Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The M Club Lounge is widely considered one of the best in Canada (24/7 access for elites)
- ONE18 EMPIRE isn't just a hotel bar; it's a legitimate whiskey destination with over 100 varieties
- Unbeatable location connected to the TELUS Convention Centre and Glenbow Museum
Hurtig oversigt: It’s a polished corporate machine that delivers on comfort but forces you to battle construction noise and steep parking fees.
Anmeldt af @tainatheano: I needed a solo reset, and this staycation was it. The city views from my bed were magical at night, and having access to the M Club for snacks made me feel so pampered. Honestly, just ordering a cocktail and chilling by the fire was the highlight.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'onsite' self-parking is actually the public convention center lot, and it fills up during events.
💡The elevators can be slow during peak convention check-out times.
💡You can hear the C-Train announcements from some lower north-facing rooms.
💡The M Club has a 'hydration station' with sparkling water on tap—bring your own bottle to fill up.
💡The hotel was built in 1973 but the 2015 renovation was substantial; it doesn't feel old, just 'solid'.
