Deer Lodge is a 71-room historic property celebrated for its location within walking distance to Lake Louise. Originally built in 1939 and used as a teahouse for hikers, this mid-range spot hasn't had a proper revamp since the mid-80s. Several of the original elements of the house have been retained, leaving guests to either love the vintage vibe or feel disappointed in its datedness. Guest rooms are snug and they have contemporary-classic decor, including knotted wood desks and wardrobes, and some have balconies, but all lack TVs and AC. The casual Canadian Rockies cuisine, plentiful public spaces, rooftop hot tub, and massive dry sauna make it ideal for those looking to relax and unplug. The only other hotel with such a privileged location is the luxury Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, which has significantly higher rates and is better kept.

Situated inside Banff National Park, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is a historic four-pearl property with 552 rooms and suites. All units here are spacious and cozy, though decor is simple, particularly for a high-end property. Views of the lake are stunning from many rooms and suites. Amenities are numerous and include extensive dining options plus plenty of activities for outdoorsy types, from summer hiking tours to winter ski adventures. Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise also has a wellness center with a heated indoor pool and a gym, and families are well-looked after here, with kids' menus, a kids' club, and babysitting. This is a popular winter wedding destination and both mountain and lake views are stunning. If you'd prefer to be in the more lively Banff town area, sister property Fairmont Banff Springs is equally popular and sometimes less pricey.
