Reawaken.
Restore.
Reconnect.
Where glacier-fed water meets thoughtful design, wellness in Lake Louise is more than a treatment—it’s a full-body reset in the Canadian Rockies.
Introducing
BASIN Glacial Waters
A thermal bathing experience like no other is stirring within the Canadian Rockies.
BASIN Glacial Waters is the newest wellness sanctuary at Lake Louise — an immersive, multi-sensory thermal bathing experience designed to harmonize the elements of water, heat, and rest.
What is BASIN?
BASIN Glacial Waters is an immersive thermal bathing experience at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. It guides you through intentional cycles of heat, cold, rest, and reflection—indoors and out—framed by Rockies views and glacial waters.
Who is BASIN for?
BASIN is exclusively available to overnight guests of Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Reservations are required, and access is valid only during your hotel stay dates.
Design & Sense of Place
Created with AD100 architect Matteo Thun, BASIN uses natural materials and a low-profile, earth-sheltered approach to echo the landscape and its glacier-fed shoreline—marrying ecological sensitivity with quiet luxury.
What You’ll Experience
Move at your own pace through steam and sauna rituals (including multi-sensory Aufguss sessions), warm vitality pools, cool submersion, and calm lounges—then re-emerge refreshed.
Signature Features:
- Thermal Circuitry: Finnish and Bio saunas, aromatherapy steam rooms, and an Aufguss Sauna with guided rituals.
- Hydrotherapy Journeys: Hydro pool, Kneipp walk, vitality pool, cold plunge, and waterfall feature pool.
- Quiet Spaces: Silent Salt Relax Room and Hot Stone Massage Room for deeper restoration.
- Curated Wellness Trails: Cleansing, Stillness, Presence, Mother Nurture and Deep Waters
