An exclusive look at the newly-renovated pool and patio at Hotel Arts

Calgary’s hottest amenity is back, and it’s even hotter than ever! Guests at Hotel Arts have the opportunity to sip on designer cocktails, snack on bites by an award-winning culinary team, and chill poolside while soaking in the rays. Their newly renovated poolside patio is the urban oasis you’ve been waiting for.

They’ve transported South Beach to the North with a posh atmosphere, luxury furnishings, and glam design. A hint of zen from an Indonesian Batu wood wall and a lush green plant wall by the bar will have you forgetting your worries in no time.

When you need a quick swim break, definitely make sure to check out Poolside’s brand new menu. Loaded with crafted libations and tasty eats, you’ll be re-energized in no time. If you’re looking for a new bevy to sip on all summer, introduce yourself to The Zia. It’s made using El Tequileño 100% Estate Agave from the Highland of Jalisco, and it’s also Calgary owned! If you want to stick with a classic, we recommend the Pineapple Mojito. Honestly, life is always best with one of those in your hand.

We haven’t even gotten to the best part! This urban reprieve is accessible year-round! Yes, you heard that right. All. Year. Round. Come fall, the poolside patio will be protected from the elements by an inflatable, illuminated canvas structure. Don’t worry, this won’t be the polar bear plunge. With heated tiles, fire tables, and lamp heaters, you’ll be chilling sans snow, regardless of the weather.

Access is coveted, and for good reason! If there is availability, non-hotel guests can access the pool for a fee and on a first-come-first-serve basis. For guests of Hotel Arts Downtown and Kensington, pool access is complimentary!

So, moral of the story? Book your stay quick so you don’t miss out on this tropical oasis, nestled in the heart of downtown! The pool is just one of the many great amenities Hotel Arts has to offer.
