Virgin Holidays View
The Fairmont first opened its doors to guests in 1914 as one of the Canadian Pacific Railroad Hotels. Today it’s one of Calgary’s landmark buildings, offering a superb range of amenities and luxury accommodation in the heart of downtown. Dining at the Rimrock is essential whilst here, an incredible Tudor-style restaurant with barrelled ceilings and massive stone fireplace. Serving classic regional cuisine, it also hosts Death by Chocolate every Monday evening with delights including a fountain cascading with chocolate, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate pizza, chocolate pate and much, much more! As if that’s not enough, don’t miss out on the hotel’s award-winning Sunday Brunch either, served in the grand lobby and accompanied by live piano music – book early to avoid disappointment. For drinks and entertainment, there’s the Oak Room, a cosmopolitan meeting space, serving tapas and cocktails along with some very cool jazz. If you want to pamper yourself, Senses Salon and Spa offers the latest beauty treatments whilst the Boulevard Club features a eucalyptus steam room, 12-person spa and an indoor heated swimming pool.
