Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Rich Edwardian commercial-style architecture reflects a time of truly grand hotels. Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and gold-gilded ceilings earmark the lobby. The Rimrock, a Tudor-style restaurant, opens out to the lobby, and showcases a heraldic heritage fireplace, barreled ceilings, and a 38-foot mural by Banff artist, Charles Beil. There is also a lounge. Located on the Boulevard Level, the glass rotunda of the Canadian Pacific Railway Pavilion is reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century European railway station with vintage 1920 rail cars.
Amenity highlights: The acclaimed Rimrock restaurant serves classic regional cuisine and hosts decadent Death by Chocolate every Tuesday and Thursday. A quintessential Sunday brunch is also offered in the grand lobby. Also on site, the Boulevard Club offers an indoor swimming pool, large spa tub, eucalyptus steam room, aerobics, and weight-training equipment. Senses Salon and Spa offers hair, facial and body treatments. In-room massage treatments are also available.

Property Amenities
The original downtown centre of Calgary was located 10 blocks to the east of The Fairmont Palliser. The completion of the Edwardian commercial-style luxury hotel in 1914 resulted in the downtown core being relocated around The Palliser. These stores and shops were established on what is now historic Stephen Avenue Walk. In keeping with the sandstone construction of The Fairmont Palliser, Stephen Avenue Walk buildings are also made of sandstone. Stephen Avenue Walk is a vibrant centre of downtown life, home to 350 shops and 35 restaurants and pubs. The theatre district anchors the east end of this five-block cobblestone pedestrian walk. There are ten nightclubs within blocks of the hotel, giving guests the choice of dance, rock, country or jazz music. Most nightclubs offer live music on the weekends.
The Fairmont Palliser is also located next to another city landmark; The Calgary Tower—complete with observation lounge and revolving Panorama room restaurant. Also nearby, the Calgary Zoo is the 10th largest in North America and offers a diverse activities for families on the weekends (the Calgary Zoo is five minutes by car or ten minutes by Public Light Rail Transit/LRT).
