Honeymoon In The World's Most Photographed Hotel
10/04/2007 09:10 a.m.
You would automatically assume that the world's most photographed Hotel would be one of the megaresorts in Las Vegas, or perhaps one of such landmarks as the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, the Ritz in Paris, the Beverly Hills Hotel, or the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Actually that title belongs to the Prince of Wales Hotel located a couple of hundred miles from the nearest airport in a completely isolated and naturally magnificent and breath taking location, Waterton Park in the extreme southwestern corner of the Canadian province of Alberta where it touches British Columbia and Montana. Your travel agent can assist you in enjoying a memorable honeymoon in this completely enchanted location.
Indeed, Waterton Park is part of Waterton-Glacier Peace Park which stretches across the international boundary. The Prince of Wales Hotel is set high on a promintory against the dramatic backdrop of the Canadian Rockies overlooking the crystal blue Waterton Lake and the resort town of Waterton, making it an irresistable target for shutterbugs.
This hotel, named after Prince Edward, offers a traditional British atmosphere complete with afternoon tea in an architectural design which combines the best of "Victorian Frontier" design. The design includes such unique characteristics as soaring roofs, gables and balconies that set this hotel apart from any other and give the Prince of Wales Hotel a romantic alpine chalet feel. The overwhelmingly romantic appeal of this awe inspiring location has made it The Prince of Wales Hotel a favorite for honeymooners for nearly a century, and your travel agent can show you how you can enjoy your honeymoon in this one of a kind hotel.
The rooms in the Prince of Wales Hotel offer a fairy tale ambiance with dark stained, high paneled wainscotting and plush upholstered chairs. The Hotel's suites come with King sized beds and are the favorite for honeymooners. True to form, the bathrooms in the suites at the Prince of Wales Hotel have European-style tubs with wrap around curtains and a vintage wash basin.
Beginning in 1927 the Great Northern Railway, proprietors of the Prince of Wales Hotel, offered a special excursion which was designed for the "affluent tourist," as one week's travel and accommodation could cost more than $1,000, a sum which exceeded a full year's factory worker's salary in those days! Honeymooners will be happy to learn from their travel agents that the Prince of Wales Hotel is far more affordable today, and the glories of the great Rocky Mountains and the clarity and brilliance of Waterton Lake is the same now as it was nearly a century ago.
