Located in Calgary's arts district and convenient to the area's museums, galleries and theaters, Hotel Arts is close to the Telus Convention Centre and the Pengrowth Saddledome, the local performing-arts center. Nearby the Stephan Avenue entertainment district, the hotel is 20 minutes from Calgary International Airport.
A boutique hotel with an urban-chic motif, Hotel Arts is a contemporary property that showcases a rotating collection of modern art within its public spaces. The art's bright palette coupled with the warmth of the lobby's fireplace envelope guests at check-in. Grey art- deco furniture and a front desk with a stone façade complete the lobby's elegant look. On the building's second floor, fitness-minded visitors can work out in the hotel gym. For more dedicated athletes, access to nearby Talisman Centre can be arranged for a nominal fee. With rattan chairs, cabanas and large white umbrellas, the hotel's poolside area may trick guests into thinking they're not in Canada anymore. A poolside patio bar plates snacks and libations, including the chef's special, Piccolo Antipasti. Back inside Hotel Arts, MJ's Café and Eatery serves local fare all day, and an extensive wine list and relaxing vibe are offered at the hotel's neon-lit Wine Bar.
Inside the 188 newly restyled guestrooms, orchid plants extend vertically from the wall and so do flat-screen LCD televisions. Bathrooms are caressed by Carrera marble, and down duvets cover 1000-threadcount sheets. Ebony- colored wood furnishings round the décor out.
Hotel Arts artfully meshes Calgary's cultural scene with a boutique sensibility.
