Hotel at a Glance: Fairmont Hotel Macdonald
Built in 1915, the 4-star Fairmont Hotel Macdonald has been a recognizable fixture in the Edmonton skyline for over 100 years. But just next door, not visible in the sky, is another one of Edmonton’s claims to fame. The hotel overlooks The North Saskatchewan River Valley, North America’s largest urban parkway, where over 150 kilometers (about 93 miles) of trails offer plenty of places for jogging, biking, and nature walks.
- Grab your steak knife and dig into the AAA-rated Alberta beef on the menu at the on-site restaurant, The Harvest Room.
- Brunch with style at the 100-year-old Empire Ballroom during the hotel’s weekly Sunday brunch.
- Unwind by steaming yourself in the hotel’s sauna.
- Shop till you drop: Arguably Edmonton’s biggest draw is about 14 kilometers (about 9 miles) west of the hotel: the largest mall in North America, the West Edmonton Mall.
- Travel back in time at Fort Edmonton Park; there, costumed reenacters recreate what it might’ve been like to live in Edmonton in the fur-trading days.
Edmonton, Alberta: World-Class Architecture and North America’s Largest Shopping Mall
Surrounded largely by wilderness, Edmonton stands out with unique attractions and eye-grabbing architecture. The Art Gallery of Alberta, for instance, houses 6,000 pieces of art within swirling walls of glass and metal. This futuristic gallery overlooks the charming Sir Winston Churchill Square, where you can spot the Edmonton City Hall building’s Louvre-esque glass pyramid. Edmonton is also home to the Royal Alberta Museum, which features the world’s largest collection of insects, as well as exhibits dedicated to the area’s aboriginal culture and history.
About 20 minutes outside of the city center lies Edmonton’s biggest claim to fame: the West Edmonton Mall. At a whopping 5.3 million square feet, it’s the largest mall in North America. After exploring more than 800 stores and 100 dining options, shoppers can cap off their visit with some family-friendly fun at the ice-skating rink, water park, or blacklight mini-golf course.
