Hotel Arts Kensington

The best hotel in Calgary for an intimate stay. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful- the perfect hidden gem. My husband and I stayed here during our wedding and it was the best experience ever. Thank you to Colin, Holly, Milissa and Miles. You guys made our wedding so memorable and our guests were blown away by how amazing your service was. Booking with you guys is the best thing we could have done.

We enjoyed our one week stay at the Hotel Arts Kensington! The location was ideal for us as we could walk to the home of who we were visiting in Calgary. Heated underground parking is provided. The area of Kensington has a wide variety of shops and restaurants which we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff are friendly and attentive. One of our favourite days was biking along the Bow River with the bicycles provided by Arts Hotel Kensington. Each bike was carefully cleaned by the staff and a helmet was included ... all complimentary. Our spacious room was spotless and very comfortable. We enjoyed the bath products that were also available in a shop found in the local neighbourhood . Although we didn’t use the fireplace, I could imagine enjoying it during a Winter visit. We would definitely recommend this lovely boutique hotel!

My hubby and I booked 2 nights here, as an anniversary getaway from the kids. The location is awesome! Especially if you like to go site seeing, enjoy taking photos, or love walking. This location has all of it! Hotel was super easy to find, has underground parking. The lady at the front desk was very professional and friendly. We booked the JR Suite room. When we got to our room, we did notice that there were crumbs on the top cover on the bed and there was also a toy ball beside the bed. So we asked to be moved to another room, however the next room we went into seemed a lot smaller than the first one. And that was super disappointing. So we asked if we could move our reservation to the sister hotel, which is located closer to downtown Calgary, and it was not a problem. Also, this hotel doesn't have a pool.

I cannot say enough about how amazing the team is at Hotel Arts. The hotel is a local favourite (take it from a Calgarian), well located, updated, boutique, and intimate, but what makes it really special are the people that work there - they are friendly, kind, understanding, and go above and beyond to ensure your stay is everything you hoped it would be. My husband and I stayed at Hotel Arts for our wedding and would recommend this venue for any special event. If you're looking for a team to help you plan, prepare, and execute - you've found them! The rooms are clean, reallllly spacious, and the larger suites have balconies that overlook the river. The hotel is located only blocks from coffee shops, restaurants, and shops. We will happily stay here again and can't wait to go back and eat at the Oxbow restaurant when the COVID restrictions are lifted.

Georgia helped us and she was wonderful very accommodating,checked us in right away and just added a few extra touches which were so lovely it was my birthday she put together a few little chocolates really made our stay wonderful. My brother lives right across the street it was so convenient that we could just have somewhere to park and somewhere to sleep that was so comfy . The shower was amazing and the shampoo and lotions were full size and awesome.
