Our flight into Calgary arrived at 8:30am. We took the bus downtown to the Fairmont. We knew we were too early to checkin. However, we waited in the lobby area for 45 minutes and our room was available for checkin! And what a gorgeous corner room we had. Love the Palliser!

Excellent service from front desk, valet parking and restaurant staff. Great location...dined at one of many restaurants nearby, then hopped the train to the Jubilee Auditorium for a show...very convenient.

This is a lovely, historic hotel with exceptional ambiance which makes it perfect for people that appreciate an elegant experience. The only downside to this particular trip was that there were many young families with children enthusiastically enjoying the pool and sauna facilities with little regard for the “adult only” swim times or hot tub rules. Note to self…don’t book a trip during “holidays”.

Pro’s: beautiful hotel, comfy beds, very clean, upscale, great food and service
Con’s: valet parking was $65 which we didn’t find out until we got the bill, $50 dining credit doesn’t go far. In the past the deals were $100 dining credit and that was better. Also there was a credit for valet parking in the past too

Such a beautiful stay! The staff were very friendly, polite, and attentive. We were doing a “staycation”, and they made sure it felt special for us! The history of the hotel is very neat, and you can feel it surrounding you. The food at the Hawthorn Dining Lounge was delicious, I definitely recommend going there!

Unfortunately when we checked in there was a Christmas party in the lobby. It was so loud it was so hard to hear and talk. We were offered an upgrade to a Fairmont Gold room for a reasonable price and we happily accepted. When we got to our room, it was the same as what we had booked. The only benefit was the lounge. We were right by the elevator and could hear it in our room all night

We were fortunate enough to arrive at a time where the lovely Palliser was all dressed up for Christmas and everything was stunningly beautiful. The staff are warm and welcoming; the Hawthorn (lobby bar) was great & a fabulous 2 piece band was playing. Our room was quite large and although a little older, well appointed and we appreciated the inform Nespresso coffee. This hotel is also very well located with easy access to many city highlights, restaurants and shopping. Would definitely stay there again, especially with the TravelZoo deal!!

An Exceptional Stay at the Palliser Hotel
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Palliser Hotel for two nights, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
From the moment we arrived, the staff’s attention to detail was evident. The valet service was prompt and courteous, making check-in smooth and effortless. Throughout our stay, the staff was consistently checking in to ensure we were enjoying our time and that everything was to our satisfaction. If we had any requests or concerns, they addressed them immediately, demonstrating a commitment to providing top-notch service.
We were particularly impressed by the staff's willingness to share their knowledge of the city. They took the time to answer all our questions about the local area, offering insightful recommendations about restaurants, attractions, and the hotel's rich history, which added an extra layer of charm to our visit.
The Palliser Hotel itself is a beautiful blend of historic elegance and modern amenities. The decor throughout the hotel is simply stunning—each space has been thoughtfully designed with luxurious finishes and an atmosphere that exudes both comfort and sophistication. We felt like we were truly immersed in a unique and beautiful environment.
As for the entertainment, the nightly live performances were a highlight of our stay. The quality of the shows was exceptional, providing a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the city. It's rare to find a hotel that offers such a high level of entertainment alongside such attentive service.
Finally, the cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable. Every corner was spotless, and the housekeeping team made sure our room was refreshed daily, ensuring we always had a pleasant and comfortable environment to return to.
Overall, I can't recommend the Palliser Hotel highly enough. The combination of attentive staff, luxurious surroundings, excellent entertainment, and impeccable service made for an unforgettable stay. I look forward to returning and will certainly be recommending it to friends and family.

The Palliser is a beautiful hotel, and we were delighted to be upgraded to Fairmont Gold for an additional charge. High Tea was a special treat (and more filling than I thought it would be). The saltwater pool was refreshing, the hot tub large enough for three couples with room besides, the lighting and music enchanting. The rose-scented toiletries in the washroom were so nice we inquired on how we could order some. The staff were attentive and kind, and went above and beyond to make our short stay a truly memorable one.

Easy to book, easy to check in. The credit did little towards our breakfast, still had to pay $25 on top of the $50 credit. Breakfast consisted of an omelette and latte, 2 egg breakfast plus a juice. surely didn't get value there for a breakfast of $78.
