Built in 1927, this historical hotel sits high on a bluff overlooking the Waterton Village.  One of 2 National Historic sites in the Park, the Prince of Wales was built to lure tourists north of the border via the Great Northern Railway.  One of the largest all-wood buildings in Alberta, it has survived wind, fire and even the Depression of the 1930's to become a cultural landmark known by photograph alone throughout the world. 

From its impressive lobby, you can look through wall-to-ceiling windows for a breathtaking view of Upper Waterton Lake and beyond to Goat Haunt in Glacier National Park, Montana.  The Prince of Wales hotel is not only an architectural landmark; it has become a well-known sentinel that welcomes visitors into the Village of Waterton.
