Fairmont Palliser

The Fairmont in Calgary was beautiful and well run. The room was very spacious and very well appointed and the location was excellent. We were able to walk to the Saddledome for the hockey game and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well. We were very pleased all around and would not hesitate to return to the Farmont Palliser!

From the moment you walk in the door of the Palliser, you feel the difference. It is a regal, well maintained building with a staff who are ready to assist. We were booked on the Fairmont Gold level which was wonderful. The staff was more than friendly. They were kind. All of the staff, from the housekeepers to the front desk/concierge. We appreciated how excited they all were to share their city and make recommendations of what to see and do. We truly felt that they cared. The breakfast and evening canapé service was always tasty. Of course, the room was clean, comfortable and beautiful. I know old buildings can get a bad rap for, well, being old. When an old building is cared for like the Palliser, it feels charming to us.

Wonderful service and location. Shout out to Beckham who bent over backwards to help us and make our stay and experience so good.

The room faced the train track with freight trains running several times an hour, at night. I seriously ended up in tears in the middle of the night. Make sure you look out your window when you check in and make sure you know if you can tolerate the noise as this is what you will be sleeping with. The toilet is placed so close to the shower door the seat is permanently angled so you can fit your leg in 😂

Booked delux room with view. The view is of a brick wall when this was questioned at front desk the attitude was we don’t book rooms with a view despite what our booking form said. Very unhelpful close to confrontational. Have stayed all over the world in quality hotels and never experienced this before. Sad end to great trip to Canada. Please beware when booking this hotel
