Location & What's Nearby 

The hotel sits directly on the shore of Lake Louise, with the water's edge just steps from the front door. Fairview Lookout and the Lake Agnes Tea House trail both start nearby, giving you a route into the mountains without needing to drive. Lake Louise Ski Resort is around a 10 minute drive away, and the village, with its shops and restaurants, is close by. Moraine Lake and the Icefields Parkway are within easy reach for a day out, and Calgary International Airport is a 2 hour transfer. 

Why We Recommend It 

This hotel suits travellers who want the iconic Lake Louise view from their room rather than a separate drive. Our specialist Cheryl calls it a fantastic hotel, and she enjoys the views over the lake and Victoria Glacier from the lounge. The best moment, she says, is opening the curtains in the morning in a lake view room. Set within Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it works well for couples and families wanting a full resort experience in the Canadian Rockies without leaving the grounds, from skiing in winter to hiking and canoeing in summer. It also fits neatly into a broader Rockies itinerary.
