I had a tour of Crash Hotel recently just for fun. I was interested to see how this place has…read morechanged because I love the rebrand and think having a hotel DT that's a crash pad is the best idea ever. Let's start with downstairs, it's connected to Denizen Hall and you can get to the lobby directly from the car, at the other side of the lobby and reception desk is the old martini bar which has been renovated but they kept some cute features including the old mail box and a collection of amazing photographs of the hotel through the years. Heading upstairs I couldn't believe the size of the first floor. I was expecting ten rooms and I think he said it was 30 rooms! Insane. The rooms are small but this is a crash pad, buddy. You only need a bed, a bathroom, a mini bar and ear plugs. Seriously, they openly say they can't stop all the noise so expect a pair of earplugs on your pillow now a chocolate. This place has a lot of humour and I like it. Each room has either a spray painted mural, a wall of old trunk, a wall of speakers, Han Solo in carbonite and more quirky fun details. the second floor is still under construction but they kept the original hotel sign and that is on display in the stairwell. On the whole I think the concept is well thought out. Hope I can crash there some time. If not, I'll be back to the martini bar.

I come here for brunch every couple of years, probably since I've been about 14. I've never…read moreactually stayed at the hotel (because I live in Edmonton), but the brunch I've always remembered to be really good. Brunch is served in the Atrium Cafe which is a really nice location with lots of plants. Plants are good for your health and soul, so I like being around plants. So we decided to come here for Valentines Day. There is a pretty good brunch spread with everything from roast beef to breakfast cereal. There was also a white chocolate fondue and a lot of fruit for dipping. I got full so quickly there. The roast beef was extremely fatty, but everything else was really good. They were fast at getting the next round of food out when things ran out. I think the servers did a good job of getting to us and getting our drinks and plates cleared away. But it wasn't amazing service or anything. I think for $30 per person it should be a little bit better. I honestly think the price is too high.

This is an undiscovered Brunch gem of Edmonton! We had reservations for Sunday Brunch before…read moreHallowe'en and it did not disappoint! After parking (more on that later) and walking around to the front entrance of the hotel, stepping inside we were greeted by the buffet. Proceeding past the check in desk and the chef with the omelette station, through the buffet to to the hostess at the entrance of the dining room we were seated at a table for 2 at the back, although I'm not certain why, the dining room wasn't 1/2 filled, and during the hour we were there, did not fill up. We had reservations, made online for the earliest available time slot, 11am, but we could have arrived earlier. The spread... fabulous assortment of fruit, cheese, cold and hot foods, scrambled eggs, a fish, rice, bacon! Turkey (sans stuffing - served separately), carved beast. Desserts - oh my yes! Some uniquely themed for Hallowe'en. For the kids, poo emoji-style cupcakes - very accurate! And there was a chocolate fountain with fruit, marshmallows, trays of cookies, muffins, croissants... such choices! And an omelette bar... I was so full, there was no way I could manage another bite. Chef is allergy aware, although the foods were not individually marked for what they were safe. Chef did walk me through the buffet and as a celiac eating gluten free the food was pretty straightforward - almost everything was safe to eat, and it was pretty obvious what wasn't - stuffing, muffins etc. We noticed there were a number of mobility ramps to access the building, however none of the doors that met the ramps were open... not certain how someone with mobility needs would get inside as the main entrance has 2 steps up. Call ahead and make arrangements would be the best plan. And an added bonus tip! Did you know you could drive down into the park to the Hotel and park? I did not! Just watch for the signs, chat with the lovely folk manning the gatehouse, and toodle past the 1st stop sign and you'll see the red brick building and parking behind. There are a couple of bicycle racks too, but this Sunday was just too chilly for a ride to the park. There are 3 paved/concrete handicapped spots right next to the ramp, but... warning, it's a jaunt across an unpaved parking lot to get to the ramp.

