Fantasyland Hotel

Edmonton


As if West Edmonton Mall wasn't surreal enough, this adjoining hotel is something to behold. There are standard rooms, but the real draws are the themed rooms. With 13 themes to choose from – including Africa, igloo, Roman, Polynesian, Outer Space, Pirates – it's hard to pick one. Barely staying on the cool side of kitsch, it's a big hit with families.

It also has a wide variety of bedding options to suit any imaginable situation, plus plenty of giant Jacuzzis, thick carpets, ceiling mirrors and, above all, space.
