The Centennial Fairy Tale of Edmonton Castle

In the heart of the Canadian Prairies stands a fairy-tale castle seemingly transported from Europe—the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. Since opening in 1915, it has witnessed Edmonton’s prosperous transformation from an "oil town" to the "Gateway to the North." 🏰 Castle-style architecture, reminiscent of old English manors 🌲 The hotel garden overlooks the Saskatchewan River Valley, a picturesque scene in every season 🎶 The sound of piano music echoes in the lobby, evoking the elegance of the early 20th century 💫 The Romance of History Named after the French explorer Macdonald, this Fairmont hotel is Edmonton’s most iconic landmark. A century ago, it hosted nobles, politicians, and artists; a century later, it remains the city’s "living room." The red brick and stone exterior, steep rooflines, and English manor style quietly tell the story of the city’s evolution. Here, it’s not just a place to stay, but a step into the city’s history. Sitting on the terrace reading a book, time suddenly slows down. The natural scenery weaves more than just moments of a journey— it feels like an encounter between art and life. Whether it’s the romance of the winter aurora or the passion of the summer music festival, Macdonald is the best starting point to understand Edmonton💓
