We paid $116 + taxes for a night stay at this hotel (found this price via Expedia and property honored the pricing when we booked directly via the phone). This is a boutique hotel... from the looks of it, they renovated and older property. The hotel lobby was small but very nice. Hotel staff was friendly. Rooms are equiped with... more

There is a huge emphasis on the decoration hence the name but along with that comes pros and cons. The pros of this hotel is the location: it is walkable distance to the museum, restaurants, casino and a Calgary Flames hockey game, and super deep bath tub for soaking. The cons is that the heater is so loud it is... more

Stayed for one night early January 2008 to see a game at the saddledome. Contacted hotel directly the day before and negotiated a very good discount compared to what was available online at the time. The hotel has impressive lobby and common areas. Room was large, clean and warm with huge plasma TV, comfortable bed and modern clean bathroom and... more

I got a discount deal on the room through a local connection and stayed here for four nights. Though it was generally okay, there were aspects of this hotel that would not have been acceptable had I paid full price. In particular, the bathroom: the shower was a straight-down-from-the-ceiling "flower" head that made it impossible to avoid standing in cold... more

When I stay over in Calgary I always stay at the Arts. I find this botique hotel just what it is described as. The rooms are comfortable as are the beds. The rooms are quiet and clean. The room service is a little disappointing. If you can get a good rate, its definatly worth staying there. I have paid $109... more

The Hotel Arts is a very dissapointing hotel overall. In the course of a two night stay I have been in three different rooms. The first room that I was put in had no heat, and at -20C outside, I had to keep my coat on. When I called the front desk, they sent maintenance up, who seemed to know... more

A family wedding brought us to Calgary at the beginning of November. We were two families with assorted grown children and booked in to the Hotel Arts, based on some very glamorous descriptions we found on the web, the central location and what appeared to be an attractive price. The hotel is basically a shabby, dingy place that tries very... more

It starts off nice. Good location, great lobby and helpful front desk - then you get to your room. I was on the street side and the traffic noise is persistent and loud. To drown it out I turned on the ancient heater / air conditioner that sounded like a Mack truck. The plasma TV looked nice on the wall... more

Long on glitz, short on quality. This hotel tries SO hard to be trendy but falls short on the essentials. The lobby is, umm, dramatic but it goes downhill from there. The room was dark and crowded with no armchair or reading light. We had to traverse a flight of steps [with roller baggage] to get to our room -definitely... more
