Fairmont Palliser, Calgary

Our experience at the Fairmont Palliser left nothing for wanting...it was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. Our suite was gracious and inviting, with a bed and linens that felt like pure luxury. The in-room music station, complete with LPs, added a touch of nostalgia that set such a memorable tone for our stay.nnThe Gold Floor is simply the best. We love the private lounge, the peace, the view, the carefully chosen beverages, snacks, and delightful evening canapés. Having a breakfast buffet in the Gold Lounge is another fabulous perk that makes the experience feel even more special.nnthe location is right in the heart of Calgary and afforded us so many options for dining and shopping.nnMost of all, we cannot rave enough about the staff. Their attention to detail, genuine kindness, and thoughtful accommodations ensured our stay was everything we hoped for and more. We found ourselves looking forward to our interactions and seeing their smiling faces throughout the day. Everyone worked in sync to make us feel special and appreciated.nnWe leave very satisfied and very grateful. The Fairmont Palliser made our anniversary celebration unforgettable.

Lovely, historic hotel. A little disappointed at arrival as the front of the hotel is on a busy main road with no pull-in, and was jammed up with vehicles and taxis when I wanted valet parking. I was fortunate to slip in just as another car pulled away but I would say the front traffic is an issue. Easy check-in and happy to be upgraded to a Signature suite where we received a welcome drink & chocolates. Excellent service at the restaurant for a light breakfast and coffee. Online check-out did not work kept getting an error message so had to check-out at the front desk. We had wanted to stay and do high tea for my friend’s birthday on the Saturday but when I tried to book 2 days before arrival 3 days before tea date, I was disappointed to see it was fully booked.

We recently had our wedding here end of August- and it was absolutely spectacular in every way. I would also like to mention out of many Fairmont franchises throughout Canada, this location in Calgary has the best food, our guests could not stop going on about how amazing the food was at our wedding. The staff, the venue layout, the service, the FOOD-it was incredible. It is also so gorgeous inside, especially with the new renovations. I highly recommend staying here or planning an event, there are so many rooms to utilize through out the hotel. Nicole was incredible to work with, she always got back to me right away via email and phone calls and went above and beyond for us in every way possible. She also was so kind and caring the day of to help with nerves and accessing all of our different hotel rooms. I highly recommend staying here and enjoying this historic hotel downtown Calgary, or even hosting events- it's very special, with a superb staff, an opulent atmosphere and guaranteed fun times :

I loved most everything about the hotel, except the room was too hot and the TV didn't work. We asked for them to fix the issues and it didn't happen. We also had a very noisy room. It would be a good idea to offer guests earplugs. The traffic of a very busy city can be very loud especially if you have to open your window to cool the room down. We loved the Gold members guest's breakfast in the penthouse. That was awesome!nThe heated bathroom floor is an elegant touch. The bathtub is a bit slippery. After falling in a slick tub, I am very conscious of tubs. A bath mat being available would fix the issue. There are not enough outlets available by both sides of the bed.

We stayed at the Palliser on the Gold Floor Aug 22-25. The room had a large washroom and seating area. The bed was super comfy. The breakfast and dinner dishes were incredible. So fresh and so many choices. We ate at the Hawthorn and it was happy hour. We got 25 percent off the steak, burger and Brussel sprouts. My creamsicle cocktail was delicious!
