Chateau Lake Louise with views of the lake and mountains

Welcome to Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

When you think of the old world romance of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, you’re probably picturing Lake Louise. Turquoise water, towering glaciers, and mountains rising steeply from the valley. Originally created as a rail chalet in 1890, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise still stands on the edge of this pristine wilderness. Stay with us in the heart of Banff, Canada’s first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
