Overview
Deer Lodge is a heritage property with deep roots in Lake Louise history, originally built in 1921 as a tea house for hikers exploring the trails around Lake Louise. Now operated by Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts (CRMR), this 73-room lodge sits just a two-minute walk from the shores of Lake Louise itself. The lodge deliberately foregoes televisions in guest rooms to preserve a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere, and the rooftop hot tub with its panoramic mountain views is a signature highlight. Note that the property has been temporarily closed for renovations; check directly for reopening updates.
