INSIDE-THE-PARK HOTELS AND LODGES

FAIRMONT CHATEAU LAKE LOUISE Built in 1890 as a simple one-story log cabin, today this landmark chateau sits beneath Victoria Glacier on the shores of a blue green lake. By day postcard perfect silhouettes of the Rockies pose in seasonal vignettes as wildlife, hikers or skiers pause and play in the distance. At night the stars come out, celebrity guests included, inviting with a glittering sky show reserved for the privileged few.
Being at the top of the gondola in Banff, my husband and I were almost speechless – even our kids realized this was a once-in-a- lifetime view.

FAIRMONT JASPER PARK LODGE Village-style cedar cabins and chalets welcome you to a wilderness lodge resplendent with nature’s charms and nestled along Lac Beauvert in the heart of Jasper National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Immerse in spectacular scenery from dawn to dusk, and then indulge in a well-earned legacy of service and hospitality that dates to 1915, along with a piper who performs faithfully every night at a sunset flag-lowering ceremony.
FAIRMONT BANFF SPRINGS Did you know...?
When your family spends two days exploring Jasper National Park, largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, they might be surprised to find that the forests, lakes and granite mountains are home to about 82 species of songbirds and have a healthy population of grizzly bears, moose, and elk along with thousands of species of plants and insects.
Whitewater Wonders
You won’t need to be an experienced river rafter for your whitewater adventure through Maligne Canyon but you should be prepared to get wet, laugh out loud and most importantly have fun. Experienced river guides row your inflatable raft along rapids and calm waters of the Athabasca River past waterfalls, potholes, underground stream outlets, the nests of ravens and rare black swifts, and landscapes sculpted by water and ice.
The locals call Fairmont Banff Springs, a former railroad lodge built in 1888, the “castle.” From its majestic architecture to its rich history as an icon of luxurious mountain hospitality, its royal presence as the crown jewel of the Rockies is undeniable. And once you partake of hotel amenities you may not expect in the wilderness, from a world-class spa to fine dining, golf and more, you might never want to come down from this kingdom in the clouds!
