The service was horrible, one thing to another. We waited over an hour to have things sent up from our car. We then waited 30 mins to order in room dining, food ended up being cold so we had to request a microwave which showed up 30 mins late then the plates didnt fit. Horrible experience never again.

The quiet elegance of the Fairmont Palliser showed through in every aspect of my stay. From the grandeur of the lobby, to the excellent room service, to the attention of my room attendant (thank you Esmarelda), to the evening turndown service, the Fairmont touch was everywhere, very much appreciated. This is the only place to stay in Calgary.

Unfortunately we were there at the time of the G7. Should have stayed 3 nights but had to move to another hotel for the last night As it happened I wish we had been moved for all the time. The hotel was crawling with security, police etc and was very intimidating. Not the fault of the hotel. The staff were very helpful and lively. We found the room very dark and small and a little disappointing

The hotel is old & there was carpet & heavy draperies in our room. My husband started sneezing when we entered the room & couldn’t stop! When we left the property, he had no issues. We would have asked to change rooms, but we’re not sure it would matter due to the age of he hotel. Glad we only stayed one night.

Calgary is an unheralded gem! And The Palliser is a fabulous hotel which has retained its elegance over time in a fabulous location! Though it appears the city has witnessed a bit of the post Covid decline experienced by many large cities, we felt very safe and enjoyed the numerous restaurants, bars and shops one block from the hotel doors.. Also, we enjoyed a shockingly delicious and affordable light meal at the Calgary Tower restaurant, Sky360.

So so

We had a room directly by the elevator and there was a great deal of noise all throughout the night waking us. We were also to be called when our room was ready but e we’re never called. Our luggage was delivered to the wrong room.
