This charming hotel is elegant but not too hoity-toity, suggesting you can roll up in a tracksuit or a business suit – or some kind of combination of the two. Rooms have splashes of color and lots of comfort, and Edmonton's coolest neighborhood is on the doorstep. Parking, free breakfast, and evening wine and cheese sweeten the deal. Phone for discounts.
