Overview of The Prince of Wales Hotel

There is a good reason why the Prince of Wales Hotel in Canada is one of the most photographed hotels in the world. This stately hotel is located high on a bluff overlooking Waterton Lake and the town of Waterton, Alberta. Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada is a sister park to Glacier National Park in northwestern Montana.

Constructed in 1927 by the Great Northern Railway, the Prince of Wales Hotel has striking architectural designs such as soaring roofs, gables, and balconies. It is these design intricacies that attract visitors from all over and are what set the Prince of Wales hotel apart from other "typical" lodging accommodations.
