Best hotel in Calgary

We stayed in 3 hotels during our Calgary/Banff trip and this property was the best place we stayed. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. It felt like very much at home vs. staying at a hotel. High end feel with a very good price. The area was vibrant and convenient. We will definitely stay here again.
