A lovely older elegant (our favorite kind) hotel downtown. Great staff, helpful in every regard.

This hotel is one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in and they single handedly changed my life with the incredible room upgrade they offered. The hotel is only surpassed by the level of the quality of the service~!!!

Overall we had an excellent experience at the Palliser. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly and the gold package with access to the lounge was well worth the money!

Great service but room was rundown. Room was huge but I had to turn off every lamp manually. Everything was just old but the service made up for it.

Exceptional vacation! We truly felt pampered by the staff—the Gold Lounge was such a peaceful oasis. The breakfast, and the evening canapés were delicious. For sure the highlight was the staff: attentive & friendly! If we need a weekend retreat, we will do this again.

Excellent staff from being greeted by Caleb upon arriving to welcoming by Neha and Oksana upon checking in and seeing to my requests during my stay. Any issue Neha and Oksana quickly had then resolved. Many thanks, If visiting again I will see you again.

Great location walkable to calgary Tower and dining options Rooms need to be updated as the bathrooms are beat up Need bottled water in rooms As much as you pay to stay here the bottled water and computer Wifi should be free

Very nice Hotel, the Gold staff really helped me get situated. The hotel has to figure something else out with the tour buses. I know that's a lot of rooms filled, but that situation where they allow the buses to monopolize the valet area for long stretches so other guests cannot arrive is totally unacceptable.

Very poor service in the lobby restaurant and bar. Sat for 20 mins unserved until we moved to the bar. Staff in the bar area was rude and not working very hard.
