Our take

The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald trades on its setting above Edmonton's River Valley and its classic character, backed by a restaurant, a spa with massage services, an indoor pool and a hot tub. Rooms include a seating area and a flat-screen TV, and pets are accepted. With 8.7 across 262 reviews, I would recommend it for romantic getaways and wellness breaks; travellers wanting an ultra-modern boutique style may find it formal.

  • ✓Book a room with River Valley views for the most scenic experience, especially at sunset.
  • ✓Take advantage of the spa services and the indoor pool for a truly relaxing stay.
  • ✓Consider the weekend brunch at The Harvest Room for a taste of regional Canadian cuisine.

Why guests love it

Set above Edmonton's River Valley, the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald gives families a historic address with an indoor pool and a hot tub, welcome during a prairie winter. Rooms have a seating area and a flat-screen TV, useful when children need quiet time. Pets are accepted, the restaurant is on site, and parents can book a massage at the spa. I would choose it for a special family weekend rather than a budget stop. Guests rate it 8.7 across 262 reviews.
