I travel to Calgary a lot on business so have stayed at quite a large number of Calgay hotels. This would probably rank as the worst one to date. This was a very old and tired Holiday Inn that was refurbished about 6 years ago. Rooms have low end furniture, dark thread bare rugs, unimpressive bathroom with even linen and... More

We stayed at Hotel Arts last month as part of our honeymoon and I have to say we couldn't fault it - the staff were amazing. So welcoming and it being our honeymoon treated us so well - the loveliest bit being a thoughtful welcome letter and treats. Really couldn't thank them enough. The room was great - massive comfy...

My first stay was amazing. The lovely lobby and outdoor area will surprise! The room was large, and the aveda products a real treat. The gym treadmills have fans since its warm in there. Definitely worth another stay. Every staff member was friendly and attentive.

At $279.00 per night the hotels rooms are just not worth it. Can't believe that with so much effort on art in the first floor... the hallways & rooms miss the mark big time! My experience with an attempt to eat upon arrival was really bad despite getting there before Raw Bar's stated closing time. I will say that raw... More

Our experience at Hotel Arts was for the most part positive. The service in all parts of this hotel was top notch. The front desk staff were helpful, friendly and courteous. The valet/consierge were extremely helpful/friendly and our server at the Yellow Door Bistro was fantastic. The common area decor was hip and well maintained. Unfortunately the rooms were not...

First the positives; location, friendly staff, beautiful public areas, large room, comfortable beds, nice fitness centre. Outdoor pool in the muddle of everything by lobby; no hot tub or sauna. The room really needed some attention to detail. Have never seen a more beaten up piece of furniture with drawers; one of which was stuck and not able to close... More

From the moment you enter the lobby, you realize that the name is a genuine reflection of the decor. Throughout the hotel common areas and in the rooms, the designers have brought their sensibility and taste to the guests. My room was comfortable, reasonably sized, with excellent amenities. Room service was generally good. The food was tasty, hot and reasonably... More

This hotel was the closest place to the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon held May 26, 2013. It was a 5 minute walk to the start ans finish of the race. I would stay here again if the marathon was held in the same place which is the Stampede Park. It is also a walking distance to Downtown Calgary and to the... More

Stayed at the hotel for a night on a business trip. It was WAY overpriced if you ask my opinion but my coworker had booked it and the fairmont was full. The room was amazing, comfy bed, luxirious modern layout. Huge bathroom. The balcony sucked. It was dirty and you could not go out there without your shoes. We had... More
