A royal choice for elegant, stunning luxury in downtown Calgary
Stay in the lap of luxury at the gorgeous Fairmont Palliser, the hotel of choice for royalty, celebrities and heads of state visiting Calgary. This heritage building is in the heart of the city, within walking distance of many of the most popular arts and culture venues, restaurants, and boutiques. Within the hotel, find superb amenities like a state-of-the-art health club and the equally impressive business center. Save time for a meal at the Rimrock, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner that will not disappoint (reservations highly recommended).
Highlights
  • Baby-sitting arrangements available
  • Top choice for corporate events in Calgary
  • Live jazz in the Oak Room
Rooms
All guest rooms and suites in the Fairmont Palliser are stunning with traditional decor and the best amenities. Plush bathrobes, down duvets and operable windows are standard in every room. Upgraded amenities and additional space are available with suites. Reserve the heritage suite for a particularly beautiful space. But for true pampering and utter indulgence, reserve the royal suite on the Gold Floor where Queen Elizabeth II stayed in 1990, or the Fairmont gold room, a hotel within a hotel. Internet access is available throughout the Fairmont Palliser (fees apply in some cases).
Features
Infused with elegance, the Fairmont Palliser is the perfect choice for business and leisure travelers looking for a distinctive hotel in the city center of Calgary. Only the finest ingredients are used in the dishes at the Rimrock, where culinary excellence is the standard. Unwind with friends and colleagues in the classy Oak Room, the only venue in the city offering live jazz. Stay fit in style with exclusive access to the Boulevard Club, the on-site fitness center and spa. There is a reason that the Fairmont Palliser is one of the top choices in Calgary for corporate events. Host a memorable meeting in one of the grand conference rooms and let the hotel staff take care of all the important details.

The location was great. The staff

The location was great. The staff ever so helpful as this was our first time visit to Calgary and were informative about places to visit, restaurants nearby and having documentation ready for us to pick up re cruising. The only down side was no view from our hotel window but this was minor considering the amount of time spent in the room.

good after all

i went to visit a friend who lives in Calgary, the hotel location is perfect, i didn't like the fitness club , it's so gloomy and the spa is small. the beds are very comfortable! my room was small and didn't have a good view. the view was ugly. the service is good. food is good. in many previous i have taken the hotel was more of what i expect . but this one wasn't as i expected. i very much loved the fairmount at Banff. that one was amazing and i wish i stayed there. i love big hotels and if so resorts. very elegant with space and bright rooms.

A good night's Sleep

Even though the hotel was very busy it was really quiet in our room. You have to pay for parking separately-pricey because you are downtown.

Historic in Calgary

The Fairmont Palliser is simply stunning. This is the third hotel I've tried during my monthly trip to Calgary. I won't stay anywhere else now. The lobby is gorgeous, the rooms while a bit small were quaint and charming. The workout room was just fine with 3 treadmills, 3 ellipticals, a selection of free weights and other workout essentials. The room service menu offered a nice variety of items. My room was quiet and the bed very comfortable. There is a Starbucks within a 2 block walk along with a coffee maker in the room. Wish they didn't charge for wifi in the room however.

great night. great morning

A single nite weekend stay meant a saturday night on the town--downtown and close to everything-- and a great morning with a dip in a great pool/sauna/hot tub. The sunday buffet was very good @ $26. Class act hotel. Class act city.
