What we love about this stay
Request a room with French doors facing the Bow River — the morning light pours in with a quality you won't find on the city side, and the sound of the water at dawn is worth the ask alone. At Oxbow, skip the obvious dinner rush and come for breakfast instead; the re-interpreted comfort dishes land better when the room is quieter and the light through those windows is golden. Grab one of the Italian leather chairs by the lobby fireplace around five o'clock — it's the hotel's best-kept decompression ritual, and the art on the walls actually rewards a slow look. Kensington's gallery row is steps away, but let the concierge steer you to the lesser-known spots rather than defaulting to the obvious ones. This is a property that reveals itself to guests who slow down.

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.

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 very quiet and extremely comfortable. The Continental breakfast had a lovely selection of high quality meats and a variety of gourmet cheeses, fresh
