I recently stayed at the Fairmont with my fiance, and we had such a wonderful time. The staff was very nice and helpful, the hotel was so beautiful, and the overall experience was one to remember. We stayed on the Gold Floor which was so luxurious, our rooms were so comfortable and clean, and the pool and spa area was... More

Stayed here on the Fairmont Gold Floor - entitles you to breakfast and light appetizers (actually can serve as dinner) on the Penthouse floor. Very nice old hotel, very classy. Treat yourself well, and skip the modern franchise places nearby. The Fairmont is right next to the Calgary Tower. Murietta's Restaurant is a block away. Many places to visit for... More

We arrived here direct from Australia via LA pretty tired to find our agents supplier had made a mistake and we weren't booked in for the first night. Desk could not have been more helpful. We would have to change rooms though unless we upgraded, which we decided to do. That was to the Club Level with access to lounge... More

The fairmont was exceptional, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very nice and the bed was like a cloud. Unfortunately there was no view from our room. I cannot fault the fairmont as we had a very nice experience. This was part of Rocky Mountaineer experience. Calgary is a ghost town after 5pm on a Friday afternoon.... More

We recently stayed at this hotel which we chose because of the central location. The lobby is beautiful and the history of the hotel is interesting. Our room was very clean. Our beds were very comfortable with loads of pillows. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Our daughter lost a very valuable (to her) doll while we were there. The... More

When choosing to stay at any historic hotels, I know I can count on the charm of its public areas, filled with historic memorabilia throughout the hotel. Fairmont Palliser's lobby is truly delightful and well maintained! Service staff that I encountered were professional, courteous and efficient too. I enjoyed my one night stay, and took full advantage of the health... More

Room was clean, bed was comfortable, bathroom was ok. Room size was a bit on the small side but decent nonetheless. We had a room with the busy railroad tracks right in our window so we got woken up every night once or twice. Didn't like that you had to pay for Wifi and local calls. Overall hotel is quite... More

This is a decent hotel to stay in Calgary. Beautiful building and classic decor. The rooms themselves were good size and very comfortable bed. Main let down was housekeeping. We left a tip which was responded to by a nice thank you note, but the room was not properly cleaned. Aside from that let down nice place to stay.

A lovely hotel, well appointed and with very comfortable bedding (and with a sumptuous lobby!). We were upgraded to a suite with a good sized sitting room. Dont make a mistake and drink the EXPENSIVE bottled water.

Beautiful lobby! We stayed two nights in a junior suite, a good sized sitting room and bedroom and a tiny bathroom. You had to sit sideways on the loo as there wasn't enough legroom, or knee room to sit properly. Overpriced drinks and snacks in minibar. $8 CDN for a bottle of Evian!!!! The decor was Fairmonts dull and un... More
