Love Fairmont Calgary. We had a 1 bedroom suite and really enjoyed the extra space. The fairmont is one block off Stephen ave which has a lot restaurants and pubs and a little over a kilometer to the river boardwalk. Both are great attractions

Central location for hotel of very high standard with very good facilities. Bar and lounge was pleasant with excellent female singer playing guitar on our first night. Breakfast was good but spoiled by intrusive background music. However staff responded to turn it off. Not appropriate for this class of hotel and clientele.
