    This was our first time trying out the afternoon tea service at the Chateau Lake Louise and I must say we were very pleasantly surprised at the service standards even compared to other Fairmont Hotels in the Banff Region, Our Host Chloe was welcoming and had our coats taken care of immediately and found us seating with a view of the lake, We also were sparkled by our server Emily who took great care of us, We had mentioned to her that we really loved the Deviled Eggs and the Chicken Croissant and she made a conscious effort to bring us some extras so that we may savour our favorite parts of the afternoon tea. Finally we had a chance to talk with Kate who was the Tea sommelier, she had heard from our server that we enjoy tea and have dined at the Banff Springs hotel before so came around to say hello ask about our experience and also give us a little insight to some exciting new changes and additions coming later this year. The entire experience left us craving for more and we cannot emphasize how much we look forward to coming back and having Emily as our server again! We have definitely found our favorite service staff at CLL.

    A lovely Mother’s Day afternoon tea in wonderful surroundings. The views are stunning especially as we were lucky enough to see the lake covered in snow and the skies were clear blue with warm sunshine, just perfect a day to remember

    The afternoon tea at the Fairmont Lake Louise in the Fairview Room was a delightful way to celebrate my moms birthday. Our server Ross was very knowledgeable, personable and attentive to detail. Would recommend to anyone who wants a little treat and to get a taste of luxury.

    Server didn’t fill the champagne glass all the way up, and spilled on the glass and table while pouring and didn’t clean it up. It took over 30m for the tower to come out (I was there for afternoon tea), and over 50m for the tea to come out, and my water glass wasn’t refilled until 1hr of me sitting there. After I was done, it took 20m to get my check since not a single server was around. The bread was stale, but the scones and desserts were delicious. I was so excited for this experience and was let down. I would not book it again, especially for that price.
