According to Travel and Leisure, this hotel/spa resort is ranked as Canada’s top hotel. It also has at total of 93 rooms, 5 houses, 2 restaurants, and 2 bars. The hotel also has been featured in many travel magazines and has won a few awards, including the Wine Spectator’s “Grand Award.”
The hotel was built in 1942 as the Lake Louise Ski Lodge. A British airline manufacturer, Sir Norman Watson, originally owned it. In 1958, the name of the place was changed to the Post Hotel and Spa.
