| Description |
The hotel was first conceived by the railway at the end of the 19th century, as a vacation destination to lure moneyed travellers into taking trains and heading West.[2] By the time airplanes and automobiles had displaced the trains, it had gained sufficient renown to have a life of its own. In 1999, Canadian Pacific Hotels (a division of the Canadian Pacific Railway) acquired Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, and adopted the Fairmont name for all of its hotels, resulting in the Chateau Lake Louise being operated as a Fairmont hotel. I am glad we opted to spend a full day in the Lake Louise Chateau. It gave us an opportunity to enjoy their restaurants and to photograph the surroundings. The Chateau has many beautiful chandeliers, sculptures, paintings, stained glass, taxidermy, bannisters and elaborate woodwork. My wife and I celebrated our 50th anniversary with a wonderful Rocky Mountaineer train trip from Vancouver to Lake Louise and back the week of May 5-11, 2019. We flew from Phoenix to Seattle, bused to the Pacific Central Station and Fairmont Waterfront hotel in Vancouver and then boarded the Rocky mountaineer train early the next morning. The mountains, sights, food and luxurious service all made for the most wonderful trip we ever made. The Lake Louise Chateau was especially elegant. We enjoyed the resort for a full day mid-week. We returned from Vancouver to Seattle on the Amtrak costal route train. |
