Fairmont Hotel | ?m | ?s | Truman

Plot twist. What if the Fairmont is attached to Elbow River Casino along 17th Ave? Obviously ERC would require some serious renovations to become close to hosting such a hotel, but still wouldn't it be funny to have luxury hotels sandwiching Alpha house?

Others here have condemned Alpha house for their mere existence. Yet, I find that really odd when they when no one seems to disagree that their service isn't valuable, and they were there first. Its like the second level NIMBY - Its valuable, but I don't want it in my backyard even though I moved here after they were established.

Anyway, as a person who believes these things are better spread and mixed throughout the city in different types of hoods, I personally would love the Faimount to be so close to Alpha house for numerous reasons.

However, I am not getting my hopes up!

"Fairmont Calgary is a direct beneficiary of the Stampede Park transformation project, a major revitalization of Calgary's Culture and Entertainment District centered around the government funded $500 million expansion of its BMO Centre, completed in 2024...

...The project will bring together a world-class team of architects and designers to build and create the mixed-use building combining a Fairmont hotel with branded residences. The design concept will be announced, and the regulatory approvals process will be initiated in Q1 of 2026."
