Chateau Lake Louise

All the natural areas around the hotel Chateau Lake Louise are incorporated into the Banff National Park. This park has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The original Chateau Lake Louise was gradually built up at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is a Fairmont Hotel on the eastern shore of Lake Louise. By the time airplanes and automobiles had displaced the trains, it had gained sufficient renown to have a life of its own. The Canadian Pacific Railway long ago sold it to other interests.
