Trav i like this content, as Canadian history is amazing as any history is amazing. To all the great people as well who lost their lives while building the tracks across Canada! This is great for them to get the respect they well deserved!! 💚💚💚🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day
We've stayed here once, but we've eaten here many times. We also have hiked up to the tea house and canoed on the stunning lake. The grounds are beautiful and Lakeview Lounge has a wonderful lunch and dinner menu. It's definitely worth spending the night, if you can get over the price!! The good thing is if you're just visiting for lunch, dinner, or just a walk about, there is a good amount of free parking. Just a heads up, if you don't have a park pass, the "park pass police" have been known to stake out the car park looking for those who have not purchased either a day pass or yearly pass!!! We've seen them there and luckily we had our yearly pass :)
@@trav4oilers That is the one I watched yesterday (Monday). OMG...WOW 🤩🤩🤩 I gave that one a 5+ on my list, it is incredible!! Crazy that of all places Saskatoon's comes up the best in my opinion! I've seen Calgary, Lake Louise, Saskatoon, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Banff, I have Toronto and Quebec yet to watch. Not sure if there are any more in the series.
That's not what I would call a chateau, more like a village. Thanks, Trav, awesome once again. Off topic here, but I just returned from Montana, I've never been surrounded by so much natural beauty, but Trav, Lake Louise certainly comes close.
It’s an incredible feeling when you’re in that peaceful beautiful setting! Never been to Montana but just a continuation of Banff I heard thanks for watching
Loving the series Trav. I really like the historical perspective you are including in the series. It really is highlighting just how beautiful Canada is. One question, when you guys went hiking the trails what shoes did you wear? Odd question but I’m buying shoes now for a family visit in December/January so it’s great to hear from a local. I’m looking forward to your next video in the series! Cheers
I think they advise against hiking in the winter but I just use my nike metcon shoes and never had a problem although prob you wont hiking boots. Thanks again for the love and watching each episode! Excited for you to see the Winnipeg one ;p
I hope the series explodes, and i can finish the rest of Canada's railway hotels and then come stateside. Still loads more to do like the Empress, Princes of Wales, Prince Arthur, Chateau Laurier, Chateau Frontenac, and Queen Elizabeth ;)
Watching this on Canada Day, it makes one proud to see that we have such stunning world class scenery. Even with this hotel being a little pricey, it definitely is on my bucket list.
Sick. I love the history twist, has a bald and bankrupt (youtuber) feel to it. Maybe break up the history lesson and spread it out through parts of the video? Either way I think these videos have high potential, probably a lot of cool stuff around Canada, looking forward to the others
Hey thanks for the comment zach!. I got 8 more episodes on the grand railway hotels of Canada coming out so I hope you enjoy them all. I try to spread it out a bit more as the series goes on
Great video of one Canada’s premier resort hotels. I hadn’t visited lake Louise for almost 40 years, when I was a teen. But I did get back there in Sept 2017, and actually had lunch in that grand dining room with the view. I also went to visit lake Moraine, just a few km, from there, which I had never seen before, and wow, the stunning view, just like the old back of the Canadian $20 bill, which unfortunately isn’t around anymore. Unfortunately, you’re too young to remember that old bill.😉
@@trav4oilers I'd say the Banff episode just because of the location being absolutely stunning, this Lake Louise being a close second. Honestly don't think you get enough credit for all your talents. Looking forward to every future episode.
@@trav4oilers my friends band has a great song that captures this series very well. It's called get there. th-cam.com/video/i2j47Aoe8vc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8uW7Vmdvn7S9elH_
Funny how so many railway hotels burned down conveniently making way for a new grander hotel. The Chateau Lake Louise is one of the Western RR hotels we’ve never stayed at because of the cost. It is ridiculously overpriced. They’re all expensive but when we were travelling the mountains, Banffsprings had far more to offer, like indoor outdoor pools and many restaurants to choose from. We did many hikes in the area. Absolutely gorgeous. Our last few hikes we started bringing garbage bags to pick up litter ignorant tourists left behind.
I could not agree more. Chateau Lake Louise is fine being visited, but not staying at. Thanks for watching my friend, you should check out the other episodes in my railway hotel series across canada covering the story of our country, the passenger service that no longer exists and how the railway hotels built it!
It absolutely does BUT it's not a long distance passenger train. It doesn't make stops along the way or resemble much of The Canadian outside of the old tracks.
Trav, thinking out loud here, but if you have any time, you might try to squeeze in some indigenous, first people conversation. We are talking about Canada, eh?
Funny enough I actually am metis. not full blown status. I think a lot of people bringing that into a video like this would make it feel forced or preechy, if it fits I'd love to expand more (and do in the Fort Garry episode) and hope you love the whole series :)

Such a beautiful view indeed, and the food looked delicious, now I have to try Magic Spoon !
Fruity is the best flavour. Thank you as always my friend for watching :)

Canoeing at the lake is def on my bucketlist! do they tow or just give tickets? thanks for watching :)
So gorgeous!! Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much June, have you followed the rest of the series?
@@trav4oilers Yes I have watched 5 so far and they are all excellent! Looking forward to the next one today sometime. 🙂
@@juneewashko4196 can’t wait to hear what you think of the Bessborough episode :)

I love making them and sharing them with you my friend!

Love this series. Hope you decide to come south to the States and do railway hotels here. Lots of NHL cities…
I hope the series explodes, and i can finish the rest of Canada's railway hotels and then come stateside. Still loads more to do like the Empress, Princes of Wales, Prince Arthur, Chateau Laurier, Chateau Frontenac, and Queen Elizabeth ;)
You on now? I’ll give you my email and then delete if you are.
Ty Trav!
Thank you for always watching and supporting brother :)

Beautiful!

Morant's curve still sees the Rocky Mountaineer during the spring and summer.
It absolutely does BUT it's not a long distance passenger train. It doesn't make stops along the way or resemble much of The Canadian outside of the old tracks.
@@trav4oilers The single-level railcars it uses are ex-VIA and ex-CN daynighter coaches, a few of which saw service on the Canadian.
