   Such a special afternoon - we had a table at the window overlooking Lake Louise and from the moment we sat down we received such great service and attention from Kate and her colleagues. The afternoon tea itself was lovely, we were offered more savouries if we wanted them, and nothing was rushed. This may be down to the time of year - I imagine July and August are super busy but somehow I imagine each diner is still made to feel special.

   We went for the afternoon High Tea, and it was a wonderful experience. There is no way you can beat the view of Lake Louise and the mountains from the window table that we had.  Everyone from the servers to the hostess were excellent.

   A great afternoon tea experience for any special occasion … overlooking Lake Louise would be a difficult backdrop to beat

   The lake view and the service were great. However, the afternoon tea, which I was most looking forward to, was very disappointing. The sandwiches had dry, stale bread, and the overall quality of the desserts was quite poor. I'm not sure it's worth the price of over 100 CAD per person.

   Service is always impeccable and the experience still feels quite special. The afternoon tea offering needs a refresh though. Scones and preserves are consistently amazing - sadly the sandwiches were dry, like they’d been sitting in the air for several hours, and some of the desserts were actually unpleasant. Would bring back the fruit salad to lighten up the meal.

   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
