Hotel Recommendations
You really can't go wrong with the options for Edmonton Hotels. We recommend choosing a downtown location - Edmonton is big, and so options elsewhere (such as West Edmonton Mall) are going to be very far away from us, and the venues! Here are some recommendations -
Chateau Lacombe
It might be an older building - but it's lovely inside, we stayed here on our first house hunting trip to Edmonton, and had a view room overlooking the river valley. Gorgeous views for sure!
Coast Edmonton Plaza
A modern, clean option right downtown.
Downtown Restaurant Recommendations
It'll be patio season downtown, so we recommend these spots!
Drunken Ox Sober Cat
A super cool cocktail spot, with an outdoor patio
Rocky Mountain Icehouse
A local bar for chill evening drinks
Seoul Fried Chicken
Big portions, reasonable prices, hot chicken!
Smoke BBQ
A restaurant bar with amazing BBQ eats! Great pulled pork.
Whyte Avenue is also a great destination, a young shopping and restaurant area, a short trip from downtown. Keep an eye out for The Mash pizzeria, Meat BBQ, El Cortez Mexican, and many more options!
