Area Guide
Edmonton, Alberta's capital city has, become a vibrant cultural
center, a renowned sporting force and a thriving tourist
destination. Downtown Edmonton sits high upon a bluff overlooking
the North Saskatchewan River, its banks protected from development
by the longest stretch of urban green space in North America. The
city center is an intriguing tangle of modern high-rise skyscrapers
and historic stone buildings, book-ended by imposing government
buildings to the west and Refinery Row - an integral part of the
Edmonton skyline - to the east.
Picturesque outdoor cafes, eclectic art vendors and studios, and
boutique shops line the exciting streets near this Edmonton
suite hotel. Visit one of the 280 stores located in the
Edmonton City Centre shopping mall just a quick walk from the
hotel. Stroll over to Sir Winston Churchill Square and enjoy a
variety of events and festivals which celebrate our diverse
cultures. Wander through Chinatown and take in the ambiance and
culture of the people that work and live there.
Take a leisurely stroll over to the Alberta Legislature, the seat
of Alberta’s provincial government and the
province’s foremost historical building. This beautiful
Edwardian building was built in 1912 on the site of the original
Fort Edmonton and is located just 5 minutes from
Coast Edmonton House. Enjoy a free Alberta Legislature
building tour. The beautiful landscaped grounds of the Alberta
Legislature offer flowers, fountains and pools in summer and a
skating rink in the winter.
Beneath its big city sky line, Edmonton offers much more than the
fast paced life of a business hub. Culture and charm abound and
European and Asian flare and lifestyle live on in the local people,
architecture, and history of this extraordinary traveling
destination.
