A stay at the Post Hotel & Spa is part of the romance of the Canadian Rockies, which is why it’s a great choice for your honeymoon trip to Lake Louise. The dramatic backdrop of the mountains, the spirit of the original hand-built log house, and the luxury and comfort of a mountain lodge, all combine to create a unique experience, whether you travel in the winter for the skiing or in summer for mountain adventures.
The location off the Trans Canada Highway within Banff National Park is secluded and private, but it’s just a two hour drive to the bustling city of Calgary. The Post is also a famous fine dining destination, and has a legendary wine cellar. Due to its history, it combines the best of the traditions and hospitality of the Swiss Alps and the Rockies, giving it a unique place in the hearts of visitors.
The rooms and suites face the mountains or the gardens, and come with working fieldstone fireplaces that add another cozy touch to the decor. Guests who want more privacy can book one of the storybook cabins or the Watson Lodge. The themes of comfort and luxury are echoed throughout the property with mountain decor, fresh flowers and music.
The Post is a culinary destination as well and has been awarded the Best Food in the Americas title by Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List. The wine cellar with over 2300 selections is likewise widely recognized. The Temple Mountain Spa with its steam rooms, plunge pools and an indoor pool and whirlpool is a also destination in its own right.
The Post Hotel & Spa is part of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux hotel group, with all of the 5Cs necessary for that distinction, namely charm, courtesy, cuisine, character and calm. These all add up to a resort to which guests return year after year, and you too may decide to come back for your anniversaries.
