It nice and classy. Staff really fun. We felt as we treated royally. Rooms are big and roomy, and classy. We were there to see the Nickelback concert, it was a nice little walks from the Saddledome. The Raw Bar is expensive but really good. more

We stayed at this hotel for two nights at the end of a train/bus tour through the Canadian Rockies. We were quite impressed with the swanky decor and the creativity of the interior decorating (we especially loved the bedside tables with interior ambient lighting!) in the room and lobby. We enjoyed the courtyard pool (especially the poolside bar with its... more

The hotel decor was fabulous and the room was really clean. We booked a king luxury room which was great value for the price. it was a fun, trendy hotel perfect for a couple spending a night out-on-the town. the only drawback for us was the location...but we are not very familiar with Calgary and didn't have much time to... more

In September 2008 I stayed at the Hotel Arts and had the worst experience from any hotel Ive ever been too. We spent the weekend hiking around calgary, and the day we stayed at the hotel we were in Banff till late and didnt think we would make our reservation. We called to see if we could cancel but the... more

My boyfriend and I spent one weekend in August at the Hotel Arts. It has a great location, right in the centre of everything - so close to Stephen's Ave, 17th Ave and the Calgary tower. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable and the decor was nice. The rooms actually look exactly like the photos on their website :)... more

It's really too bad about this place. I liked the decor, design, and feel about it - it's unfortunate that the staff at this establishment don't seem to care about the experience that their guests are having. Our first impression was absolutely awful as the doorman was rude - we weren't sure we were at the right door as there... more

Ugh! How do they get away with this? Noisy like crazy, scary room service menu...I could go on but I won't. It's like the people who run the hotel have never actually traveled themselves and their only knowledge of service comes from cartoons and from old movies from childhood. Guys, if you want to stay in business: get better food,... more

We stayed there recently for a wedding, and were very unimpressed with this hotel. The Hotel Arts is currently under construction, and this was used as an excuse for everything from the small rooms to the fact that the bars in the hotel do not have draft beer (and charge over $8 for a bottle of domestic). The room was... more
