The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

For more than a century, The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise has stood majestically on the shores of Canada’s Lake Louise, just a scenic two-hour drive from Calgary. A combination of astonishing Rocky Mountain scenery and unrivalled service allow the resort to offer both luxury and adventure, ranging from the serene to the extreme. Located in the heart of Banff National Park, and within a UNESCO world heritage site, the Canadian icon also holds a global reputation for progressive environmental stewardship.

Mirroring the 548 rooms and suites, the 36,000 square feet of meeting space strikes a perfect balance of historical elegance and modern functionality. Two ballrooms—the new Mount Temple and the restored 1912 Victoria—host groups of up to 700 and 650. In addition to the variety of breakout rooms, meeting planners can take advantage of the six levels of outdoor terraces that overlook the turquoise waters of Lake Louise. The Brewster Barn, located behind the Chateau, adds an ideal venue for authentically local country-western events.

Meeting delegates dive into a vast array of activities on-site, from spa treatments to shopping, world-class dining, and endless outdoor pursuits. Guided mountain heritage hikes, canoeing, white-water rafting, snowshoeing, and world-class skiing lead the list of possibilities, closely followed by championship golf nearby. More than anything, guests find lasting inspiration in the setting, made all the more memorable by Fairmont style and service. They leave with tales of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, wonderful photos, and an abiding appreciation for the Canadian wilderness.

FAIRMONT'S MEETINGS THAT MATTER PROGRAM
MAKES YOUR GATHERING COUNT

-New program offers groups the chance to give back-

TORONTO, July 17, 2008 - There is a simple way for groups to make an impactbook a meeting with Fairmont and support the charity of your choice. Responding to an increasing interest on the part of planners to not only mitigate their group's footprint, but also actively make a positive contribution, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts worldwide* is proud to offer the Meetings That Matter program. Meetings That Matter gives groups an opportunity to help out the community where they've enjoyed their stay, or join Fairmont in supporting international organizations that share a commitment to responsible tourism and environmental stewardship around the planet.

The new Meetings That Matter offer is available to planners booking a meeting for 2008 or 2009 that requires a minimum of 50 room nights. Ten percent of the room revenue** generated by the booking may be used as credit towards another meeting of equal or greater size and value or may be donated to a charitable organization. Planners can determine the charity of choice, whether it is a cause that resonates most strongly with attendees, a local organization in need, or one of Fairmont's corporate partners, which include the National Geographic Society and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. To learn more, please visit http://fairmont.com/meetingsthatmatter.

"Meeting planners and our group guests have responded enthusiastically to our initiatives to "green" our meeting offerings through our Eco-Meet program" notes Jeff Doane, Fairmont's Vice President, Hotel Sales. "We wanted to take our shared commitment to social responsibility one step further and create more a personalized opportunity for guests to make a meaningful contribution."

The Meetings That Matter offer is valid on all meetings booked and consumed in 2008 or 2009. The ten percent credit can be used for a meeting that would take place by December 2010, or the charitable donation will be made to the charity of choice within thirty days of final payment of the account. Planners must advise of the selection of charitable organization in advance, at the time the contract is signed. The initial meeting and the second meeting to which the ten percent would be credited must be held at the same hotel or resort. The offer is subject to hotel availability, is applicable towards new programs only and not valid for citywide bookings. Meetings That Matter cannot be combined with other special offers.
