Wonderful

Our room and the staff were great. Drinks at the bar downstairs were excellent. We were staying over for my son's birthday and they even brought some complimentary treats up to our room for him. Close to lots of stuff to do downtown. Will definitely be staying again!
This hotel is luxurious and beautiful. Everything was immaculate.

Neal is our favorite member of the staff and we can’t imagine the Palliser without him! He is such a gem and we love his kind, considerate, and thoughtful approach to guest services!
The Fairmont is such a wonderful home away from home!
Everything was fabulous - the room, the staff, the beautiful old building, the bar/restaurant, the location - we loved it and we can’t wait to come back! 5 stars
