Fairmont Chateau
Lake Louise
Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada |
Lake
Louise is considered to be one of the most beautiful
places in the world and Fairmont's Chateau Lake Louise
is the crown jewel sitting on the banks of Lake Louise
a glacier lake high in the Rocky Mountains. The hotel
is an older hotel that is kept in impeccable shape and
constantly remodelled to keep up with the times. Our
room was small, and our bathroom wasn't big enough for
two people to stand in at the same time without getting claustrophobic but
the view, looking straight out onto the lake and glacier
more than made up for it. I probaby would have given
up my first born if I could have had a jacuzzi tub with
that view, but you can't have everything!
One
of the hardest parts of staying at hotels for my husband
and I are pillows, they are usually terrible and not
enough of them. The Chateau, being a higher end hotel
gave us plenty of super comfy pillows and I slept like
a baby. I would awake around the crack of dawn and just
watch the sun come up as I worked on my laptop and marvel
at exactly how lucky I was to be in this spot at this
exact moment. After a leisure hour or two on the computer
I would get ready for a day of exploring and hiking.
The shower head in the bathroom was a saving grace and
the water pressure was more than adequate.
If
you have the time, energy and strength we highly recommend
climbing up to the Tea House up higher on the mountain.
It is a long uphill journey but it is an accomplishment
you will be proud of forever and know you are one of the
few that visit Lake Louise yearly that make the journey.
Keep in mind that depending on your level of fitness it
may take 3 hours to get up the mountain and there are not
many spots to take a pee break even in the bushes so when
you finally make it to the tea house, make sure to use
the out houses provided there.

I
think one of the reasons I became so interested in
bathrooms in hotels and resorts is because of my need
to use them so often. There is nothing worse than having
to go to the bathroom badly and hotel staff giving
you directions to a bathroom that appears to be several
miles away. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise impressed
me with the shear number of bathrooms they had in the
guest areas of the hotels. It seemed every turn you
made there were bathrooms of various sizes tucked away.
Even better was the fact that each one had its own
personality, were almost always empty, smelled very
pleasant and were spotless. This particular bathroom
in the hotel was well lit, had an inviting feel and
surpassed my standards. |

It
is the little touches a hotel adds to a bathroom that
make all the difference. In this particular bathroom
at Fairmonts Chateau Lake Louise a table with fresh flowers
and a lamp added a touch of home feeling and made you
want to just sit and stay a while. This served no function
to the bathroom except to give you the feeling of elegance
and invited you to just take a moment to relax, unwind,
slow your pace down just for a moment before rushing
off to your next adventure. The Chateau won my heart,
and will be on my places to vist forever |

As
you can probably tell by now, I am a fan of large, heavy
wooden doors in hotels. They are usually found in the
older hotels when the quality of workmanship was often
superior and hotels spared no expense on anything, including
the bathrooms which were often used as sitting rooms
by the ladies of the day. These beautiful dark wood doors
did not have a scratch on them and they gleamed as if
they were freshly polished. We took many more pictures
of The Chateau's bathrooms but alas our laptop died taking
with it all the pictures we had uploaded to it, so we
only managed to save a few pictures that were still on
our camera. On our next visit to Lake Louise we will
take a lot more! |
