5 Luxurious Edmonton Hotels That Cost a Small Fortune

Posted on October 6, 2016

If life, kids, or work are stressing you to the core, it's probably time for
a much-needed break. However, you don't have to buy plane tickets and travel
across the world to get the pampering you deserve. Edmonton offers some of the
most luxurious hotels. If you're willing to pay a small fortune, don't miss out
on these beautiful and opulent hotels right in your own backyard.

1. Fairmont Hotel
MacDonald

As the only Four Diamond rated luxury hotel in Edmonton, the Fairmont Hotel
MacDonald is the premier choice for accommodation in the Big E. Built by the
Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad in 1915, this chateau-style hotel pleasingly
greets you before you even walk in the door. Once you're inside, you'll have
your choice of many well-appointed guest rooms and suites. Pay extra to
overlook the scenic River Valley, as the views are second to none. There are
also fine dining options and top-notch facilities including a fitness room and
massage center. When you're a guest here, you'll feel like you've won the
lottery overnight.

2. Fantasyland
Hotel

If you're looking to take the entire family on your staycation foray,
there's no better option than the Fantasyland Hotel. Located 12 kilometers from
downtown Edmonton, this hotel offers themed rooms such as the Polynesian suite
and the Roman luxury suite. They still have normal guest rooms if
you aren't feeling particularly extravagant, but as the saying goes, "when
in Rome."

3. Union Bank Inn

Located near some of Edmonton's finest shopping and attractions, Union Bank
Inn is one of most extravagant boutique hotels in the city. Once you check in,
you'll find fleece robes, amazing decor, and a goose-down bed at your disposal.
The crown jewel here is the complimentary wine and cheese service, which
arrives at your door each night of your stay. Sleeping in is an option, but
it's not highly recommended, as the Union Bank Inn serves a full breakfast
spread every morning until 10 a.m.

4. The Sutton Place
Hotel

Situated in downtown Edmonton, the Sutton Place Hotel is the perfect mix of
luxury and convenience. When you stay here, you're only steps away from
Edmonton's ICE District, which provides you with awesome dining, nightlife, and
entertainment. Each room comes with a 42-inch LCD television with cable
programming and in-room movies and complimentary Wi-Fi. An upgrade gets you
slippers, bathrobes, and a plush duvet cover for the perfect night's sleep.
There are also many on-site amenities such as a restaurant, jacuzzi, fitness
centre, and even a heated indoor pool.

5. The Matrix Hotel

You won't enter an alternate universe when you stay at the Matrix Hotel, but
when you see your room, it sure may feel that way. Guests begin their day at
this establishment with a buffet-style breakfast that offers quiches, sausages,
fresh fruit, granola, and espresso. Once you've had your fill, you can engage
in spa treatment such as a steam in the sauna or a massage. Top it off with
nightly wine tastings, the Matrix Hotel is definitely worth the expense.

Even if you aren't a millionaire, it's still nice to feel like one for a
weekend. To do it right, make sure to book a room at one of these lavish
hotels.
