Hotel Arts
This is a gorgeous hotel with wonderfully attentive and helpful staff! Parking is included, which seems to never happen any longer. Great restaurant and so many places to sit, relax and get a drink or munchies. Wonderful location to access all sorts of restaurants, shops and other sightseeing destinations. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others! It even has little balconies in each of the rooms.

Always a good pick for Downtown Calgary
As usual, a great stay at Hotel Arts. Conveniently located downtown and a 10-min walk to StephenAve, the restaurants, the Telus Convention Center and the tower.
The pool is not really meant for swimming so don't pick the hotel for this reason (or to bring kids). It's however a great place to hang out with the fireplaces and the beautiful design.
Beds are very comfortable and rooms are clean.
The only annoying thing is that they charge $3 per water bottle in the room. I come here 3x per year and average price is often around $300. To charge $3 for water bottle feels cheap when the bottle is likely $0.50 and everything else in the hotel is a high-end experience. Add $5 to your room prices and make the bottles free. It's quite an annoyance for business people on the go.

Fantastic service and comfortable stay.
Awesome stay at Hotel Arts. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional right from arrival and the valet for my car to the efficient check in process. The room was spacious and so comfortable. I appreciated the check backs from the front desk to ensure everything was in order.

Great location but worn out property
I haven’t stayed at Hotel Arts for a few years and was surprised to see how worn out the building and rooms have become. The door to our room was covered in scuffs, mold on the soap dispensers in the shower, garbage in the hall. The room was comfortable for a one night stay but it did not feel very clean.
That being said the location was good for some great restaurants and shopping and the hotel staff were friendly and quick to help. I will be skipping Hotel Arts during my next Calgary trip as it is a 2 star experience with a 4 star budget.

We had such a good time here, and every staff member we talked to was polite and helpful.
The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The massages were very nice, the pool area was neat, and i loved the gas fire places out there and the food was so good!

4/10 Fair
23 September 2024
What am I paying for?
This was not what we expected for $325/night. It's like they took a bigger hotel room and cut it in half and encased a bathroom in glass with zero sound proofing. The sink is in the main room outside of the washroom, which is also awkward. For $325 I shouldn't have to listen to my partner go to the washroom.
The ceiling and walls also had a frustrating amount of noise. Seemed like building operating noises but too loud to ignore and fall asleep.
Hotel Arts needs to work on their atmosphere and think about perception of value.

No Sleep at this hotel
Left the hotel after my first night. Extremely loud HVAC unit. It felt like I was sleeping next to a gas lawnmower. Told the front desk at 8:30 am and at 11:00pm that night I decided to book another hotel so I could get a good night sleep while staying for Business in Calgary. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL AT ALL!!!!!
