Katy United States of America

The beauty of the lobby, friendliness at check in, size of room. Enjoyed the live music.

Wendy United States of America

the building is beautiful and the room was spacious and well equipped with comfy beds and pillows.

Leah Canada

We love the Fairmont Hotels and this hotel did not disappoint . There was issue with the computers at check in and we had to wait a while to check in. However the young lady who was taking care of us at reception desk upgraded us to a bigger room, apologizing for the delay ( although it did not have a king bed that we had requested) the room was quite nice.

Jose Canada

centrally located walking distance to museums, restaurants and bars. comfortable and clean.

Xavier United States of America

the property was a great location and easy to get around. room service was delicious and fast.

Char Canada

I loved everything-the lobby decor, every person on the staff that I interacted with (valet, concierge, bell man, front desk staff, housekeeping and the bartender). They all were super sweet. I absolutely loved the lady that kept our room clean and the bartender. The bartender put the biggest smile on my son’s face with a wry kind gesture. The bed was nice and comfy and they did a great job at adhering to all the COVID rules. I can’t wait to return to Calgary from Alabama just to experience the Fairmont Palliser again. The location was perfect. We walked everywhere. Note: we stayed 4 nights and it became a home to us.

Courteney United States of America

Location is great to get around downtown. Fairmont hotels in general are always quite exceptional.

Megan Canada

Excellent valet services, always as quick as they can. The building was pristine.
