Trip Planning & Itineraries

Those expecting Canada to be a blander version of the US should check their assumptions at the door. Canada's wild northern frontier, which has etched itself into the national psyche, and its distinct patchwork of peoples have created a country that is decidedly different from its brash neighbor.

It's the edginess between Canada's indigenous, French and British traditions that gives the nation its complex three-dimensional character. Add to this a constant infusion of US culture and a plethora of traditions brought by migrants, and you have a thriving multicultural society.

Fairmont Palliser

When Queen Elizabeth drops by Calgary, she stays at this grand Canada Pacific Railroad hotel. Dating from 1914, Calgary's classiest hotel offers 405 elegantly updated rooms and suites varying greatly in size. Today it hosts everyone from queens to world leaders, celebrities to folks willing to blow a little cash in order to experience a Calgary from a different era.

Bonaparte Inn

Wrought-iron beds and Louis Philippe furnishings lend a suitably Napoleonic touch to this historic inn, a former judge's residence. Rooms are decorated in a warm European style and either overlook cloistered gardens, romantic cobblestones, or the Basilique Notre Dame. Breakfast is served in the fine Bonaparte Restaurant, which has been done up in Napoleonic Imperial style. Also visit the rooftop courtyard which is a good spot for photos.

Fallsview Plaza Hotel

For those who don't mind viewing the spectacular Falls from the comfort of the hotel, there is virtually no need to ever leave the premises. Easy access to the new Fallsview Casino is only an enclosed glass walkway away. Coffee shops, dining rooms, a game room, nightclubs, and a lavish ballroom are all under one roof, leaving no need unattended.
