The only thing i didnt enjoy was the bed, everything else about this hotel and its location is great. The bed was just real firm, ultra firm. And i guess the shower pressure was kinda sad tbh but everything else was great

The rooms are fabulous, state of the art facility with modern European Design. The rooms are sound proof due to the German style concrete architecture. The nespresso machine was soooooo good! The bathroom comes with a Swiss Style Stone Absorption system so all the steam reduces quickly so there is no build up of dampness. The high tech smart TV was major centre piece. The bed was just amazing with Egyptian cotton and luxurious soap from Italy. When you consider other hotels that are made of cheap wood architecture, this hotels boasts the finest European decor with unmatched architectural sophistication. Best hotel in Calgary by far. Also the company had a "Le Germain" location downtown and another Alt location downtown, all equally as impressive. The gyn had everything you need for a good workout. The staff was so kind and exceptional.

Parking on the street is limited and hourly. Tickets are automatic if you stay past 2 hours. Hotel parking is $20 but there is really no choice but to pay it.
