A little off the beaten path but still very central, Hotel Arts Kensington is my new go-to in Calgary. Having stayed at the other location a few times, I wanted to check out the new outpost and wasn't disappointed. Service was friendly and competent, cost was very reasonable and the daily breakfast delicious. The room was also very spacious and great for getting a solid night's sleep without interruption. Would also recommend the bike rental as the hotel is directly on the Bow River cycling path. The only drawback is that the restaurant/bar isn't open every night (at least when I was there).

The room was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. Well appointed with shelving and drawers which seem lately to be disappearing in other hotels. Amenities were fabulous. We would definitely return and stay here again. It was also my wife's birthday and the hotel went out of their way to make the occassion extra special. Thank you! She loved it.

Hotel Arts Kensington was the exact stay I wanted and beyond! The hotel exceeded my expectations from their vibrant and helpful staff, to their excellent continental breakfast. I selected the location based on being nearby a few sites I wanted to walk or bike to while in Calgary like the Peace bridge. Their location could not be more prime in the heart of Kensongton, which I came to adore. There were so many walkable sites and dining options. The hotel offered bikes and there was also a nearby e bike rental too. I was only there for 2 nights and felt like I had an experience and memories in such a short window to last a lifetime.
