Coeur d'Alene (pronounced core-da-lane) is a lakefront resort community in one of the prettiest settings in the West. Located in northern Idaho, the region is defined by blue skies, sparkling water and pine-forested mountains.
With natural beauty and upscale appeal, Coeur d'Alene draws visitors from all over the world. They find a place of intriguing contrasts: Five-star amenities in a rugged setting, quiet getaways and exciting attractions, four-season beauty and recreation, and a number of interesting things to do.
Founded by fur trappers on the north shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, the community was built around a U.S. Army Fort, and later came to rely on mining and timber. Most recently, Coeur d'Alene gained a reputation as a world travel destination after the five-star Coeur d'Alene Resort opened in 1986.
