The Lake Louise Inn offers home from home comfort with cosy rooms, a popular bar and restaurant, and an indoor pool and whirlpools for relaxation. You are just metres from the ski bus stop, and a five minute walk from the village.

Dining 

You are a five minute walk from Lake Louise Village with quaint shops and restaurants. We love the on-site restaurants including the Timberwolf Pizza & Pasta Café, or the Explorer's Lounge with pub food, board games and a jukebox. Head to the Legends Restaurant on Saturday night for live music and entertainment. 

Comfort & convenience

The hotel has classic Canadian Lodge styling and rooms are simply decorated with all amenities you will need. 

Try out the hotel's indoor pool, sauna and whirlpools after a day on the slopes. Or, if you haven't had enough of the snow, grab a pair of complimentary snow shoes and head out into the winter wonderland.

If you’re looking for lots of mileage on the slopes, this is a great spot to stay as the local area alone has over 4,200 acres of varied terrain spread across four mountain faces – it’s one of the largest in North America. The area is known for its variety, from gentle slopes and long cruisy runs, to glades and some of the Canadian Rockies most thrilling, wide open bowls. From the Top of the World Express chair, the view along the Bow Valley is one of almost unsurpassed grandeur, with an unbroken chain of towering peaks scattered with hanging blue glaciers, and green valley floors. This place is a photographers dream.
