Hotel Arts Kensington
1126 Memorial Drive Northwest, T2N 3E3 Calgary, Canada – Excellent location – show map
Excellent location – rated 9.5/10! (score from 161 reviews)
Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The continental breakfast was a cut (or two) above the usual, with delicious freshly baked muffins and light pastries among the high-quality items available each morning. Though there is some street noise from Memorial Drive, it seemed to die way down by 10 pm and sleep was not disturbed. Definitely a wonderful place to stay as a couple, on your own, or with well-behaved children. And the location in the hip Kensington neighborhood just a short walk from Prince Island Park is really convenient.
