With a history dating back to 1942, when the property was opened as a ski lodge, the Post Hotel is firmly rooted in Lake Louise’s heritage. Now a Relais & Chateaux member, it offers a high level of comfort and service for those looking to enjoy the surrounding Banff and Yoho National Parks. Both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are just a short drive away.
The use of wood and stone throughout the property ensures that its original character has remained. Log cabins are available if you’d prefer a more authentic experience, and there are a wide range of rooms and suites to accommodate different group sizes, from single visitors to families.
Indulge in a massage or treatment at the Temple Mountain Spa, or make use of the indoor saltwater pool, Jacuzzi and steam room. There are also three restaurants to choose from: the main dining room provides a more formal setting for fine-dining, while Fondue Stübli offers traditional Swiss-style fondues and the Outpost pub serves more casual fare. There’s also a library where you can sit with a book beside the large stone fireplace, and bicycles can be hired for local exploration during the summer.
OUR OPINION:
The hotel offers a high level of comfort and service, and a location convenient for exploring the nearby lakes, Banff and Yoho National Park. We recommend dinner in the main dining room, while the spa and pool are great places to relax after hiking the local trails.
