The Alberta Hotel, originally built 1888-90 is a sandstone retail and commercial building within
the Stephen Avenue National Historic District of downtown Calgary. The three storey, ltalianatestyle, landmark building occupies a corner location at one of downtown’s busiest intersections. The
building also incorporates a 1906 Classical Revival-style annex and 1891 rear addition. The earliest
part of the building is distinguished by its rock-faced exterior, roundheaded windows and ornamental
metal cornice, while the annex is defined by a smooth-finished, ashlar facade.

The Alberta Hotel is symbolically important for its central association with Calgary’s pioneer-era
history, being the city’s pre-eminent hostelry and its oldest remaining hotel building. Occupying the
corner of one of downtown Calgary’s most prominent intersections this sandstone landmark served
as Calgary’s most famed hotel until its closing in 1916. For most of the building’s history as a hotel
it claimed the status the the best hotel in the city and was a social crossroads. During this period
the hotel was the preferred lodging and gathering place for well-to-do ranchers, businessmen, local
personalities and remittance men. Apart from the superior accommodations provided by the hotel,
its other drawing cards included an excellent dining room, a favored barbershop, a pool and billiards
room, a reading room and a renowned beverage room famous for its 125 foot-long bar-supposedly
the longest between Winnipeg and Vancouver. Some of the well-known cattlemen and personalities
that regularly patronized the Alberta Hotel included George Lane owner of the Bar-U Ranch; Fred
Stimson, manager of the Bar-U; brewer A.E. Cross; rancher, William Roper Hull; and meatpacking
king Pat Burns. It is reputed that the idea of the Calgary Stampede was conceived in Lane’s room here
in 1912. RB. Bennett an important Calgary attorney and later Prime Minister of Canada (1930-35)
lived in the hotel for 22 years and dined at the same table daily.

The street was named after George Stephen, 1st Baron Mount Stephen the first president
of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Stephen Avenue contains a high concentration of registered
historic buildings and the street itself was declared a Canadian Historic District in 2002. Many of
these building are made of sandstone that was quarried locally from the Paskapoo Formation.
Sandstone construction resulted in fire-resistant buildings following a fire in 1886 that damaged
many of the city’s earlier wooden structures.

This is the special place in Calgary that blends the city’s vibrant growth with its historic past
surrounded by the corporate office towers of Calgary’s downtown core. Turn of the century
sandstone buildings co-exist with the modern structures of the city’s booming corporate
community and arts districts. Stephen Avenue is a mecca for shopping, dining, entertainment
and the arts for both Calgarians and tourists alike. High-end retailers, department stores, martini
bars, pubs and restaurants blend in with the buskers and specialty retail shops catering to over
130,000 downtown workers and over seven million tourists that visit Calgary each year.
