Review from Crystal H.
Vancouver, BC
5/7/2012 3 Check-ins Here
If I could give 10 stars, 100 stars, 1000 stars, I think I would. Where to start?
The felt wall/art behind the front desk, naturally. From that moment on I knew I loved it here. Upstairs to my room with it's gorgeous rainshower head and rubbery (non slip) rock tiles, it's peekaboo frosted glass window and a wall full of mirrors and you basically have the bathroom of my dreams. I have never been cleaner in all of my life, all because I just had to take advantage of that shower!
Onto the rest of the room with it's awesome walk-in closet (sans door), complete with a built in shelf to rest your luggage on. Why doesn't every hotel have this? The hidden bank of outlets next to the desk, the view of downtown Calgary, the purple love seat at the foot of the bed. Yes I said purple. It was love at first sit.
And then, there's the bed. I haven't slept this well in ages. The heavy blankets are magically not too warm and the linens make my sheets at home feel like rags. I may or may not have told the front desk that I wanted to move in, permanently. There's just something about Le Germain, because somehow, it inspired me enough to get off my butt and into the gym twice in two days. Perhaps it was the sweeping views of downtown from the top floor gym that did it for me.
I was lucky enough to have a weekend deal that came with complimentary breakfast on the 2nd floor. But honestly, I think I would have paid for it. It was quite a spread: a full brimming bowl of strawberries, another with mixed seasonal fruits, hard boiled eggs, an assortment of cheeses, plus the usual suspects: bagels, pastries, bread, cereal etc. Speciality coffees are available by request.
Needless to say, I'm one helluva fan of Le Germain. The only question I have now, when can I come back? -

I was traveling with my fiance and we wanted to stay in a really nice hotel. We had looked at the Le Germain website and thought it looked amazing. It certainly didn't disappoint. I originally booked a deluxe room, but to our surprise and joy we were told we had been upgraded to the luxury room upon checking in.
The front desk staff were great. Very professional and personable. Once we got to the room our jaws dropped. We walked around looking at all the amazing details of the room. I could go on and on. It has a clean modern look which we both love. All the little details just made the stay so memorable. Espresso, chocolates, bath robes.. the list is long.
The best feature of the luxury room is the soaker tub. One of the coolest features I have ever seen is how the tub fills. From the ceiling!! It scared the heck out of us at first, but just had to laugh at how neat that was. My fiance was in heaven in that bathroom. Pretty much our dream bathroom.
There are a number of great restaurants around the hotel. We decided to have dinner and drinks at Milestones which is less than a block from the main entrance.
If there was any downside to the hotel, its the parking. It is quite expensive, even for the self park. $31 for roughly 16 hours parking. But its downtown, so its to be expected.
I can see why this hotel is ranked #1. Easily beats any other hotel in Calgary. Great place for a relaxing romantic getaway in the city. -

What A Beautiful Hotel! The staff was great and the rooms are really fantastic. The design is very modern. We live in Calgary and used it as a 'staycation' and we weren't disappointed.

Review from Steven v.
Great hotel right downtown Calgary. Modern spacious rooms, comfy bed linen, powerful showers, Nespresso coffee machine in your room. Breakfast is OK and nothing special. Room service has limited operating hours, but this is to be extended over time. All in all best place in town!
