Fairmont Hotel MacDonald
Escape to the Château
A château style hotel with elegant interiors, sweeping valley views and plenty of historic charm.
Perched right above the flow of Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley, Fairmont Hotel Macdonald pairs history and grandeur with lush greenery and raw natural beauty. This château style hotel dates all the way back to 1915, and it’s packed to the rafters with old-world character. Elegant interiors feel chic and cosy, while fine dining and cocktails make everything extra indulgent. When you’re craving some me-time, take yourself off to the two-storey Health Club for a steam, sauna and saltwater dip. Or if it’s your daily dose of fresh air that you’re after, venture downtown towards the Arts District and the river valley trails.

Facilities
There’s a great bunch of dining options at the Fairmont, so you can keep things as casual or swanky as you like. The Harvest Room is the main restaurant, serving seasonal Canadian dishes, meanwhile the Confederation Lounge is the hotel’s go-to spot for cocktails, small plates and spectacular river valley views. For a relaxed coffee, drink or bite, head to the Lobby Lounge and if you’ve got your sights set on something extra indulgent, the decadent afternoon tea is just the ticket.
The Harvest Room
The main event when it comes to dining at the hotel, The Harvest Room serves a menu of Canadian-inspired dishes, all carefully crafted using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Every meal is served with a complimentary side of river valley vistas, too, so if it’s food with a view that you’re after, you’ve struck gold.
Confederation Lounge
Drinks, cocktails and tasty nibbles come together in a relaxed but elegant setting in the Confederation Lounge. With huge windows that look out over the river valley, you couldn’t wish for a more idyllic setting to laze back and watch the world go by.
Lobby Lounge
For something a little moe laid back, slink off to the Lobby Lounge and choose from a menu of freshly-brewed artisan coffees, afternoon tipples and light bites. Packed with old-world charm, this one’s a great spot for those in-between moments after a busy day of exploring.
Afternoon Tea
A proper Fairmont tradition, the height of elegance come in the form of fancy teas, finger sandwiches, flaky pastries and perfectly-baked scones. It’s the ideal excuse to ease the pace for an hour or two and embrace the hotel at its most classic.
