The 1915 hotel has been dubbed a One-Key hotel by Michelin. The guide describes its One-Key award as a “very special stay” and includes recognition for hotels that offer “character, individuality and service that goes above and beyond.”

This year, Michelin added four Fairmont properties on their list of hotels, including Fairmont Hotel Macdonald and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

The riverside downtown hotel also received the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Award.

This award comes from guests who have stayed at the hotel.

Last year, the hotel unveiled a new look after a two-year renovation, including upgrades to 165 guest rooms.

“For more than a century, we’ve been proud to welcome travelers to Edmonton, offering experiences that celebrate our community’s warmth and spirit.”
