Expensive, but worth it.

This hotel is right downtown. We stayed for 2 nights over New Years Eve. The building is old and charming. The inside is gorgeous. We paid a lot of money for our room, the top tier, and we really enjoyed it. We locked ourselves in our room and didn’t come out until dinner. While we were at dinner (7:30pm), they made up our room. Pleasantly surprised at that! Great gym, super expensive room service but the cheeseburgers were fantastic! We would definitely go again when we feel like being spoiled.
Castle with great service

The Fairmont is a standout in the city and, I think, along with the JW make up the only 4/5 star hotels. Having visiting both, the Fairmont was much more relaxing and a nice place to spend a few days. The grounds are immaculate and the feel of the hotel is very old world castle with a laid back atmosphere. There is nice dining and bar options on site and there is a pub or two about 3 blocks away. Edmonton downtown seemed much quieter than we were expecting, but there were a few places nearby and a walk to the hockey game was easy. The deluxe river view room was a nice layout and had everything you'd expect for the price point. The service was incredible, leave for 5 minutes and the room was made up and clean. Just super attention to detail and timing. Only issue is there is construction starting around 9am on the facade and grounds outside of the river view rooms portion so it does get a little loud. I imagine much louder on the lower floors. May want a city view room for the time being, which doesn't face the noise.
