The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Property Description

Originally, the Chateau was constructed and designed to meet the demands of a summer clientele. In 1982, the Chateau had established itself as a year round vacation destination. Today, our clientele come from all points of the world to experience our incredible skiing and beautiful scenery.

Meeting space at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise doubled to 36,000 square feet when the $65 million new Mount Temple Wing opened in May 2004. The Mount Temple Wing is aptly named for its luxurious cathedral-like interior spaces and as a tribute to the tallest peak in Banff National Park.

At the heart of the facility is a 700-seat ballroom with massive wall murals of the surrounding wilderness and drop-down screens. The dramatic and soaring two-story Heritage Hall is distinguished by five large arched windows with handmade stained glass illustrations of the key wildlife of Lake Louise: eagle, bear, fish, mountain goat and wolf.

The new 200-seat Tom Wilson Dining Room is named for a legendary local explorer and features an open theatre-style grill, a wood-fired pizza oven, and a rotisserie grill.

The top two floors of the six-story building are dedicated to 81 new luxury rooms, topping the Chateau's total inventory at 550 and providing dramatic views of the turquoise lake and surrounding Rocky Mountains.
