This boutique inn across the Bow River from downtown Calgary is an intimate yet upscale charmer. Formerly a B&B, this stylish boutique hotel opened about 8 years ago in the trendy neighbourhood of Kensington. Enter this modern mansion and help yourself to a glass of bottled water when you check in. We each received a breakfast voucher worth $20 and... More

This has to be one of Calgary’s best keep little secret! I stayed here one night for the first time and sure it will not be my last. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean and put together very nicely!

We stayed at this hotel for the last night of a skiing trip to the Rocky Mountains. It is a very special place as it feels very different to other american high rise 5 star hotels. It has a personal touch, very delicious food and the staff is extremely attentive and helpful. We would return anytime!

Our first stay at "Kensington" was an absolute delight! The staff were incredibly polite and sensitive to our needs. Our hat's off to the "Chef"! What fabulous meals. Also, thank you to Phil, (our server) William, Martha, Peter, and all the rest of your well trained and personable stewards! We loved the privacy and the quiet, that this quaint Inn... More

We stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful neighborhood hotel. The amenities were great, service was great, and they even had a heated underground parking garage for each guest. Very small and intimate, with a very nice restaurant inside (Chef's Table). Well worth the stay.

My third stay in the riverside Inn was generally as good as the first two. I was only there one night but got a good nights rest, the bed was very pleasant and since the outside temperature was -17 the fireplace was a welcome luxury.

This was the first time I stayed at the hotel. Staff was friendly and always available. Breakfast included in room rate. There are only two stories and I would guess some 20 rooms. My room was decorated in modern decor (clearly updated), had what was arguably the most comfortable bed I've slept in at a hotel in a long time... More

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at the Kensington Riverside Inn during a recent holiday to Calgary. I couldn't recommend it enough, from checking in to departing, we were met with first-rate service from all members of staff. They were all very helpful and friendly. Our room was very well appointed, a good size with a balcony,... More
