Liked: It was very comfortable. We bought the gold level upgrade and the included long access and breakfast were very pleasant.

Liked: The pillows - awesome! Great sleep!

My fiance and I rented a gold room for the night. Upon arrival, we were met by incredibly courteous staff, who ensured everything we needed was available. The room itself was amazing and so comfortable. Upon checkout, everything was seamless and incredibly professional.

Liked: The room was exemplary; the staff were incredibly professional; the bed was superb and it was an overall wonderful experience and well worth the cost.
Disliked: This hotel has ruined all other hotels for me.

We had a wonderful weekend. The hotel was just beyond words. Fantastic location for us to be able to walk around and enjoy the downtown core. An experience that we will not soon forget!

Liked: The service we received from the staff was outstanding. The room was phenomenal!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

Very good

Great hotel for special occasions

Liked: This was a quick staycation as my mum and sister live in Calgary and The Palliser was always somewhere we would go for special occasions. The staff were super friendly and the room was fantastic, along with the lovely amenities and good thing that there is a website where you can buy them after your stay! We had afternoon tea before checking in and this was a lovely end of the year treat.

Liked: Downtown location.
Disliked: We booked this property because when we inquired about over sized vehicle parking they said yes, they have secure over sized parking. Come to find out their secure parking is an ally way.

Superb

Liked: The Fairmont Palliser is an incredible piece of Calgarian history. I love that this antique building still exists and that people still go here to celebrate their beautiful gatherings, large or small.The morning and day staff during my stay were excellent. Upon arrival, the baggage handlers and bellmen were just wonderful. The front staff were friendly and helpful. The chandeliers were exquisite and the Christmas decorations were pretty. The floors in the main entry are beautiful. The pool and hot tub were very clean, and the water was crystal clear. The temperatures were exactly as I had expected. The main pool was refreshingly warm/cool, with warm water jetting in, and the hot tub was hot at 40°. The women's change room was beautiful with vanities to re-do your make up and hair after you swim. I loved the pictures in the hallways of the mezanine level with stories about previous visitors to the hotel. The beds were so comfortable.I would love to see one or two of the rooms turned into a gallery/museum and have them dressed as per what guests of old time may have looked like or been like, and have special tickets (affordable-or with a meal) and times to tour certain areas that tell the tale of the hotel and patrons both famous or regular civilian. It would be great to restore some of the old ways of how they did things in the hotel such as the telephone operator room (just a demo dosplay) just simply to see how the old hotel once was and the complicated yet simplistic way the hotel was run. Maybe have a dress up day of the week or month where staff dress as they did in the 1920's, 30's, 60's and jump to 2000's and then decorate updated rooms for those guests looking for more current amenities. It would be interesting to maybe have different wings of the building representing eras as the building itself housed so many patrons in the different eras. This building is so charming. I just love it!
Disliked: The table next to my bed had not been wiped clean so there was a sticky ring of residue on the table from the previous guest. Likely an oversight in a rush to get the room ready.The overnight staff were not as friendly as the experience with the morning and day staff.
