Perched atop a scenic bluff, the Prince of Wales Hotel boasts breathtaking views of the turquoise lake and charming town of Waterton below. Built-in 1927, the hotel's architecture stuns with soaring roofs, gables, and inviting balconies, creating a romantic, alpine atmosphere. This unique charm sets the Prince of Wales apart from ordinary lodging.

Choose from 86 beautifully appointed rooms, all designed for your comfort after a day of exploring the park's wonders. Indulge in a quintessential Canadian tradition with Afternoon Tea, a delightful experience served in the elegant Royal Stewart Dining Room.
