The Prince of Wales is one of the grand historic lodges that still exist and whisk you away to a simpler time. If you are looking at staying in a historic property this is the place for you. The Prince of Wales compliments the park perfectly.

Great view as advertised, staff is great, but hotel is super dated. If there is a next time, we’d spend nights at a newer facility and just go to this hotel for the views and tea/coffee/food. Town is very small and hotel is easily accessible from anywhere in town.

Best part of stay was the history and traditional service. Room had limited comforts (rough towels and few electrical outlets, thin walls) & conveniences though bath and bedding updates appreciated. Food, service and of course the views were pleasurable.

The Prince of Wales hotel has a older rustic aura and is well maintained and well staffed with good food. It does show its age in some ways, but that is not a detriment to its charm.

The Prince of Wales Hotel has real character more than just a place to stay, it feels like a piece of history. The rooms are delightfully old-school, with wooden beams and a warm, welcoming charm that you just don’t get from modern hotels. The restaurant and bar were impressive with great views of the lake. The atmosphere is cosy, classic and the overall vibe. Highly recommend for atleast once in a lifetime experience.

It’s a beautiful hotel. There is a history lesson of the hotel by Frank or was it Blake I’m really bad with names. Breakfast in the morning was perfect and a smoky old-fashioned cocktail bite that lovely window and enjoying the view was great. Turn off your phone or go for a good lovely hike in the park. Highly recommended.
