Just returned from the resort's 35th Anniversary Trip for colleagues. It was over the top; the hotel spoiled us all. We all enjoyed the newly expanded Fairmont Gold Floor, renovated rooms and suites, food and drinks at the Mallard Bar, a walk around Lost Lake ending in chili and cocktails at the Club House, with a final night Gala in the MacDonald Ballroom. We were treated like honored guests and the food and beverage every step along the way was amazing. The property has had many updates over the years, but right now the property is in pristine condition...stunning really. General Manager, Ken Hall, has a lot to be proud of both for the property and his team. I highly recommend this property to both leisure and group guests. The location cannot be beat, and you could not ask for better service and care. Read less

Stayed for 4 nights in a king bed guest room . I had booked a two queen guest room, but upon check-in we were told that a room was not guaranteed for conference attendees and rooms would be assigned upon arrival. This was not our experience the year prior when we stayed in a one bedroom suite as conference attendees. This room assignment was problematic as we were a group of 4. They brought a rollaway, which barely fit in the room. 3 people sleeping in one bed is not ideal and only feasible in this situation as it was one adult and two children in the bed. The room was an accessible room with a shower only. The slate shower was in rough condition and I couldn’t stand to look at the floor. The bathroom had a shelf for extra storage and that was nice. Asides from the room fiasco and bathroom that needs refurbishing, everything else at the hotel was great. Lovely breakfast buffet, very convenient ski valet and wonderful pool facilities. I love the pool here. It’s so warm that you can easily transition between the hot tub and pool. It’s very busy when the lifts close, but everyone fits. Drink service is nice and I also enjoy the self serve coffee/tea station. Having status as an All Accor member is pointless. Although we have platinum status, we’ve never been able to get late checkout or early checkin and I’ve only asked twice across all of our Fairmont stays. The only perk we’ve received is the welcome basket. The basket you get in a guest room is very sad compared to the one you get in a suite. Read less
