Prince of Wales Hotel 3

Waterton Lakes National Park

As you can tell it is not yet open for the season... reminds me of the movie, 'The Shining'! Opened in 1927 and located in Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, the Prince of Wales Hotel is one of the most photographed hotels in North America. A dramatic curtain of the Canadian Rockies surrounds this stately hotel set high on a bluff overlooking Waterton Lake and the town of Waterton. As part of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, this idyllic location just north of the Canadian border gives the hotel an international flavor. This 86-room hotel, named after Prince Edward, offers a traditional British atmosphere complete with afternoon tea. Its romantic appeal has made it a favorite for honeymooners for more the half a century.

Gorgeous shot Gary. Looks like a perfect place to stay. PS - also reminded me of The Shining when I first saw the thumbnail! Sandy

Another terrific shot. Regarding 'The Shining' the exteriors were shot at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, outside Portland, OR. (Just a bit of trivia. :)
