Calgary
This boutique hotel plays hard on the fact that it's not part of an international chain. Aimed at travelers with an aesthetic eye, there are hardwood floors, thread counts Egyptians would be envious of, and art on the walls that could be in a gallery. Standard king rooms are small but well designed with rain shower heads and blackout curtains.
The central, outdoor pool is lovely (but seasonal!) and there are fab restaurants on-site.
