    I haven't changed my review for the Fairmont. But I am writing this update as a warning to anyone…read morewho purchases flavorite latés from here. When I came in the Summer of 2025, I noticed they use the 1883 Lavender syrup from France. Sounds fancy right? But it actually doesn't use any actual lavender syrup; the flavor is all artificial. It also contains Red 40 which has already been known to be a mutagen for 20+ years BEFORE, before RFK. My syrup had developed a microbial (bacterial most likely) biofilm and growths within the syrup. My syrup still has 6 months before the expiration date. If the syrup is being used quickly, then maybe it isn't a problem, but I don't think lavender is a super popular flavor. So if you're at the Fairmont, check the bottles of syrup flavorings before you order, especially if it is the 1883 brand. Also, if you're staying at the Fairmont Hotel...why don't they just make lavender simple syrup in the kitchen? You mean to tell me this fancy hotel can't afford to make simple syrup? It tastes better too.

    I came here for their afternoon tea on Christmas Eve. It was amazing! Lake Louise was completely…read morefrozen but no ice skating rink unfortunately. Apparently it's been snowing heavily and due to the heavy snowfall, the hotel could not put up the rink until it would stop snowing. Lots of people were hanging out on the lake. The hotel had ice sculptures and an ice bar. I saw a few horse drawn carriages as well. They had a well lit tunnel. Their lobby was decorated with Christmas trees and garlands. For the afternoon tea, I got the Egyptian chamomile tea. It had sweet elements to it and was considered a flavored tea. I did try it with sugar and milk. Although it didn't taste bad, I prefer to have my tea without anything. The tea itself was good enough for me. In addition to the tea, my meal came with a glass of prosecco. For the food, I got their basic menu which comes with 4 varieties of cake, 2 pastries, 3 sandwiches, a croissant and deviled egg. They offer different foods as well depending on your dietary needs. They have seafood, vegetarian, kids menu and I believe gluten free as well. Wait staff were very friendly and accommodating. My waiter was so kind and helpful. My view from my table was beautiful. I plan on coming back again.

    Great Divide Lodge - Dinner view

    This place has a few things going for it. The lake and mountain view is awesome; our room had a…read morenewer TV on which I watched the Stampeders defeat the Ti-Cats; it has access to free wifi; and it's affordable. Also, all of the staff we interacted with were friendly. Unfortunately, the place is gross. The first thing I had to do upon entering the room was kill mosquitos. Since we'd been camping, we didn't need more bug bites. There were many of the diminutive enemy resting on the filthy popcorn ceiling, so I stood on a chair and stealthily squished them with my finger. Since we'd been camping, showers were in order. We took them, and they were fine. However, my time in the washroom allowed me to observe that there were hairs in there that weren't ours, that the tub and mirror needed refinishes a long time ago, and that the fan didn't do anything to clear the steamy air. This last issue was important because the outside air quality was a level 7 from the wildfires, so we had the screen door and window shut (Our eyes and lungs were stinging like mad). But alas! No air conditioning. Thus, even though it was 70 degrees fahrenheit outside, it was hot and muggy in our room. The beds were ok, but every time someone walked by our room, the plywood of the landing resonated enough to wake me. Also, my wife was bothered by the train across the lake, which made an other-worldly sound that was something between a hum and a squeal, which I rather enjoyed. If you are a heavy sleeper, none of this would be enough to bother you. The road noise, of which there was a great deal during the day, died out at night. The most interesting part of our stay was "breakfast." It was self-serve, and our choices consisted of coffee, tea, toast, and cereal. I thought I would have cereal, but all four of the bowls in the "clean" stack were visibly dirty. So I had toast and jam. The bread choice was which bag would I take my slice of inexpensive brown bread from. The coffee was fine, but I'd advise you to use a to-go cup. The furniture in the dining room was shabby, even though recently purchased from Target. Nevertheless, we sat down at a crumb-covered table and took in the view.

    Fair prices, cozy rooms, very poor service!…read more A couple friends and I booked a stay and ski package here over reading week, first impression was a cozy little lodge, and decently priced rooms. This would have been a great place for us students to stay on a budget, if it wasn't for the service we received. The staff and management were cold and not very accommodating. A part of the package we booked was a shuttle service to and from the ski hill, and even after we double and triple checked the pick up time for that afternoon, our shuttle still managed to leave us at the hill as the driver decided to leave 25 minutes early. Hotel management refused to pay for the cab we had to take back, or to even apologize for the inconvenience and instead decided to argue with us before blowing us off completely. So bottom line, if you're willing to put up with extremely poor service and treatment in order to save a buck, you could give this place a try. Otherwise, I'd say keep looking.

An excellent blend of calming, long strokes, and firm pressure. Her technique was very interconnected and flowed over my skin. I'd highly recommend it! I booked a 90 minute Sports Therapy massage with Caitlin while waiting for a friend that was hiking at Lake Louise. You don't need to be a hotel guest to book the spa.

There were several nice amenities, such as a fresh whole fruit basket in our room upon arrival, tea in the lobby in afternoons (however, we didn't partake), nice breakfast treat left in our room each night, coffee in the room and in the hallway if you preferred fresh coffee and creamer. Our room was a nice size with 2 double beds and 2 comfortable chairs and small table. The location was wonderful as we rented a car & drove all around the area. What a gorgeous area! OMG! I have never seen so much beauty within a short drive. I took so many photos. It snowed the 2nd night we were there and made the mountains extra beautiful. The service at the hotel was great - doorman, registration desk & a staff member even helped us scrape ice off our windshield in the morning when it was 14 degrees (F) out. We're from California, US, so didn't know how to do it! LOL! I have recommended the Post Hotel to several friends and we're considering returning in the Spring. Loved it here!

    Stay two nights both times the front desk was friendly and fast at getting ours (2 different rooms)…read more. The rooms are typical of what to expect at a hotel. Found the housekeeping did well at first sight and closer look at closet window etc it was Bed is medium soft so we didn't mind. And the pillows case had stitched in ( soft hard ) nice touch Though both rooms we felt it was a bit colder, even though we spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to get the furnace to blow warm air. After at least 10 minutes in both rooms we gave up. First night we went into the hot tub and pool area ( hot tub wasn't extremely hot 40 c more like 30, no way to adjust the temperature and the jets were not that powerful). But still nice enough to soak in. The pool was nice though . The breakfast Continental was extreme there was ( pancake, omelette, sausage, potatoes, cold cereal, oatmeal, toast, bagels, yogurt, juice's coffee teas, cinnamon buns fruit hard boiled cold eggs ) wow !!

Our rooms was nice and clean, we had a great view of the mountains. I loved opening the drapes every morning to get that view. The front desk person was friendly and helpful. We had no issues and the place was completely full. The complimentary breakfast was good. Scrambled eggs, omelettes, turkey sausage patties or pork links, and various fruit. The fruit was always plentiful. They also had cinnamon buns, yogurt, boiled eggs, a pancake machine, oatmeal and the list goes on. The breakfast area although busy was kept clean and stocked. Coffee was always fresh and no line up when I went to get breakfast or coffee. In general this was a clean hotel. The only thing I have a suggestion on, is there's a sign in the room saying if you don't want new towels keep them hung up, if you want them replaced throw them on the floor. Well we always hung ours up and they gave us fresh ones each time. We did discuss it with the front desk to which they only said "ok thanks". That's my only suggestion if I don't want a new towel don't give me one please. I would stay here again. The price was right as well. We paid $800 for the 3 nights.
