This boutique hotel has a prime perch on Whyte Avenue, the main street snaking through historic, artsy Old Strathcona. It’s an easy home base for exploring the dense concentration of indie fashion boutiques, music venues and hip restaurants, but also a mellow retreat from it all. In the King Suites, mix a nightcap at your own wet bar, warm up by the fireplace or decompress in the spa–style jetted bathtub.
