Cool Sanctuary, Nostalgic Charm in Old Strathcona

Summary:
Enjoy a gas stove and quartz countertops in a kitchen with leafy views. Indulge in the spa-like bathroom. Pops of colour and brass accent the honey tones of the hardwood floors. Step out to the area’s vibrant, tree-lined streets a short walk from restaurants and ravine walking paths. Air conditioning keeps you cool in the warm summer months!

The Space:
Your safety is our first priority. We have implemented enhanced cleaning and disinfecting routines in our suites and common areas. We have always been known for sparking clean spaces and have now taken it to the next level.

Step out from your private entrance and you'll be greeted by the quiet old growth tree-lined streets of Edmonton's most desirable neighbourhood (rated #1 by Avenue Magazine five years in a row).

Come home to a relaxing oasis after a day exploring Edmonton. Whether you want to relax on one of the plush beds, read a book by the large windows or cook a gourmet meal in the large kitchen, this suite has everything you need to enjoy your visit.

Your full kitchen includes quartz countertops, a white stainless steel gas stove, microwave, fridge and sink along with kitchenware, glasses, mugs, dishes and cutlery. We didn't skimp on quality, and a selection of fine spices, herbs and seasonings from The Silk Road Spice Merchant are available for use during your stay.

Complimentary wifi, TV with Netflix, tea and fresh locally-roasted Transcend Coffee. Fresh linens, towels and robes ensure your comfort.
