HI Lake Louise Alpine Centre
Lake Louise, Alberta
There may be nothing more iconic than Lake Louise—a stunning blue glacier lake backed by mountains in Banff National Park. HI Lake Louise is just down the road from the lake in a post and beam chalet with a variety of room options and its own licensed restaurant. Visit the lake, hike the local trails or ski at a world-class resort in the winter (five minutes by car).

I may be biased from staying at hostels in many other countries, but this is the nicest one I've stayed at. Multiple showers per floor, clean linen and a FULL communal kitchen so you can save money on cooking your own food!
We came to ski lake louise....We met a lot of great people and rested well. The beds were clean with a bathroom in our room. Showers are across the hall.Go make yourself known because the people staying there wish to visit and be friendly.
...as everyone knows this is THE hostel in Western Canada, and perhaps all of the country! The location can't be beat, its insanely pretty everywhere you turn, has fantastic hiking, biking, walking trails, and is minutes or a short drive to everything...
Lake Louise
Introducing Lake Louise, the beautiful turquoise lake that gave its name to the town. Expect many tourists snapping pictures, but this doesn't take away the magnificent beauty of the spot. In summer, you can rent kayaks and canoes, and in winter you can rent ice skates to enjoy some time at the lake.
Chateau Lake Louise
Step into a fairytale at this stunning hotel, built at the turn of the 20th century and designed to look like a castle. While some shops and restaurants are on the pricier side, you can still treat yourself to a luxurious experience with high tea or fancy cocktails overlooking Lake Louise—a touch of bougie indulgence that won’t break the bank.
Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse
Escape to the historic Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse, tucked away in the heart of the mountains. After a rewarding hike, treat yourself to homemade treats and tea with incredible views of towering glaciers all around. It’s the perfect way to recharge and soak in the breathtaking alpine scenery.
