My partner and I just spent a lovely weekend in Calgary, staying at the Palliser. We didn't want to leave the hotel! We sprung for gold to make it more special; it was the best travel decision we've made in a long time. The Ladies at the desk are marvelous, and accommodated our every wish. Our first morning I realized... More

This is my first stay at a Fairmont hotel, and I am very favourably impressed - I will certainly explore more hotels in the chain. I arrived in the evening (21:00 real time, 04:00 by my body clock!), tired and irritable. At check in, they suggested I upgrade to Gold (a very helpful front-of-house team), as the cost would be...

We spent three days at the Palliser in Calgary from 17th May, we were given a very big room, almost like an open suite which had very limited city views but was so very quiet, the room was very comfortable, two queen beds although we would have preferred 1 King, it was fine, lovely big couch and armchairs, very clean...

We recently stayed at the Palliser as my husband had a conference there. Our room was beautiful and very clean and they were very accommodating in bringing us a rollaway fairly quickly once we requested it. The beds were really comfortable and we liked the down filled comforters. The only issue we had was when we realized upon checking out... More

We were only here for one night but it worked well for our needs. We had requested a one bedroom suite for our family however we ended up with 2 separate rooms. Although it would have been preferable to all be together, we managed and the rooms were well fitted out. As we checked in late, after 33 hours of... More

Beautiful historic hotel. Period. The staff go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. We found the location perfect. But parking is expensive! Weekends are cheaper but ask what options you have when you book. We stayed in a junior suite and it was lovely. Wonderful in-room coffee. Robes. High ceilings. Bright. Be warned that it is a...

This hotel is in a great location and well equipped. The concierge, front desk and housekeeping staff were exceptional. The only down side was that I waited at least 15 minutes in the lounge before I moved tables so that hopefully one of the hosts would notice me and take my order. The next day at breakfast, I waited to... More

We had a great one night stay her last summer. We loved the location in Calgary and it is very easy to walk around to restaurants and Stephen Avenue. The rooms are nice, but a little "tired". I think they were renovating the hotel slowly- so perhaps things have changed. We know their top tier (penthouse?) room have been renovated... More
