Having been all over the world, yet never to Edmonton, I went with no prior expectations of the city or the hotel. I'm a big fan of Fairmont in general, with their fierce preservation of history in many great, old hotels. The "Hotel Mac" is prime evidence of this - a gorgeous old grand dame perched on a hill overlooking... More

Beautiful views of the river valley and the food is awesome. Sunday brunch is very highly recommended, even at $50/head it is well worth it. Rooms were comfortable and we enjoyed hanging out relaxing reading the paper, drinking coffee or wine. We stayed 2 nights and I could have kicked back for a few more. The pool and steam room... More

Stayed at the Hotel MacDonald on business. It is a beautiful old hotel in a great location in downtown The hotel is starting to show its age a bit though and could stand for a bit of an upgrade. I arrived at the hotel very late at night. They had apparently given away all the rooms at the level I... More

We stayed at the Hotel Macdonald because Edmonton doesn't have a whole lot to offer to begin with and it's supposed to be one of the only nice hotels in the city. We stayed in the Lois Hole suite.. which was kind of creepy because there's pictures of her all over the walls. The decor is dull, dated and dry.... More

I've stayed in most of the downtown hotels in Edmonton, and the Mac (as it is affectionately known) is one of my favourites, although somewhat pricey for this market. It is well-located downtown in one of the historic Chateau-style buildings to be found across Canada. The interior decor is traditional, conservative, somewhat nostalgic, and could use a bit of an...

My wife and I stayed here in Jan for a small staycation. We booked ahead and got 25% off our room so went with a Grand King with a view. It was a nice room with a large sitting area with a couch and a good view of the river valley. We had friends up for drinks and it was... More

My husband and I were visiting good friends in Edmonton over New Year's and after taking a long walk needed some replenishment so our friends suggested the Hotel Macdonald. We sat in the lounge, watching the fire in the beautiful old fireplace, and overlooking the river valley. I had a delicious salad with a very good glass of red wine.... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Mac on New Years Eve to celebrate our anniversary. We were sent an email ahead of time allowing us to check-in. This worked quite well as it only took a few moments to get us our room keys. We found all of the staff to be genuinely friendly and courteous. I appreciated... More

Beautiful historic hotel in downtown Edmonton. Very nice foyer. Rooms are small but very well decorated. Air conditioner didn't work that well and the room was quite warm throughout the night. Very clean hotel. More
