This should be a lovely, world class hotel. In some ways, it is but overall we found our visit disappointing. It went wrong right from the start, with a 25 minute wait for check-in. That’s just annoying and completely unnecessary. We are a family of four so the wasted time across the family is 100 minutes. The problems continued with a food contamination issue - a metal object in the breakfast sausage - that my son crunched on before spitting it out. I’m not familiar with Canadian food - maybe that’s normal - but in the UK food factories take extraordinary care to avoid such mishaps as they can be dangerous. The hotel did its best to make up for these problems, and were professional about it. But overall we left disappointed. And, given we are also staying in the Fairmont Lake Louise in a few days… not certain of what to expect as this was the second disappointment I’ve had at a Fairmont property (out of 2!). Read less

Jul 10, 2024 xlgmokha Calgary, Canada

I love the pool and health club activities. I visited the pool daily and signed up for activities like yoga, sound bathing and pickleball. I made a few friends at the pool too. At first I felt a little out of my comfort zone but after chatting with a few members of the staff I quickly began to relax and found myself drawn to the pool.

Pros: >>Neat and Clean. >>Great ambience. >>Pool's great. >>Great location >> If not interested in the hotel food, can step out into the market. Ample choices. Cons: >> From the price point, i guess it's a bit pricey even for of-season. I plan to go once during winters would be able to comment more at that time.
