The imposing Prince of Wales Hotel was built in 1927 by the Great Northern Railway as an Alpine chalet. The hotel is known for its rustic Alpine chalet style with high, peaked roofs and ornate balconies. At the time of its construction, it was intended to attract American tourists to Canada during Prohibition and to serve as part of the Railway Hotel chain.
