Lake Louise: Banff National Park, Alberta
Stunning glacier and lake views greet guests from the rear of the chateau.
In the late 1800s, William Cornelius Van Horne, general manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, said, "Since we can’t export the scenery, we will have to import the tourists." And so they did. The railroad developed Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, both of which opened their doors in 1890. While the great lodges of America’s national parks have a comfortable hunting-lodge aura, Canada’s Banff and Lake Louise accommodations have a stately, opulent ambience. Surrounded by snow-tipped mountain peaks and the majestic Victorian Glacier, Chateau Lake Louise is on the shore of pristine Lake Louise, where you can hike, downhill or cross-country ski, cycle, and canoe
