“Our stay at the Post Hotel & Spa was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the heart of Lake Louise, the setting feels like a quiet alpine postcard—peaceful, scenic, and effortlessly elegant. I had actually photographed a wedding here years ago, and from that moment knew I had to come back and experience it for myself. We chose it to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary, and it could not have been more perfect. Dinner in the dining room was a highlight. The Deep Sea Scallops were unforgettable—perfectly prepared and bursting with flavour. The Alberta Wagyu was rich and beautifully executed, while the Truffle Cavatelli was indulgent and deeply satisfying. The wine expertise is truly world-class, with thoughtful pairings that elevate every course. What made the evening even more special was the live piano—classic, elegant, and the perfect backdrop to an already memorable meal. Back in the room, unwinding beside a real wood-burning fireplace added a cozy, timeless touch to the experience. The spa and wellness facilities are equally impressive. The pool, whirlpool, and sauna are perfect after a day exploring the Rockies—quiet, well-kept, and genuinely rejuvenating. Service throughout was warm, polished, and attentive without ever feeling overdone. This is more than just a hotel—it’s a full experience. We’ll absolutely be back.”

“Had a wonderful stay here. The hotel feels cozy yet luxurious, peaceful mountain atmosphere. We really appreciated that they offer dog-friendly rooms, which made travelling with our pup so much easier. The staff were warm and accommodating, and everything was very clean and well equipped. Loved that the bath products provided were from L’Occitane — such a nice touch. The in-room dining was also a great option for us since we couldn’t leave our dog alone. The surroundings were beautiful and well kept, and hearing the river while going for walks was incredibly relaxing. Also very convenient being only about 10 minutes from Lake Louise. They also offer spa services for the guests. Would definitely stay again!”
