It's really too bad about this place. I liked the decor, design, and feel about it - it's unfortunate that the staff at this establishment don't seem to care about the experience that their guests are having. Our first impression was absolutely awful as the doorman was rude - we weren't sure we were at the right door as there... more

Ugh! How do they get away with this? Noisy like crazy, scary room service menu...I could go on but I won't. It's like the people who run the hotel have never actually traveled themselves and their only knowledge of service comes from cartoons and from old movies from childhood. Guys, if you want to stay in business: get better food,... more

We stayed there recently for a wedding, and were very unimpressed with this hotel. The Hotel Arts is currently under construction, and this was used as an excuse for everything from the small rooms to the fact that the bars in the hotel do not have draft beer (and charge over $8 for a bottle of domestic). The room was... more

The Hotel Arts is currently the only boutique hotel in Calgary and also the only hotel with an outdoor heated pool. The hotel opened about 3 years ago and it's been beautifully designed and filled with amazing art and furniture. We had a luxury king room which was big - not only did it have a big bed but it... more

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

Before flying back home to Toronto after skiing for a week in Banff, we wanted to make a quick stopover in Calgary. Booked the Hotel Arts online through expedia and got a great deal for a good hotel with a great location and great amenities. Check in was a breeze although the bell-hops were a bit demanding to take our... 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
