Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Fairmont Palliser from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Fairmont Palliser's prime location, just steps away from Stephen Avenue and within walking distance of attractions like 17th Avenue and the river walk. The Gold lounge is a highlight, offering exceptional food and service, especially with the sumptuous breakfast options and delicious evening canapรฉs, and features large windows with a beautiful view. Some guests have noted that certain rooms can be smaller due to the historical nature of the building. The Greco-Roman styled pool, with its adults-only hours, also receives positive attention.

The hotel location is prime, offering easy access to the city center and nearby attractions I found valet parking convenient for managing my vehicle upon arrival The lobby has an elegant design that adds to the overall upscale atmosphere I appreciated the attentive staff who made me feel welcome throughout my visit.
