I was amazed at how service was good, with everyone, from the housekeeper to the belldesk to the 4 Diamond restaurant servers. 2nd time there in 2 years, I'd say rooms would need renos...especially bathroom...but they did focus on the important stuff, and the beds are really comfy, they seemed new. The public areas have this château look we kind... More

We stayed here for 3 nights with our friends. We love everything. The food, the service, the location and the atmosphere. The only thing that disappointed me was I can not go out in the Balcony. there was a note that says falling snow..But overall, it was a great stay. Would recommend to everyone and I will come back here... More

Fairmont is quickly becoming one of my favorite chains as I am in Canada more often on business. Was at Fairmont Calgary two days and then on to Edmonton and the Macdonald. Great check in and I had three rooms booked. Large and comfortable and the bar is cozy. Also had breakfast and it was great and our server wonderful.... More

We did not stay at the hotel but did enjoy a wonderful Easter Brunch there. We were in the Empire Ballroom and it was just lovely. Unlike other set ups you could easily walk around the tables with your food without having to move chairs. There was plenty of space. It was not crowded at all. Little to no lines... More

Fairmont Hotels have the priviledge of having some of the most iconic looking hotels and locations. I stayed at this Fairmont for the first time on business. I was pleased to have a spacious room which as others note is not necessarily the norm with Faimont given the age and design of their properties. The room rate was comparable with... More

This is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the beds are extremely comfortable, the arcitecture and decor of the hotel is timeless, the gardens are beautiful, and the service is excellent.

We stay at the MAC every Christmas as part of my husband's company Xmas party. We always have a beautiful suite with nothing but impeccable service. Looking forward to our next stay! Since we have stayed at two other Fairmont hotels including the Jasper Park Lodge and The Palisar in Calgary. The MAC is still our favorite!

I just turned 50 and my husband wanted to give me a special present. We couldn't afford to "go away" on a holiday, but he booked us into the "Mac" for the weekend to celebrate in hopes that it would still make it a special birthday (we live in Edmonton). I can honestly say that I am glad he didn't... More

The Hotel MacDonald delivers what you expect from one of the old, great Railway hotels in Canada. Excellent service and comfortable rooms, its a great place to stay to either enjoy downtown Edmonton, or just hang out in the hotel and enjoy its ambience.
