Happy Honeymoon

Great Hotel and Great Location. Keith Urban and Nicole were staying there at the same time, so can't be too bad, Eh?

Nice Hotel but Not Quite Luxurious

This hotel did a nice job with customer service and the public areas were very nice. Our room had nice touches but clearly was past due for some general maintenance. Little things like chunks of wood torn out of the door frame in the bathroom and pictures that weren't centered in the matte in the frame just didn't make it feel quite like the luxury we had hoped for. Stepping outside our room made the experience much better. Our kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. It was definitely worth what we paid through Hotels.com, but wouldn't recommend paying anywhere near rack rate for our room.

TIred, worn rooms

We had two rooms, both of which were in very poor shape - extensive mold in shower, worn carpets, shabby dustskirts on bed, etc. This was not up to Fairmont standards. We were extremely disappointed after spending a week in lovely rooms at the Fairmont Lake Louise.

Dated, tired hotel

This is a tired hotel in a beautiful building. Does not live up to Fairmont standards. Baths were dated and shower tiles moldy in our 2 rooms. Very disappointed.

Old World Elegance in the New West

The Fairmont Pallister exudes old world charm in the capital of the New West. The sumptuous lobby and the elegant rooms speak to a high level of service and pride in the property by the staff. Friendly, courteous staff in the heart of downtown Calgary with excellent access to resturaunts and the Calgary Tower.

Steve the bell hop

Steve met us as we pulled up on our motorcycle and was most helpful finding a place to park it as well as roads to travel in Canada. Great Guy. Hope this gets to him

Recommend Renovated Rooms

Old world property centrally located in downtown Calgary with a short hop, skip and a jump from wonderful restaurants and shopping. As with all old properties some rooms are better than others. Highly recommend renovated rooms on the 3rd floor. Excellent amenities and styling.

Great Weekend Getaway!

My daughter and I have been staying in Edmonton during the week for cancer treatments, but decided to take a weekend trip to Calgary. I found this glamorous hotel on hotels.com and couldn't believe the price. It turned out better than we ever imagined!

Outstanding hotel

The Fairmont is a beautiful, old elegant hotel and you feel like you are in Europe! Wondeful ambiance.

Renovated rooms very nice, others somewhat dated

Overall a good value, I would stay here again for what I paid. Feels like a grand old hotel, marble lobby with high ceilings etc. I stayed for 2 nights within a week in different rooms. In one case I stayed in an unrenovated room which was a little dated - red carped that looked a little worn and ugly curtains. But it was very clean and comfortable. The second night I stayed in one of the renovated rooms (apparently only the 2nd & 3rd floor have been renovated). This was more updated - flat panel TV, new carpet, nicer shower. I liked this room more. Not a lot going on in downtown Calgary, so you'll be disappointed if you expect to be in the center of the action being downtown.
