The hype
Travelers adore the lobby bar and the pool, but often feel the standard rooms are tight for the price.
Fairmont Palliser
$150-260 / νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want the 'Grand Dame' experience of 1914 luxury connected directly to the Calgary Tower and convention center.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Historic Edwardian architecture that feels like a castle
- The Romanesque indoor pool is arguably the most beautiful in the city
- Direct connection to the Plus 15 Skywalk network (no winter coats needed)
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A stunning historic landmark where the lobby impresses more than the compact standard rooms, and the train tracks are literal neighbors.
Αξιολόγηση από @BrigidaBattistessa5107291: I felt like I was stepping back in time here. The pool area is my favorite spot to unwind after exploring downtown Calgary—it’s so peaceful. Definitely the most elegant stay in the city.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is the train noise really that bad?
Yes, for rear-facing rooms on lower floors. It is a busy freight line. Front-facing rooms on high floors are much quieter.
Is there a free breakfast?
No, breakfast is à la carte at Hawthorn Dining Room unless you book a package or stay on the Gold Floor (which includes lounge breakfast).
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
Yes, but as with many historic buildings, it can be a bit loud or finicky compared to modern central air.
Is the pool open year-round?
Yes, the heated indoor pool and hot tub are open daily and are a major perk.
Can I walk to the Calgary Tower?
Absolutely. It is practically next door, and you can walk there indoors via the Plus 15 skywalk.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, it is pet-friendly for a fee of ~$40 CAD per night.

Ask for a 'turndown service'—it's often available but not automatic in standard rooms.
