When we lived in Calgary we treated ourselves to a king suite on the gold club floor for a week every year at our anniversary. Seeing this is making me miss it, we'll have to think about travelling back to Calgary this year.
@@trav4oilers I don't think maybe, I think must. You have a bright future no matter what direction you take. I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines!
Born and raised in Winnipeg! Heard you on CJOB this morning and the Grand Hotel series so I subscribed. Awesome video, can't wait for more...thank you!! 🙂
June thank you so much and glad you heard me on the station :) hope you love the other episodes including the Royal York going up on sunday. I'm biased but I think next sundays is the best episode in the series :)
Might have to give the Pallister another shot. We spent a night there during the renovation and our room was definitely not one of the upgraded rooms. Looked about the size of yours but it was a dump. The bathroom was so small you had to squeeze in front of the toilet to close the door. We could hear drunks yelling all night. In fact the whole hotel looked pretty grungy. We ate in a room that looked like a basement storage room. Not very pleasant and the food was awful. I couldn’t wait to leave.
I stayed there last night. The rooms are still outdated and the bathrooms are still small. There was mold between tiles in the bathroom and a big stain of what looks like blood on my bed sheet. I don't recommend wasting your money.
@@trav4oilers Yes been in both Calgary and Toronto’s CN tower, many decades ago. Toronto makes one feel like you are going into space, with the speed you get there. 😉
Anthony Hopkins stayed there.I spoke to one of the ladies at the front desk about it and she said he would go in the lounge and read a book from front to back and then retire for the evening.She also said that the staff at the front desk would call him Anthony he always insisted they call him Tony.
thats a really cool story! Thanks for watching my friend, you should check out the other episodes in my railway hotel series across canada covering the story of our country, the passenger service that no longer exists and how the railway hotels built it!
That’s a good deal. I just did a 12 day road trip to Lake Tahoe, CA and back to Orange County, Ca and the rates were anywhere from 200-350 $ per night and that’s USD.
Hey thanks for watching Martin! I wish. Empress wasn't quite in the budget this year since this entire series is self funded but I will be doing it next year as well as 8-9 more railway hotels for next summer :) hope you enjoyed this video and the rest of the series

Join me for my captivating 2 night stay inside Calgary’s Palatial palace, From a historic culinary experience you won’t expect, to the century old stories of Calgary’s grand railway hotel. Would you stay here?
Well done! I did think some of the editing is way too fast resulting in video that flashes before the eye and is missed if you blink. I also notice there doesn't appear to be credit given to video sources you are using. I recognise a few very quick clips from a previous documentariy done on CP's The Canadian.
Hey Will, thanks for watching. I'm still trying to balance the fast / slow edit style so appreciate the feedback. All footage in these videos has been credited to the appropriate owners and I've confirmed with them. If i missed anything let me know. Hope you love the rest of the series :)
Great job 👏🏽 I really enjoyed. Don’t forget a lot of people lost in making possible during the track construction. Can’t wait to the rest of them as well can’t wait for hockey stuff as well.💚💚💚🇨🇦
When I worked on the railroad our foreman used to say “your walking on a chinaman’s grave! “ We owe a lot to the Chinese immigrants who helped build our railroads. Apparently if one of the men died they got buried on the spot often under the track.
Thank you for supporting my series across the grand railway hotels of Canada. This series will run till the end of August with future stops in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Jasper! Excited to hear your feedback in the comments below. Where should I stay next?
I'm gonna have to slow it down for the new videos. Have you had a chance to watch the rest of my railway hotel series? I'm working on new episodes as we speak :) thanks for watching!

Thanks Trav, I had no idea the Palliser existed and its great learning some of the history behind it.
Now you do, thanks for watching man :)
I honestly love your narration of this series. Well done Trav,
My friend, love it! Thanks for watching. Maybe a future travel series just like this one day!

Easily the most cost effective hotel if that's what you want to try ;)

And there goes the canon ball. Glad you got to experience another sweet hotel, the beds sure looked comfy !
It may become a staple here ;)
I will need to share this with my many nieces and nephews living in Calgary. Spend a weekend there people. 🎉
Visit the calgary tower too! So many things to do
@@trav4oilers

I did last night It's not worth it. There are much better hotels in Calgary at the same or even slightly lower prices.

Smoking deal and a seriously special place! Thanks for watching, do you have a favourite episode in the series so far?
Will the Empress in Victoria be part of this series?

Living in Edmonton we go to Cow Town on occasion. We've never stayed at The Palliser. We'll definitely keep this hotel in mind on our next visit!!!
You absolutely have to stay there! I just did a video on the hotel macdonald you'll love :)
I stayed there last night and it's a pretty dated and tired hotel. There are better hotels in Calgary at a similar price.
Boy, if I had a dollar for every time I said,” I need to re hydrate my skin before I have lunch”………………..I’d have zero dollars 😁
Not so much before dinner, but after the freezing and dry winter outside the hotel ;)
Still loving this series.
Do you have a favourite so far? Thanks for watching man : )
@@trav4oilers waiting on it all to judge fairly.
Having a history degree, I appreciate how you share those stories!

Cool
Appreciate the coverage, but there's only room for one "Trav" in Calgary...
LEGENDARY comment. Thanks for watching man, hope you check out the Edmonton episode at the hotel macdonald too. You got a great name btw

So much too it. Thank you Ross, only 7 more episodes to go ;)
@@trav4oilers that’s awesome great small part of Canadian history. Wish I could have meet you when you were in Montreal, maybe next time around 💚💚💚🇨🇦

@@bobsmith-jk3fx unfortunately a lot have died there back in force (slavery) days. One died replace by 5 more 😔 I heard the same
Trav the history major
In the works my friend ;)
Ive stayed at the Palliser dozens of times. The clam chowder is nothing special. The menu as a whole is underwhelming.
damn! Have you had a chance to watch the rest of my railway hotel series? I'm working on new episodes as we speak :) thanks for watching!

Well you already came to Calgary so yeah I’m happy 😅
Cow town baby!
Frontenac for sure. I was just in Quebec city and wow is it cool to see the old history and feel.
“ Trav4Hotels “
Hey it's got a funky ring to it ;)
@@trav4oilers haha something different, been watching you since the junior B videos keep up the good work
Hockey career is over now?

@@trav4oilers 👍 make that money!
You’re videos spin way to fast 😵💫
I'm gonna have to slow it down for the new videos. Have you had a chance to watch the rest of my railway hotel series? I'm working on new episodes as we speak :) thanks for watching!
