Great Location and Services

The hotel is located in a great part of Calgary with tons of options for dining, drinking and shopping. Service staff was amazing especially poolside. We love to take a mini vacation and relax by the pool either in winter or summer! Highly recommended. The wing of the hotel we stayed in did feel a bit "tacked together" with lots of obvious rough finishing of paint and trim. The walk was a long way to the room with a set of small stairs that were unavoidable. The hallway had a distinct feeling of NOT being level. Yes I assessed this before drinks at the pool. All in all still one of our favorite places to stay in Calgary - but only at a nice discounted rate. I would feel a bit ripped off paying full high season rates here.

Do not get fooled by the pictures on expedia. The hotel is very old and has the old property smell to it. Highly disappointed by expedia trying to lure clients by showing the property as a brand new

Staycation

Always love staying at the Hotel Arts. Excellent location to be in and excellent staff. My one issue on this trip was that my wife and I made reservations for poolside to relax and our server brought us our drinks but and a menu and didn’t end up returning to take our food order for 30-40 minutes so we decided to leave but we watched others who came in after us get served with drinks and food in that time span of an hour we spend there total.
