The main great room/lobby of this old historic hotel is pretty much worth it all. Spectacular views and a comfy relaxing atmosphere. The room itself was meh. But it is historic so that’s part of the deal. The point is to spend your evenings down in the great room that is equipped with many chairs, sofas and tables for reading, playing cards, having a drink and looking out at the amazing scenery. There is a good restaurant right off the lobby and also a really nice bar where you can have lunch, dinner or a snack. There is a snack/gift shop open too 9pm where they will make you a speciality coffee. It’s way in the back of the shop so look for it or ask.

Beatifully maintained building but old with limited modern conveniences. Room noisy, drafty, no hair dryer, needs a little more care. Staff and food services great. Location fantastic, building iconic, view from lounge spectacular.

Prince of Wales Hotel/Watertown downtown-Charming!
Loved this hotel!!! Felt like I went back in time, but with great updated bathroom's and our bed was very comfy. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains and the food was delicious. The town is a short hike away and it is so charming! Would definitely go back!!!

Waterton is an amazing place to visit. The Prince of Wales hotel is a beauty to see as well. BUT DO NOT STAY THE NIGHT. The rooms are not updated to the price they are listed at, the rooms are dark and cramped, the bathrooms do not have vents so they smell, and the beds actually feel like the same beds used in the 1920s. Save yourself and your back and just find somewhere else to sleep.

The Prince of Whales Hotel is close to town but separate. The hotel staff was great, the story of the history of the hotel was amazing. The views were beautiful and hiking was wonderful in the area. It is quite windy which we weren’t expecting but that was part of the experience of a hotel on a bluff. The rooms were quaint and quiet.
