There's a good chance that no hotel—anywhere—has a more dramatic view out its back door. Terraces and lawns reach to the famous aquamarine lake, backed by the Victoria Glacier. Guest rooms have neocolonial furnishings, and some have terraces. The hotel began as a wooden chalet in 1890 but was largely destroyed by fire in 1924. It was soon rebuilt into the present grand stone-facade structure. The many dining choices range from family dining in the Brasserie to night-on-the-town elegance in the Fairview Dining Room (jacket required for dinner in summer).
