The Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton Edmonton West is a dependable west-end hotel for visitors who plan to spend time at West Edmonton Mall, drive to the mountains or travel with a car. The west side of Edmonton is a different experience from downtown: wide roads, big shopping centres and easy parking, rather than historic streets. If your priorities are space, simple booking and good value for a family, rather than walking between museums, this style of hotel offers a comfortable base at a fair mid-range price in a part of the city built around the car.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in west Edmonton, a short drive from West Edmonton Mall with its Galaxyland amusement park, World Waterpark and hundreds of shops and restaurants. Downtown, the Ice District and the river valley are around a twenty to thirty minute drive, depending on traffic, and the LRT and bus connections vary by location, so check the map before you book.
West Edmonton is also the natural side to start from if you are heading toward Jasper, the Rockies or Elk Island National Park, since it avoids the central traffic. A car is strongly recommended here, and parking is generally easier than downtown.
Rooms and facilities
Expect modern, practical rooms, typically with comfortable beds, a work desk and good connectivity, and suites or family layouts for groups. Hotels of this brand often include a fitness area, a pool and some form of breakfast, but inclusions change from time to time, so check when you book what your rate covers and whether parking is free. If you are travelling with children, ask for a room away from lifts and the pool, and for connecting rooms if you are travelling in a larger group.
Who it suits
Families heading to the mall and its attractions, road-trippers who want an easy overnight on the way to the mountains, and business visitors working in the west-end office and industrial areas. It also suits travellers who prefer a known brand and a simple booking. Good to know: if you want to visit the Royal Alberta Museum, the Ice District or the river valley without a car, a downtown hotel will be more convenient, so decide where most of your time will go.
Rates are often lower in winter, though Edmonton's winters are cold, so plan indoor activities and drive carefully. Peak times include summer holidays, school breaks and major mall events. Combine a stay here with a day at Galaxyland, a morning at Fort Edmonton Park in season and a relaxed evening back at the hotel.
