The Hotel Arts is a trendy little hotel in downtown Calgary. The location was pretty good, although it is a bit further away from Stephen Avenue than I normally like to stay. A reasonable walk gets you to the heart of things and to great restaurants.
The hotel appears to be an older building that has been updated. The result is a very trendy hotel but one whose bones still reveal some of the less desirable aspects of an older building. However, they have really done a good job to renew this building.
I think the best part was the fabulous staff. The Valets were on their game and fast, the front desk staff was polite and efficient, and all my requests were accommodated. I asked for a room with a view and got a great view of the Calgary tower, I mentioned that we were staying to celebrate a birthday and we were welcomed with a delicious complimentary chocolate desert tray in the room.
When we checked out we also were given a card offering a 20% discount on our next stay.
The rooms were nicely appointed, comfy bed, roomy and flat screen TV.
While this hotel isn't the most luxurious hotel in the city, it was very nice and considering we paid under $130 a night, I thought we got a lot of bang for our buck.
I would definitely stay again.
