3. Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
Set in scenic Banff National Park, this AccorHotels resort impresses visitors with its gorgeous setting. Inside, visitors are greeted with accommodations outfitted with flat-screen TVs and coffee makers, among other amenities. Most recent guests suggest splurging for a lakeside suite, claiming the higher rate is well worth the additional space and enchanting views. In winter, guests can enjoy sleigh rides and ice skating; and in summer, visitors are invited to take advantage of horseback riding and whitewater rafting. When it comes to dining, guests have a wide selection of options ranging from regionally influenced dishes in the main dining room to Swiss- and German-inspired entrees at Walliser Stube. For a particularly memorable meal, previous visitors suggest dining at the hotel’s Lakeview Lounge, which affords gorgeous vistas of Victoria Glacier. Le Club AccorHotels members may redeem award nights or earn extra benefits like complimentary room upgrades for choosing to stay here.
4. Hôtel Quintessence
The Hôtel Quintessence hugs the shores of Lake Tremblant and sits in the heart of the quaint town of Mont-Tremblant (about 80 miles northwest of Montreal), providing guests with a quiet and peaceful setting. But what really gets recent visitors swooning is the intimate Restaurant La Quintessence, which dishes up mouthwatering seafood entrees, and Winebar & Cellar, which is home to nearly 4,000 bottles of wine. According to previous guests, the airy lakeside suites – equipped with Aveda bath products, cozy fireplaces and expansive balconies or terraces – are another selling point. Visitors also say you would be remiss to pass up a treatment at Spa Sans Sabots, which features revitalizing treatments, including massages. Should you crave more activity, Quintessence’s Q concierge can help facilitate a variety of outings, from skiing and dog sledding in winter to biking and horseback riding in summer.
