If your idea of an urban park is Central Park in NYC, then you're about to get mugged. The North Saskatchewan River Valley is 22x more astounding. Overlooking it all since 1915, The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald is the only Four Diamond-rated hotel in Edmonton.
The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald seems just as immense as the park system it overlooks. That said, there are only 199 guest rooms, which explains the hotel's reputation for warm hospitality. Each room and suite is classically decorated to connect the estate to its history. Every room offers a spectacular view of either the magnificent parks, or the Edmonton skyline.
The Harvest Room takes advantage of its hometown advantage with a menu that focuses on Alberta beef, freshwater fish, and local produce. Step into The Confederation Lounge for one of their prize single malt scotches.
With an indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam room, and massage therapy, The Macdonald Health Club is the way to recuperate from a trip to the parks.
