I booked this hotel due to the fact that my original choice, the Palliser, priced itself out of contention and Expedia offered a great deal for the Hotel Arts - it is a wonderful boutique hotel, close to shopping, dining, attractions, nightlife, etc... The staff were VERY courteous and friendly (front desk, valet parking, restaurant staff) and the presence of... more

Bad location. Bit scary going from hotel to the resturant area on 8th avenue. Pretentious and over-priced. Construction on-going at this time as they extend the hotel. Our second floor room faced onto a flat roof populated by construction workers - as a result the curtain was closed all the time. orst of all they have the audacity to charge... more

Check in was a breeze although the bell-hops were a bit demanding to take our... more

Only stayed for one night but was well impressed by the room and its decor. Very chic nice extras and a big TV. Air con was a bit noisy but beds comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space. more

Absolutely terrible hotel. Major construction going on all around it, and the "view" from our sliding glass door (which had no screen) was 100% construction. They were working until 10:00 at night, and started in again at 7:00 in the morning. LOUD! The noise from the hallway was consistent all night long too - very noisy doors opening and closing,... more

Hotel Arts in Calgary is a well designed, stylish, and clean hotel, but those are the only positive points I can say for the place. Our stay here went from bad to worse over the course of two nights. To begin with, we had problems checking in. We booked one night through Expedia, and then called to add a second... more

From the photos Hotel Arts looks really great, but when you get in your room you start realizing that things just aren't functional. Okay, let's start with the bathroom that is way too small. The head of the shower drops from the ceiling and is in the middle of the shower. What that means is that there is no dry... more

Have stayed at the hotel several times over the past two years. I do enjoy the boutique atmosphere of the hotel and stay here when the downtown hotels are out of price. Location is just south of downtown. It's a good starting point if you're headed to south Calgary. However, there is a transient population near the hotel and Job... more
