Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Built on the shores of Lake Louise in 1890, luxury comes as standard at this Fairmont Chateau. Mix in first-class service, rich history and out-of-this-world mountain views, and you've got all the ingredients for an unforgettable ski stay. Location-wise, you're a 5-minute drive away from the village, and there's a free hotel shuttle that'll whisk you over to the ski area in under 15 minutes.

The hotel's just as impressive inside as it outside, and the décor's fit for a fairytale castle – think marble floors, velvet curtains and glittering chandeliers. Things are elegant, sophisticated and comfortable in the rooms, and if only the best will do, upgrade to Fairmont Gold. Not only do the rooms have an extra-luxe feel, but you'll also have breakfast and canapés included, plus other perks like a separate bar, lounge and check-in desk.

And when it comes to facilities, the hotel's got all the bells and whistles you'd expect, with six restaurants covering all bases from fondue and afternoon tea to flavours from the Med, and four bars including an Ice Bar next to the lake. There are also yoga and fitness classes, a health club, a huge spa, an indoor pool, boutique shops and even activities like ice skating and sleigh rides.
