"A WWII-era hotel with a contemporary rustic design, located in the heart of Banff National Park at Lake Louise." - Mark Fedeli
"This transformed WWII-era ski lodge strikes a refined balance between rustic mountain charm and upscale amenities, emphasizing nature without overshadowing it. Notable facilities include a Roman-inspired saltwater pool, spacious cabin-style rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, an award-winning wine cellar housing over 22,000 bottles (recipient of the Wine Spectator Grand Award for decades), and a comprehensive spa offering treatments tailored to post-outdoor recovery. The property offers direct access to hiking trails, complimentary bikes and ski shuttles, and curated seasonal packages for skiing and holidays." - Laura Studarus Laura Studarus Laura Studarus is a writer, traveler, and photographer from Los Angeles, California.

"If you decide to stay in Lake Louise instead of commuting from Banff—tough to resist, once you glimpse the surroundings—drop your bags at Post Hotel & Spa, the only Relais & Châteaux property in the Canadian Rockies. Its serene Temple Mountain Spa and superb Outpost restaurant are destinations in themselves."
"The Post Hotel & Spa is set in the heart of the pristine Banff National Park, surrounded by the Canadian Rocky Mountains and overlooking Lake Louise. The original log-walled lodge—opened in 1942 as the Lake Louise Ski Lodge—has stone fireplaces and a cheery red alpine roof, and the numerous add-ons, extensions, and renovations over the years have preserved and accentuated this rustic design. This is further enhanced by the hotel's interior color palette of burgundy and neutrals, and set off by luxurious touches such as overstuffed couches and Egyptian-cotton sheets. The accommodations include intimate cabins for two and a 3,000-square-foot mountain chalet ideal for groups and families. Just minutes away from one of Canada ’s largest ski areas and blessed with an abundance of perfect powder each season, the Post Hotel & Spa is popular with skiers and boarders from across North America; in summer it attracts outdoor enthusiasts keen to explore the myriad treasures of the national park. It has been a Relais & Châteaux property since 1990."
