The House & Restaurant will be CLOSED on Thursday September 13, for a special private event. The Gardens, as always, will be open and free from dawn to dusk.

The House team has worked with Matt a lot in recent years. We are big fans. Go see him!

We loved seeing this outside our door on Wednesday. Somewhere inside the House, a family was filling up on fascinating Calgary history, banisters, sandstone, stories and maybe even a ham, white cheddar & poached-pear sandwich.
We're open today 'till 4 and Sat/Sun from 10 -4. The wildly popular (look it up on TripAdvisor!) Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Tour happens Sunday, 1 p.m. for the very modest cost of admission.

As our flowers wane, it's becoming your last chance to see our summer exhibit before it ends Sept. 30th. Fifteen contemporary artists have created engaging art and insight about Calgary's historic reliance on sandstone and oil.
Feast your eyes on the exhibit's sculptures, paintings, illustrations, videos and more, after feasting your belly on eggs bennie (or other plates) at our weekend brunch (reserve at 403-410-9288) 10-2 every Sat/Sun.

Et voila! Congratulations to Calgary's Diner en Blanc, held tonight at Lougheed House. 1000 people, and all smiles.

What a beautiful venue. Historic house, lovely grounds and a superb gift shop. Can't wait for my next visit!

We went to #LougheedHouse for my birthday. It provided us with an Elegant, prestigious dining experience; caring and attentive servers; and exquisite food and drinks. This place is antiquely beautiful. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to to spend some quality time with your loved ones❣️

We had our wedding at Lougheed House and it was perfect. The staff was always accommodating, the food was amazing and the service was impeccable. If you are looking for a unique venue that caters to the smaller wedding then this is the place. Thank you for everything.

The Lougheed House is an ideal venue for any special event. The atmosphere is exquisite, the service is fabulous, and the food top-notch. I would highly recommend it for any special occasion. 👍

My new husband and i just had our wedding at the Lougheed house at the beginning of June. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful location . Our guests are still talking about it. Kerri and her team from the onsite restaurant were amazing, the food was amazing and we would highly recommend this location for any special occasion.

It was an awesome experience to see a part of not only Calgary's history, but Alberta's history

It is the real architect if 18-19 century and is well maintained.Worth seeing once in 3-4 years to refresh the Memoirs. Good Keep it UP.

I was there for my best friends wedding. They did an excellent job making sure everything was just perfect! They had the venue set up for both inside and outside, as about an hour earlier it was raining. So prepared! The grounds are beautiful and the house is so awesome to check out! I would recommend checking it out!

I thoroughly enjoyed the noon tea service. The table setting, china and decor made for a charming old-school vibe. The tea and food was delicious - especially the homemade blueberry scone with all the fixings. Our server was knowledgable about the venue and had the training of a traditional English butler. It's definitely worth the experience.

I just attended a wedding at the Lougheed House and it was spectacular! Besides the beautiful venue, every server at the wedding was so professional and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted. The food was AMAZING!! I also loved touring the building as I'd never been there before

Had my wedding here August 2012 it was so wonderful and the setting is beautiful. Staff are topknotch and price is great for a wedding.

Gracious staff! The tour was very good! Teddy did an amazing job with the tour! Must check out Bill and Teds excellent adventure tour! The food was fantastic, had the eggs benny and they were cooked to perfection! Want a lovely historical brunch in the middle of downtown Calgary, then check this place out!

Beautiful history at my door step. 125 years. Heard great music yesterday Calgary Opera was preforming along with many other fantastic preformers

Another old historical building that is beautiful inside.

A wonderful venue for our wedding. The staff were very attentive and treated our guests perfectly.

A beautiful home, filled with beautiful furniture and knowledgeable staff. I love visiting the Lougheed House.

This was a great stop on a rainy day. Loved looking at the old house and getting a guided tour and learning the history. Also loved that it was wedding dresses through the years display while we visited.

Beautiful bit of Calgary's history, collection of period fashions, etc, centrally located, gorgeous grounds, restaurant, occasional live music venue!
