Location

An unrivalled location, the Chateau occupies one of Canada’s most exclusive addresses, right on the shores of famous Lake Louise and within Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guests can simply step out and enjoy the lake outside of peak hours, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the daytime tourists.

The upscale Fairview Bar and Restaurant offers locally sourced fine dining, while the Lakeview Lounge is perfect for cocktails and nibbles. Enjoy European cuisine and a great wine list at Walliser Stube, or relax at Alpine Social with casual drinks and eats. For a smaller bite, The Guide’s Pantry offers all-day pastries, and opt for breakfast with a view at Poppy Brasserie.

There are several measures in place including incorporating ‘no net negative environmental impact’ practices, energy and water saving measures, sustainable food, and toiletry recycling.
