Our stay at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise was very special. Despite its enormity, it’s an incredibly romantic and dreamy spot.

We stayed in a standard room with a lake view. The views were amazingly lovely, although surprisingly the window wasn’t very big so you had to go and stand in front of the window to get the view. We liked the elegant décor and it was very comfortable, albeit rather small.

Wandering around out the front of the hotel where there were ice sculptures was gorgeous, and the Lakeview Lounge was also one of our favourite places to hang out. The views across the lake were just mesmerising.

We also dined at Walliser Stube, which featured fantastic fondues. The sommelier was very impressive but the waiter provided overly attentive service and kept interrupting us in the middle of conversation (Waiting 101).

Whilst the accommodation itself provides reasonable value for money, be prepared to drop a lot of coin if you want to eat and drink at the Chateau Lake Louise. Even at the “casual” Lakeview Lounge, it costs a small fortune.

Nevertheless it’s definitely worth treating yourself to a stay at the Chateau.
