LAKE LOUISE GOLD SEVICE AND A SURPRISE 10, 11/09/2017

On arrival at the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Hotel we were less than impressed when we had to wait for a bell-hop and trolley to take our luggage. The prices this place charges one would expect not to have to wait! Chuck fetched a bell-hop for us who whisked our luggage away saying it would be placed in our room. The entrance and reception area are huge with guests and members of staff rushing around, we identified a check-in area and gave our names to the nice young lady.

What a fantastic bunch of people they turned out to be, totally professional and really friendly to boot. Our blog editor in chief (Gareth) will put in the links that will give you an idea of the route taken and the level of service. ( Experience the Unforgettable and prepare to be truly moved!
