The Hotel Arts is a trendy little hotel in downtown Calgary. The location was pretty good, although it is a bit further away from Stephen Avenue than I normally like to stay. A reasonable walk gets you to the heart of things and to great restaurants. The hotel appears to be an older building that has been updated. The result... More

I usually stay here when in Calgary on business and it is part hotel and part art gallery. The price and location suit our needs but this definitely isn't a family hotel. The rooms come equipped with a coffee maker but no fridge which is a must for kids. The restaurant/lounge is also a bit pricey for non-expense account types... More

I had heard a great deal about this hotel so I decided to try one out.Great location - within walking distance to the Saddledome. The lobby is modern, clean and nicely decorated. I had a room on the 10th floor with a great view of the Calgary Tower and the downtown. The bed was very comfortable, and this says a... More

Stayed at Hotel Arts for one night in January 2012. Paid $95 for the room using Priceline "name your price" for a Saturday night stay. Room was as you'd expect, decent beds but "Pillows Pillows Pillows" on the website is a bit of an exaggeration. In room coffee of course, no fridge or microwave. Bathroom door was a sliding door...

This is a remodeled Holiday Inn and at nearly $180/nt, I wasn't overly impressed. It's designed to feel urban and modern, but it's just covering up for the fact that it's an old building. Room service menu is limited with limited delivery hours, although there is a great Greek place that delivers (Manie's). The Raw Bar is great for drinks... More

We stayed in this hotel while my husband attended a business excellence award weekend. We were very happy with the location and the valet service. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient and most helpful directing me to great shopping areas in Calgary. Our room was small but very nicely appointed with a lovely spa like bathroom and great... More

I stayed 2 nights on business. Check-in was quick and efficient. The lobby is very nice, with a lot of eclectic art and lighting. As others have noted, the "luxury" suite has very limited lighting and the room is noticeably dark. The bathroom is very nice, with a deep tub that was great for a nice soak after being outside...

We stayed in a "luxury suite" at Hotel Arts for 1 week while our home was undergoing renovations. At almost 200$/ night, I think we expected more. The suites are comfortably large, clean but the lighting is quite dim (perhaps to set the mood and match the ambiance of the hotel's decor as a whole). I found it too dark... More

This hotel is located in downtown calgary. Its a boutique style hotel which is nicely renovated. We happened to get a great deal on expedia, so make sure to check out the expedia website to compare rates as you might just strike a bargain. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area and restaurants. It was a good... More
