"A five-star château awaits you at the world-famous, 539-room Fairmont Château Lake Louise. Another six-time Readers' Choice Award winner, this hotel offers the epitome of elegance to guests: surreal lake views, soothing spa treatments, stellar food and beverage options, and scores of outdoor activities. A destination in and of itself, this fairytale resort was initially built to entice travelers to embark on a Rocky Mountain rail adventure during the early days of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Fling open your blinds in the morning for a front-row view of turquoise Lake Louise flanked by the prominent peaks of Victoria Glacier. Take it all in, then get outside no matter the season for a day spent doing anything and everything: go for a guided hike to a mountainside teahouse, join an e-bike tour, take a sleigh ride, or hit the slopes. Upon your return, stroll beneath the ornate chandelier, passing galleries and on-site shops, to enjoy a cocktail with a view at Fairview Bar & Restaurant. Pro tip: Spend at least one morning with a cup of coffee in bed and an elaborate in-room dining spread (try a blueberry scone and the brioche French toast) while you witness the sun sparkling on the lake." - Alexandra Toto
