Our sustainable engagements

Our parkade is equipped with electric vehicle charging stations and have committed to switching all property fleets to energy efficient & electric vehicles during lifecycle replacements.

We continuously upgrade products and infrastructure to enhance guest experience and reduce environmental impact. Nearly all lighting is energy-efficient, with sensor-activated fixtures, and guest rooms feature low-flow plumbing to conserve glacier water.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise offers some of the world’s cleanest drinking water, sourced from Victoria Glacier. The hotel’s on-site treatment plant purifies lake water through advanced filtration and UV lights, providing pristine water for guests, with refill stations available.

Since 2003, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise’s Renewable Energy Certificate has supplied 5.5 million kWh of energy. As energy use decreases, renewable coverage grows, reaching 52% of the hotel’s supply in 2023.
