Fairmont Palliser is Calgary’s historic grand hotel, occupying a landmark building in the downtown core close to the city’s business, arts and entertainment districts. Open since 1914, the property retains a formal sense of arrival, with marble, chandeliers and heritage detailing in its public spaces. Rooms are more understated and comfortable, while Hawthorn Dining Room & Bar gives the hotel a social centre for breakfast, drinks and contemporary Canadian cooking. Its location places guests within walking distance of Calgary Tower, shopping, theatres and the Bow River, with the Rockies accessible beyond the city.
