It's the only hotel with a stunning first hand view of Lake Louise.
This hulking, 539-room hotel commands one of Canada’s knockout locations: on the edge of the Rockies’ most famous lake, with a horizon filled by spiky summits.
Wanderlust, April 2025Two hours west of Calgary may seem an unlikely setting for a world-class luxury hotel, but this one has been an institution for decades, the likes of Douglas Fairbanks and Alfred Hitchcock gracing its halls, living the high life against the backdrop of the snow-capped Rockies, overlooking the steep majesty of the glacial lake and escaping into the wilderness at every opportunity.
