FAIRMONT CHÂTEAU LAKE LOUISE
This hulking, 539-room hotel commands one of Canada's knockout locations: on the edge of the Rockies' most famous lake, with a horizon filled by spiky summits. In winter, you can even walk out of the door, strap on your skates and glide straight out onto the ice. And while the building looks curiously incongruous in this setting - more Las Vegas casino than mountain hotel-there's no denying the luxury level or the grandstand mountain view from the rooms. There are several restaurants to choose from, as well as an impressive spa, and staff can arrange activities ranging from canoeing to horseback treks. A new wellness centre is also in the works. Rooms from around £210 per night, excluding breakfast; fairmont.com/lake-louise
KANANASKIS MOUNTAIN LODGE
A part of the Marriott's upmarket Autograph Collection, this is as close as the Rockies gets to a boutique resort. There is an undeniably retro, 1970s-inspired feel to the design, which seems more metropolitan-modern than mountain resort, and you're certainly getting a unique setting for your money. It's located way out in the sticks of Kananaskis Country, about an hour's drive from Canmore; as such, there is ample opportunity for outdoor adventures nearby. Alternatively, simply head over to the hotel's Nordic Spa, explore the indoor waterpark or hit a few holes on the golf course. Rooms from around £299 per night, excluding breakfast; marriott.com
