Great view of Lake Louise right from our room.Beautiful grounds and an impressive interior. Used the swimming pool, hot tub and steam room. Overall a memorable experience.
Wow! what a place to stay! 5 plus starts all around. The resort was awesome, our room was great (bathroom a bit small but workable), the food was wonderful, and the service? Impeccable!!! The Glacier spa experience was out of this world (I highly recommend that one) and there's no place you can have the type of access to Lake Louise, than this resort. We had an amazing, amazing time.
Breathtaking views from the rooms, the restaurants, and the Basin spa was such a relaxing experience. Hikes from every direction with amazing views. Food was top class and had the best steak in the Fairview. The service couldn’t be any better with attendees at every step of your stay. A fine upstanding icon and our stay was beyond wonderful.
Everything went really well, and overall, I loved our stay. If you want to be right next to Lake Louise, this is definitely the place to stay. The location is incredibly scenic, and the hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous.
The only downside for families is that the pool is very small, and there aren’t many amenities or activities for children. I also wasn’t impressed with the food at the hotel. I found the dining options limited, and unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. The beautiful location and scenery were definitely the highlights of our stay.
The service and care of everyone I came across during my stay was fantastic. Sarah at the front desk was extremely kind and helpful! In addition, The Basin was an amazing experience.
This was a special trip for me. I took it solo after my fiancé passed. I was nervous it wouldn’t live up to the hype. However, the views, the staff, and the overall experience did not disappoint.
The staff were over the top kind, competent, helpful and engaging. The view from our room was enchanting and the entire visit was relaxing but yet invigorating. My only regret is that we didn't stay nearly long enough to totally absorb the fullness of the hotel adventures. We definitely desire a repeat visit maybe during winter or spring.
This hotel is the ultimate and luxury. The staff treated me like I was their most important guest. The view outside of my window was so breathtaking. I was able to roll out of bed at 7:30 in the morning, raise my window shade, sit in my window seat, and take an amazing photo of the sunrise. Any food that I purchased at the many restaurants was all fantastic. Every amenity that a person could want is available at this hotel.
Very friendly staff, try their best to help us in all aspects. Plenty activities for both adults and the kids. The dining room food is super delicious.
We had a wonderful experience 10/10,the staff was amazing specially Harrison from Lakeview restaurant. Everything about our experience was unforgettable in the best way. The view from our room was breathtaking!Can’t wait to go back and definitely stay at the Fairmont.
Amazing hotel. Staff was top tier. Views of Lake Louise spectacular. Beds so comfy. Nespresso maker in the room nice touch. Once in a lifetime hotel stay
This was an amazing experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I loved being able to text the concierge- they were able to move our dinner reservation for us via text. The view from the lake view room is without a doubt worth the cost!
You have to stay here at least one night to get the whole experience. The rooms are amazing, staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is exceptional.
