We had a lovely stay at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary. My wife and I came up for a wedding and stayed two nights. The room was very big with a wonderful bathroom. We were on the fourth floor on the inside so the view was none existent. Unless you have a balcony, you don't usually stand and stare out... More

Same room as the Laurier in Ottawa. The only upgrade is the flat TV and he keuring coffee machine. Clean comfortable although our room was dark facing a inner courtyard. On the psi tube side the pool tiled is awesome and the g is standard. Well placed there is a real coffee shop almost across the street ask the concierge.

I recently stayed at the Palliser, while I like the Fairmont brand and have paid more per room at their resorts overseas, including Hawaii, the room I had for $549 a night was far from worth it. Small bathroom, bed that needed replacing, peeling paint on the ceiling and what was just a very basic room that was tired and... More

We did not stay here as we were staying with friends but we made the bar here our 'go to' place to relax, have a glass of wine and a snack and enjoy the calm atmosphere after walking around the city sightseeing and shopping. No visit to Calgary can be complete without at least one visit to the Palliser. A... More

This hotel lives up to its billing . . . gracious, welcoming and relaxing. There is a "slow" computer in the lobby which is helpful if one does not carry all the latest toys yet wishes to deal with e-mail, etc. As there is no "ramp" facility at the hotel entrance, the guests either need to haul their own luggage,...

We stayed at The Fairmont Hotel in the Gold Floor during the Calgary Comic Expo and it was the best experience we've ever had at a hotel, the staff were friendly accommodating and the rooms were fabulous. The beds were comforable and at night they turned down your bed and brought you free slippers. We really enjoyed the gold lounge... More
