Fairmont Hotel Macdonald is a Hotel in Downtown Edmonton, set above the River Valley and close to Rogers Place, with the wider city center within easy reach. From this address, you can move through Edmonton with the calm of being near the action while staying slightly apart from it, in a setting that looks out over one of the city’s most recognizable landscapes.

Select rooms add city views, giving you a stronger sense of place at the end of the day. The feel is practical and composed, with details that support both a quick visit and a longer stay.
