“Look forward very much to staying there again soon, and I am!”

This is a fabulous hotel. The rooms and ambience of the hotel is wonderful. It is in a prime location downtown overlooking the river valley. The food in the restraunt was great. The rooms are beautiful. The atmosphere is very restful and peaceful. The staff so friendly. The offered rates were also considerably better than at other 4 to 5 star hotels in the city. Will definately stay there again.

“Great Choice”

The hotel was a great choice. We stayed here for a conference and the rooms were lovely and the conference room was gorgeous. It was also walking distance to some nice restaurants. The shampoo and conditioner was bad and left my hair full of static. The hotel should look into this. And parking wasn't great. At $26 for self-parking and $30 for valet per night, it was a bit costly. The parkade wasn't even connected to the hotel. Overall, though, the hotel was a very nice choice and we would definitely stay there again.

“Above and Beyond!”

This was an overnight stay to celebrate my sisters birthday. The hotel staff spoiled us with a beautiful room overlooking the river and a plate of fresh fruit and chocolates. It was unexpected and so appreciated. I can't wait to go back!

“Edmonton Elegance”

We love Fairmonts, and this is the friendliest one we have ever stayed at- great service!

“A must stay”

We enjoyed our one night stay at the Fairmont MacDonald. Our room was perfect and the staff were attentive and professional. We would highly recommend this hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at how well the rooms were kept up for a historic hotel. This was our second stay at this hotel and we look forward to the next! Our only concern is that although the staff in the lounge were still amazing, the food has declined in our opinion.

“What's Not To Love”

The hotel was beautiful and the staff were wonderful. Our bathroom door was a little fussy about locking at times but I can live with that. Loved the hote. And the breakfast was wonderful as well.

“Superb Hotel”

One of the best hotels that i have ever stayed at. Friendliest staff, even though they had the olympics quialifications team there and they were busy, they went out of their way to get whatever done for you. Hotel room views were awesome and so is the bar and the outside terrace which overlooks downtown and the river.

“A great escape as expected!”

Great ambiance, good service, nice amenities! Will definitely go back. Valet parking must, very nice doormen - a little on the expensive side. Overall much impressed and will definitely go back. The Jameses

“Easy access to shopping, dining, and nice walks”

The hotel had high quality amenities including restaurants, a spa, and a gym. The service was great. The television was a large LCD panel. The bathroom was somewhat cramped. There was a night light within the room that could not be turned off, which was a bit disruptive to sleeping. Remember to register for the Fairmont President's Club before you go to receive their internet service. One great thing is that the hotel is located in the heart of the downtown area, with nice restaurants located within a few blocks. There is a movie theatre and mall close by. Going to the West Edmonton Mall is also a breeze as there are 2 buses and an express bus that takes under 30 minutes. You can also walk to Old Strathcona area easily.

“Another Fairmont Gem”

I have stayed in this Hotel quite a few times and I love this building. Service is great. Staff recognizes me and service is great. It is like a piece of history.
