This legendary Calgary hotel has graced the skyline for over 90 years.  The hotel opened as The Palliser on June 1, 1914 as a gateway hotel for the grand railway crossing Canada. The public areas were fitted with oak paneling, candelabras, marble columns and floors, handmade rugs and public art and was considered to be the most luxurious setting for any visitor to Calgary.  For the locals it quickly became THE hotel for the social scene.  Innovative for the time, ice water, along with hot and cold running water, was available in the 350 guest rooms, which featured mahogany doors, brass beds and windows. The hotel was named after Captain John Palliser, who explored the area in the 1850s.  The eight-floor building was enlarged in 1929, with another $30 million in renovations and restoration recently made.  Today, it is Calgary's historic luxury hotel and the place where many a "big oil" deal is made.

What do we like?  Evening cocktails in the famed Oak Room with the socialite oil tycoon locals and some light jazz.  That, and the easy downtown location.
