What Honeymooners Love Above Fairmont Palliser

Summary of Verified Guests at Fairmont Palliser

Honeymooners and romantic travelers appreciated the classic heritage of the Canadian Pacific hotel, enjoying its terrific service and elegant dining options. The beautiful architecture of the old hotel in the heart of Calgary, along with its stunning rooms, were also praised. Many enjoyed the special touches by the staff, particularly Yana on the front desk, who arranged for a special surprise dessert to be in the room. Upgrading to the Fairmont Gold was highly recommended for its beautiful rooms and access to delicious food and beverages. The penthouse upgrade, complete with a hot tub, was seen as the cherry on top, and the cozy atmosphere enhanced by a winter storm was loved by many.

Downtown Calgary

A classic hotel in the finest of the heritage Canadian Pacific tradition. Terrific service, very professional and attentive. The elegant dining room and bar add to the atmosphere and the food was first rate. Great accommodation at a great price.

Wonderful stay

Second time staying here. The experience was perfect. Winter storm made it feel even cosier. Love the decor in the room. Sheets were wonderful. Bed a little hard, but okay. Spacious room. Had everything we needed, even a bottle opener. Appreciated the 1200 check out. Would definitely stay again.
