Hotel Arts

So much fun in today’s #PrideParade! We hope everyone had as much fun as we did! #Pride #YYCPride

Adam Dupuis from Instinct Magazine visited Alberta as part of an LGBTQ Familiarization Trip hosted by Travel Alberta and Tourism Calgary.
He recently posted about his experiences in Calgary including a stay at Hotel Arts and visits to Yellow Door Bistro & Raw Bar among some other great restaurants, bars and attractions. Check out his article here: http://instinctmagazine.com/…/travel-th ursday-calgary-draws…
... Adam left with a favourable impression of our city and our province: "Calgary has emerged as a must-visit culinary destination with a buzzing arts and culture scene. Restaurants with chef-driven cuisine, classic and quirky theatre, and lively music events and outdoor festivals."
Thanks for visiting us Adam and for encouraging your readers to #CaptureCalgary and #ExploreAlberta.

You guys built me a pillow fort, not just any pillow fort, but the most bad ass pillow fort known to man. I'm 32, and I have never been happier! I will always stay here just to pay you back for this amazing experience! Thank you so much!!

What can I say about Hotel Arts Calgary



First I love the over all feel of Hotel Arts... very posh ;)



Great room services at reasonable pricing...



Love when the pool is open !



Love having a balcony...



Rooms can get pricy but when there is a deal on I am sure to book here for sure !



Great location and even give out loaner bikes to guests...



I just love this boutique hotel ;)

We were going to the saddledome for a hockey game and wanted something close so we could walk. I thought this place was too fancy for us but I saw the price and figured why not. Well I'm so glad I did. It's not very often you can get a king room for 120. And what a beautiful ambience, atmosphere, and incredible service. Never had a quicker or easier checkin. And checkout. Didn't try the restaurant but looked cool. Will definitely stay again!

We recently held our wedding at Hotel Arts in the summer and were so happy with everything. Brian was an absolute gem to work with from beginning to end. He was super knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process and nothing was impossible. The staff at Hotel Arts was absolutely great and professional. The service leading up to the wedding to the day of was wonderful. From the valet staff, to front desk, catering, to housekeeping, they were so quick to respond to any of our requests. I would highly recommend Hotel Arts for anyone who is planning to host their wedding locally in Calgary. The food was also wonderful from cocktails, to entree, dessert, and midnight snack. The service during our wedding reception was also wonderful as guests felt like they were dining in a restaurant. Thank you Hotel Arts for all your help in making our Wedding Day so memorable.

We just had a wonderful honeymoon at Hotel Arts! With their amazing customer service, pool and delicious food- we could of not had a better place to stay in Calgary for Calgarians. Thank you team!

Lovely place! Unlike US hotels, they provided 3 urns of tea water that were full all day for the class I took. (US hotels cut you off when the first urn runs dry.) A small detail, but they think of everything.

I’m mostly just impressed about the pillow fort. Well done, everyone.

Hotel Arts became a huge part of our team, and a major reason why our event was so successful. They ensured the rooms were impeccable and beautiful, and their Banquet and PSAV Techs were constantly checking on us to make sure everything was perfect. It took so much of the pressure and uncertainty out of the day for our team. They made us look professional, and our conference was flawless. Our guests had an amazing time and loved being there. We will recommend Hotel Arts to everyone we know!

Hotel Arts and its surrounding downtown landscape of fun and happening things to do, definitely is the top hotel to stay in Calgary!

As you enter you're drawn in by the incredible art; two top restaurants, Yellow Door and Raw Bar that both offer absolutely delicious food, and if staying as a guest, taken to your fabulous hotel room that is cozy comphy, with cool decor. Best of all is the utmost caring and kind staff, from the moment you enter, you feel welcomed and at home.

In planning an event, one could not ask for a more devoted team of events people, who care and are on top of every detail from beginning to the very end. Top of my list is the wonderful and most lovely person to work with, Mr. Brian Brownlee, exceptional!

Hotel Arts offers and creates memorable experiences.

Great little hotel and close to pretty much everything you'd want to do downtown. I stay here when I go to see my favourite Dj's play across the street at habitat.

Great hotel. Not only did I stay there, but our not for profit hosted their fundraiser at Hotel Arts and I can't say enough good things! The staff, management are all amazing and go out of your way to make sure you have what you need! 10/10 in my books!

Great food, fun/funky ambience, and friendly staff. Was at Hotel Arts for a three-day conference and the service and support from staff and management was exemplary: it felt like they wanted the conference to succeed--it wasn't just "another contract" to them. This is a locally owned business and it shows.

Beautiful hotel with wonderful art. Rooms were well-appointed with comfortable beds and pillows. Bathroom lighting has something to be desired for putting on makeup. But overall a place I would recommend. The hotel Arts has a great staff who made our visit very enjoyable!

We had a romantic weekend away and really enjoyed our room. King suite was just what we wanted. Warm, clean, quiet and great bathroom. Only gripe was only two sachets, no regular coffee only decaf and no free bottles of water. $5 per bottle. Honestly?!?

Room was fine, maybe because we're not hipsters, decor felt dated. Front desk was amazing, helpful and friendly. Don't rush to the in house dinner restaurant . Ok service and ok food. Although Raw Bar does have a great happy hour, prosseco and oysters! Although we had a reservation we waited way too long. They obviously don't know the trick of giving your guest a drink, they'll wait for a meal. Yellow Door for brunch has amazing service, great variety for brunch. Well worth the visit. Didn't catch our servers name there, but he was great!

Nice hotel, high standards. Very nice friendly staff. Would recommend Hotel Arts.

I think the "Hotel Des Arts" in Paris was very good.

Perhaps Hotel Arts is similar

Great location and great staff. Comfortable and clean room. If u do book on Expedia or another site the room u will get is on the second floor. A long hike from elevator. And with only a view of a stone covered roof and parking lot ! The windows are frosted 1/4 way up so u don't have to look at it. Not a big deal but the suites across the hall overlook the pool .

Comfy bed. Awesome staff. The bar and the restaurant in the hotel were just great.

Main let down was the bathroom - not much power on the shower and the water pressure was so low that it was basically like drips so not great for washing (our friends in other rooms said they had the same problem).

Otherwise a great experience.
