The exceptional service continued on the 7th floor with Jeany, who remembered our names and every detail from our prior email exchanges. Benoit was also extremely helpful, ensuring our keycards worked seamlessly. Gemma took excellent care of us throughout our stay. Junie and Bella in the Gold Lounge provided exquisite service, making each visit special. Finally, Harrison gave us the best walking tours, highlighting the local area with his unique insights. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable. And the food was exceptional! Read less

Talk about feeling taken care of. All of the hotel staff were amazing and doing their best to make our stay enjoyable. The in-house pet sitting was amazing (and I think they liked our dog too!). Food was awesome, and the room, building, and grounds, despite being under construction, were impeccable and breathtaking.

We had an amazing experience at Fairmont Lake Louise. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond. It began with a complimentary room upgrade, then we experienced amazing service at the restaurant, and it ended with a complimentary breakfast. We will definitely be back. The views are incredible. Looking forward to seeing the new pool!
