a little short. Overall, the service was competent but nothing special. The Chateau should think about stepping it up a bit as its competition has already done so.... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night in May. I read the review of this hotel and we booked a lake side view room. It's pricy but worth the price. View from the room was so beautiful. If you stay this hotel, you should pay extra to get a lake side view room. We stayed on gold floor.... More

Stayed in every 5 sat hotel in Banff now & planning on moving there in the not so distant future. This is definitely the nicest, everything about it is just amazing, literally just like something off a film. Being able to go walk on the lake when it's froze over is amazing. The views are something else. Once in. Lifetime... More

As part of our Rocky Mountaineer trip, we were lucky to be able to stay a night at the lovely Lake Louise Chateau. We were early arriving with our tour and were told that rooms probablyl would not be available till 4pm which is checking in time. Unfortunately this proved to be correct, we had a wait of over 3...

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
