About this property
Contemporary Oasis in the Heart of Old Strathcona
Summary:
Cook on quartz countertops in a kitchen with leafy views. Soak in a unique custom trough tub. Gold, brass, and muted orange and yellow accents sync with a living room’s striking statement wallpaper. Step out to the area’s vibrant, tree-lined streets.
The Space:
Your safety is our first priority. We have implemented enhanced cleaning and disinfecting routines in our suites and common areas. We have always been known for sparking clean spaces and have now taken it to the next level.
Step out from your private entrance and you'll be greeted by the quiet old growth tree-lined streets of Edmonton's most desirable neighbourhood (rated #1 by Avenue Magazine five years in a row).
Come home to a relaxing oasis after a day exploring Edmonton. Whether you want to relax on one of the plush beds, read a book by the large windows or cook a gourmet meal in the large kitchen, this suite has everything you need to enjoy your visit.
Your full kitchen includes quartz countertops, a stainless steel stove, microwave, fridge and sink along with kitchenware, glasses, mugs, dishes and cutlery. We didn't skimp on quality, and a selection of fine spices, herbs and seasonings from The Silk Road Spice Merchant are available for use during your stay.
Complimentary wifi, TV with Netflix, tea and fresh locally-roasted Transcend Coffee. Fresh linens, towels and robes ensure your comfort.
