Features
What to expect: This stately, Victorian-era hotel overlooking the North Saskatchewan River originally opened in 1915. Closed for complete restoration in the 1980s, it offers discriminating business travelers and vacationers modern amenities in a genuinely historical setting. Protective gargoyles perch on the hotel’s limestone façade; the lobby’s marble reception desk has welcomed visiting queens and kings.
Amenity highlights: The 24-hour business center has computers with printers and high-speed Internet access (surcharge), and health club amenities include a 12-m (40-ft) indoor saline pool, spa tub, steam room, and sauna.
Insider tip: Edmonton is famous for the indoor pedways and connecting malls that help people endure the city’s legendary “eight months of winter.” But no matter what the weather, an outdoor pulse still exists on Rice Howard Way, a block-long pedestrian strip of pubs and cafés that attracts a mixed crowd of vacationers, business travelers, and locals (two blocks away).
Harvest Room - Two-level, fine-dining restaurant with panoramic views of the river valley and hotel gardens; furnished with stained glass, antiques, and museum-quality art. Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; emphasis on regional fare, including Alberta beef, game, freshwater fish, and Canadian wines. Seasonal patio. Confederation Lounge - Club-like lounge with leather furnishings and ornate wood paneling; river views. Open daily from late morning to late evening; lunch, dinner, and appetizer menu. Seasonal patio. Empire Ballroom - Sunday brunch.
