Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Unveils BASIN Glacial Waters

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a majestic hotel nestled in the stunning Canadian Rockies, is set to launch a groundbreaking thermal bathing facility named BASIN Glacial Waters in summer 2025. This eagerly anticipated space promises to transform the wellness experience amidst breathtaking alpine landscapes.

A Fusion of Nature and Wellness

The BASIN Glacial Waters facility is designed as an indoor-outdoor thermal bathing experience, harmoniously blending luxury with the natural allure of Lake Louise. The idea behind BASIN stemmed from the unique characteristics of the locale, which features glacial waters directly sourced from the lake itself. Visitors can expect a holistic journey that emphasizes self-reflection, renewal, and vitality in an environment that deeply respects its surroundings.

At the heart of the facility is a commitment to thermotherapy—an ancient practice that utilizes variations in water temperature to rejuvenate both mind and body. The space, designed by acclaimed architect Matteo Thun, is crafted with a minimalistic aesthetic that enchants with organic textures and views of the striking landscapes. This will not only mark a significant advancement for wellness in the region, but will also set a new standard for thermal spa luxury on a global scale.

A Unique Wellness Experience

According to Emlyn Brown, Senior Vice President of Wellbeing, Strategy, Design & Development at Accor Group, BASIN Glacial Waters is anticipated to be the most exciting wellness opening of 2025. The facility will be characterized by stunning vistas of Lake Louise and its surrounding peaks visible from various points, enhanced through visionary architecture and exclusive thermal bathing features.

Guests will first enter a calming, low-lit passageway lined with dramatic arched windows, which will draw in natural light. The design intentionally combines moments of individual reflection with spaces for relaxation, guiding visitors through a series of hydrotherapy experiences. Common features will include:

• - Saunas: A choice of Finnish and Bio Saunas offering higher or lower humidity levels, along with a distinctive Aufguss Sauna that will become a signature experience.
• - Steam Rooms: Traditional steam rooms to complement the thermal circuit.
• - Infinity Pool: An infinity-edge pool that seamlessly flows to an outdoor deck, maintaining unobstructed views of the majestic landscapes.
• - Temperature Pools: Varying-temperature pools including a circular reflexology pool and a waterfall feature pool.
• - Cold Therapy: An invigorating ice-temperature plunge and a cold bucket drop to energize the body post-bathing.
• - Relaxation Areas: The Silent Salt Relax room designed with a Himalayan salt wall for ionization and meditation; the Hot Stone room invites deeper relaxation with heated stone beds.

Elevating the Guest Experience

General Manager Tracy Lowe notes the significance of introducing this facility as a means to elevate the overall resort experience at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, making it a destination for wellness seekers. Guests will initially have exclusive access to BASIN Glacial Waters, as daily passes become available for non-hotel guests later on.
