Banff National Park & Lake Louise Lodging

Banff National Park & Lake Louise Lodging
Banff National Park, in the province of Alberta, is one of the largest and oldest national parks in Canada. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lake Louise is a lake within the park. The lake area and park itself is renowned for its outdoor activities, including watersports, hiking, and winter sports such as cross-country skiiing and ice skating. After an exhausting day of outdoor adventures, return to your lodging in or near the park for a relaxing Canadian vacation.

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Located on the shores of the lake, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise underwent a $6 million renovation in 2008. The hotel caters to Banff visitors who want luxurious accommodations. All guest rooms are decorated with 19th-century styled upholstery and furniture, and include sweeping views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Prepare for your day of outdoor adventures at the hotel's health club, then rejuvenate and relax after a hike with a massage treatment at the on-site Aveda spa.
