Last weekend we escaped from the city to the well-known Alberta retreat, Chateau Lake Louise.
The hotel is named after one of Queen Victoria's daughters, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta.
This hotel has an Alpine theme, inspired by Swiss guides who where hired in the early days of the hotel to guide their guests through the local mountain range. The theme is echoed throughout the hotel especially by the Swiss maidens hoisting-up glowing candelabras illuminating the Chateau.
While Andrew took to the slopes for a few hours, I took the opportunity to write our Christmas cards in this perfectly appropriate setting.
As beautiful as the Chateau is, I must confess, The Banff Springs Hotel is still the best place to stay in Banff in my opinion. Do you have a favorite place to stay in Banff??
