For downtown Calgary hotels, I think the Hyatt, the Westin, the Marriott and the Fairmont are the most comfortable around. I haven’t been in the rooms at the Hotel Arts but it certainly looks like a very cool place.

I have yet to go to River Cafe, though my next summer trip will definitely include a jaunt to admire the view from the windows!

We passed by the Janice Beaton cheese shop in Kensington, but it wasn’t open yet. I’d like to visit Farm as well – I still wonder why we don’t have charcuterie in Edmonton.

Thanks for the recommendation! We’ll have to look into it for next time.

Hi Sharon! As a former Calgarian (albeit temporary), I look forward to hearing all about your southern culinary adventures.

On my last weekender to Calgary, we brunched at the River Cafe, stopped by Manuel Latruwe’s for croissants, and made a visit to the Currie Barracks Farmer’s Market for all sorts of delicious edibles.

Janice Beaton’s Farm is on my list for our next visit (as is Globefish)…have heard fantastic things about both from friends. I am not-so-secretly hoping you visited these two and will be posting reviews shortly .

And I’m sorry your hotel experience was disappointing. If we don’t stay over with friends or family, we like the Calgary Westways Guest House, a B&B located in Mission. Their location and brekkies are lovely!
