I think the title tells you pretty much what I thought about Hotel Arts. But for the sake of fairness, I should explain this a little more. The good: Hotel Arts is well (but not perfectly) located. You can walk to the good parts of Calgary's downtown (which are few and far between but that's another story). As another reviewer... more

I stayed here with my wife at the beginning of an Albertan road trip. here's the thing: it's kind of a try-hard version of a boutique hotel. trying to be urban and sleek. Just ends up feeling cold and unfriendly. I agree with other reviewers, the views are the pits. Service was just mediocre. I think next time I'll go... more

We had 4 rooms and Sheraton was full. We booked with Arts and all 4 guests were impressed and happy. The restaurant was reported good as well. The only problem reported was that the clocks in the room could not be changed for alarms and time and it took three people to finally get it fixed and replaced. The entire... more

From the Valet guys out front to the room attendants, this team of staff are incredible. Its not very often that you get good service these days, however, I saw passion in what these people do on a daily basis. They really looked like they loved what they do. Food was amazing in Raw Bar, it was a great place... more

We came for the Stampede, we are from the United States, were extremely surprised and VERY delighted with the Hotel, especially the staff, it matches very highly with other Luxury Hotels we have found around the world. It is very unique with it's setup, the Raw Bar is something to die for. Would very highly recommend to all our friends... more

I was travelling on business and was lucky enough to stay at the Hotel Arts. Everyone was so friendly, attentive and professional. Right from the start, the valet who parked my car was very welcoming and he made me feel like a VIP! The Front Desk staff were courteous and very knowledgable, and the check in process was smooth and... more

I stayed at Hotel Arts with my husband on a leisure trip to Calgary. We only stayed for 1 night but if I had my way we would have stayed for much longer. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Calgary. The staff are friendly and very professional and the hotel is beautiful! The beds are like... more

Like an oasis in the desert, Hotel Arts is a touch of class and elegance in the hustle, bustle rough and tumble town of Calgary. All the staff from the doorman to check-in staff to restaurant service are top notch professionals and obviously all well trained to ensure the optimal customer experience. The rooms are modern, roomy and comfortable with... more

I would avoid this hotel for business. Room TV didn't work when I arrived (it was fixed), internet was down (fixed later in the night) but killer was an inoperable air conditioner that made the room intolerable. maintenance guy said "all rooms on floor two have this problem". well, then don't use them! no other room at hotel was available,... more
