I have been taking all my annual winter breaks at Fairmont Macdonald since 2018. I loved the snow and cold of Edmonton's winter and I love this hotel. The stay this year showed me all the sustainability transformation that Fairmont has made. I am so appreciative of that. They provided me with a small pitcher of cream so that I can make coffee and tea without having to use those disposable creamer cups. They deliver fresh water in glass bottles every night instead of disposable water bottles. The hospitality of every single staff member I met during this stay is fabulous and attentive. What else can I say? I love this hotel. Looking forward to spending my 2024 winter break there again! Keep up the great job to all the staff at Fairmont Macdonald!
Pros: Nice, quiet and safe, friendly staff.
Cons: Screaming for updates, especially bathrooms, dining options are very limited, for such a classy hotel fine dining area is a must but here you have only option to have casual dinner at the bar or snack round small tables. Also, the valet parking expectation is to have vehicle parked in some covered and secured area, we had to leave early morning, provided around 30 minutes notice and got vehicle covered with 6 inches of snow and freezing cold inside.
