The Palliser (now the Fairmont Palliser, but everyone just says the Palliser) is Calgary's old CP Rail Hotel. It's attached to the west side of the Calgary Tower.
The Canadian Pacific Hotels were the grand old ladies of Canada's railroad heyday. The Banff Springs, the Chateau Lake Louise, the Empress in Victoria, these have always been beautiful places to stay, chosen for their locations, and fitted out in top-notch elegance.
The Palliser is gorgeous, has great food, is located downtown within walking distance of everything, and is really Calgary's only fine old hotel.
I love it, and so does Queen Elizabeth. In fact, I saw the Queen at the Palliser Hotel in 1990 and she looked very well-rested.
Nuff said.
