Incredible hotel

Incredible service, incredible hotel. We booked this on the way up to Yellowknife, and had planned to be back in Edmonton for a few days at a different hotel. However, this hotel was amazing, so we changed and stayed here on our return trip! The staff realized we had been prior customers, so they planned a nice welcome for us on our return. I cannot rave enough about this hotel and the staff and the service.

Complete package of full service!

canadiankim29 (South Cooking Lake, Canada) on Apr 20, 2026

Our stay at Fairmont Hotel Macdonald was the staycation we were looking for! Our anniversary and birthdays were the special occasions to excuse ourselves. Every moment was attentive and seamless. Valet, checkin, spa service, housekeeping, and the lounge service and of course the resident pup Hendricks all felt top notch. We thoroughly enjoyed the ease and beauty of our stay. Our little pup also was completely content with the attention he got and loved the doggy bed! Our room 615 had beautiful river view. I enjoyed strolling and immersing the rich history of the hotel. Also the river valley access to the trails via the funicular made for lovely walks.

Beautiful hotel, excellent service, highly recommend

A beautiful hotel with old World charm, all recently renovated, clean and well staffed in all departments. Central location in the downtown makes it easy to access all areas from here. As high end hotel the prices are high end. Lovely pool, hot tub and sauna. Great excercise room with Peloton equipment. Squash court floor is a little loose in a couple of areas, but fixable.

Hotel McDonald- pure class

Patrick M (Edmonton, Canada) on Feb 08, 2026

We just enjoyed an amazing afternoon, evening and morning at our stay on the Gold floor with Concierge service at Hotel McDonald Beautiful facilities, great snacks and drinks for the afternoon and superb breakfast. The beds at this hotel are incredible. But what always makes a great stay, especially on the Concierge level, are their staff. A real big hats off too ReJean. He’s one of the most gracious and hospitable concierge‘s hosts we have had throughout our travels
