Fairmont Hotel Macdonald

What a beautiful place to stay. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, and the bed was super comfy. The lounge was busy and the bartender was awesome. Drinks were great, with a large selection. If you haven't stayed here, you should!

Truly a great experience staying at the Hotel Macdonald. From the valet parking to check out everything went smooth. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, great amenities, and their food & drinks at the lobby bar were tremendous! You get what you pay for here!

Castle in the River Valley to indulge yourself in with amazing views, rooms, food and service.nnStayed for 3 nights this trip, and was upgraded to a deluxe king room with a view of the River valley, along with valet parking. Rooms have been recently renovated with the distinctive Fairmont touch of opulence and elegance. Comfy as always, and the evening turn down service is always appreciated. Can’t beat the location for downtown.nnThe valet team was especially top notch. Car was always available with 5-10 minutes, and upon check out, the gentleman popped in to help me with my bags just as I got to the counter to check out.nnWe had some drinks and snacks at the Confederation Lounge and that was just so lovely.

Dec 1 high tea. First of all, the tables were set elegantly, the server was fantastic, the tea was very delightful and tasty. I was really disappointed in the tray of high tea goodies. The finger sandwiches not very tasty, a mini crescent with a dab of egg salad and a mini bun with a seafood ??. I found the sweets to be dry and tasteless. The two types of scones were ok but then scones are usually dry. Maybe some improvement can be made in the kitchen. I expected better for the cost of the sitting.

The afternoon tea was great. The food was tasty and they made amazing substitutions for allergies. The tea selection was sufficient and the staff was awesome.nThe only thing that they didn’t have was - clotted cream, for a service this expensive, there should be clotted cream served with the scones which were yum!.nWhen asked the server said that if real clotted cream was served the price would be even higher, I don’t think that is necessarily true or right but the cream served was okay too.nOverall the ambience , the food and the service made it an enjoyable experience. Would totally do it again.