I was lucky enough to be invited to try winter brunch at the Park recently, a weekly event held…read moreevery Sunday in Johnson's Café within Hotel Selkirk. Guests are required to pre-purchase tickets and reserve a place at each Sunday sitting, at which the hotel lays out the full gamut of delicious brunch offerings, from domestic and imported cheeses, to a full-service omelette station, regular brunch items like bacon and eggs, and a pork shoulder carving station complete with mustard, horseradish, and apple gravy sides (although I believe the carving station rotates its meat, since Linda had roast beef when she visited). The charm and rustic interior of the café adds a unique touch to the brunch experience, with solid wooden tables and the 1920s style of Hotel Selkirk. The quiet and classic environment of Fort Edmonton Park is a nice change from the bustle of our city. I was pleasantly impressed with the food, particularly the carvery pork shoulder. Among my favourites were the Guinness-braised beef ribs (not entirely gluten free but I couldn't help myself), the selection of cheeses, and a salmon fillet in a creamy sauce. There were so many delicious things to choose from that I filled my plate the first time around, leaving no room for a custom omelette--on my plate or in my stomach. The next time I visit, I plan on making a beeline to the omelette station at once. The dessert options were also endless. Fruit, homemade caramel fudge, cakes, mousse--everything looked amazing, with full bowls surrounding the hotel's main dessert centrepiece: the chocolate fountain. What's the perfect way to finish off a decadently indulgent brunch? Why, with freshly-made chocolate covered strawberries, of course. Of the dessert offerings, I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate mousse and the orange rosemary and pernod shooter (I don't usually like anise, but this was refreshing). While some brunch buffets really fail to push the boundaries of imagination in their selection, Hotel Selkirk does quite the opposite, offering a little gourmet something for everyone. Chefs were constantly coming out from the kitchen with new platters to replace dishes that were only half empty. The attentiveness to items like the scrambled eggs and the fruit was impressive--everything was kept fresh and well-stocked, never left out long enough to grow even slightly stale. The price is reasonable for an all-you-can-eat brunch buffet, as well. At $32.95 per person (adults), you get access to a delicious menu within a spacious and comfortable dining area--that's significantly less costly than brunch at La Ronde, with more room and a fresh, modern selection of food. If you have a special occasion coming up or just fancy an outstanding Sunday brunch, then Hotel Selkirk is the place to be!

When searching for a hotel in the area, I was impressed by the views and affordability. We picked…read morethe Standard King with a river view. And it was beautiful, I loved it. I loved the large windows which allowed natural lighting into our room. The curtains were heavy, pretty much black out curtains which let us sleep so well. I really liked the service we received here. Every employee we came in contact with was pleasant, polite, and so helpful. They were quick to tend to our needs and answer our questions. Before booking I inquired about having a mini fridge and we got a room which had that for us. Communicating at the front desk and messaging through the third party site I booked with went very well. However there were a couple things that could've been improved our experience. Our room was pretty much spotless when we arrived, but there was a red piece of hair left on the sink in the bathroom. Both my boyfriend and I have black hair. Also, I wish both bedside tables had outlets available. There were only outlets available on one side, and more outlets by the desk so it was a little inconvenient. Wifi had pretty slow moments, and sometimes the wifi would disconnect randomly so I'd have to wait for it to reconnect again. There was one night where the vent was blowing smelly air. We checked our bathroom, bathroom trash can, and I even questioned my boyfriend because of it, but we were certain it wasn't us or coming from our room. The smelly air would blow every 30 minutes or so when the vents would come on. We were contemplating on telling the front desk but it was so late at night, like 1:30 am and we were exhausted from the whole day. It was also our last night too before check out, and we weren't willing to move all our stuff to relocate if we needed to. We ended up falling asleep and didn't smell it again the next morning. Lastly before I checked in, my boyfriend and I kept calling the phone number but the line always sounded busy. We probably called like 7 or 8 times in one day spaced out. Luckily they're pretty good about responding on the third party site but it would be nice to call someone before arriving. We were in the Standard room but next time, I'd be willing to try rooms on the Concierge floor. Despite everything, I really loved the service and employees we came in contact with. It definitely was the most memorable part about staying here along with the view.
