This luxury hotel, opened in 1927, wouldn’t look out of place at a European ski resort and was designed to incorporate elements of rustic and Swiss chalet-style architecture. A National Historic Site of Canada since 1992, it was originally named after the then Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII of England), to tempt him to stay here on a Canadian tour. However the Prince – who abdicated in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson – chose to stay at a ranch nearby instead.
