This is a gorgeous boutique hotel in the vibrant Kensington neighborhood of Calgary. The rooms are spacious and impeccably furnished. The bathroom is large and beautifully designed.

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.

Charles, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
