Hotel Overview:
Edmonton's "Chateau on the River"
For more than 100 years, Fairmont Hotel Macdonald has effortlessly delivered timeless luxury in the heart of downtown
Edmonton. Nestled upon the North Saskatchewan River Valley, the hotel’s charm and ever-evolving elegance has
earned it the spotlight as one of the city’s most sought-after locations. A storied past, an unparalleled present, and a
future to be reckoned with, Fairmont Hotel Macdonald has set the stage for luxury in the heart of the city. Edmonton’s
only four-diamond “Chateau on the River” offers unparalleled views of North America’s largest expanse of urban
parkland. Boasting dignified style and timeless grace, each of our 198 classically-designed guestrooms, including
specialty suites, are tastefully adorned with the finest amenities. In 2016, we forever changed the game in luxury as we
unveiled a completely re-designed Fairmont Gold & Lounge. Delivering personalized and discreet service, this hotel within
a hotel offers an unrivalled experience unlike any other the city has seen, and likely ever will. From seasonally inspired
menus to dining experiences that will satisfy any craving, see what our chefs are preparing in our Confederation Lounge
