Hotel Description:
- Named after Captain John
Palliser (a Waterford, Ireland explorer who was with the
Hector Expedition in the 1850's) and designed by
architect Lawrence Gotch, the Palliser was built for a
mere 1.5 million dollars. Opened in 1914, the exterior
of the Palliser features "Edwardian
Commercial" architecture. Its unique E-shape
ensures that all guestrooms have outside views and
creates the appearance of three towers. Inside the
hotel, a wide variety of decors flow together to create
a luxurious and unique property - from the Tudor-style
Rimrock room, the Louis XIV Crystal Ballroom, the
Renaissance Revival lobby to the Art-Deco Penthouse, the
Palliser is a sumptuous visual feast. Boasting views of
the city, this stately sandstone structure has
consistently maintained its ranking as Calgary's most
elegant hotel. Ongoing renovation efforts have served
only to restore this heritage hotel to its original
grandeur.
