We asked Edmonton expert and Les Clefs d’Or Nella Mirante at The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald for her advice about winter festivals and Valentine’s Day in the city!
1. What’s your favourite winter festival to catch this time of year?
I love the Boardwalk Ice on Whyte and the return of the ice castles in Hawrelak Park.
2. Where is your go-to spot for pregame drinks before an Oilers game?
I definitely recommend Bodega on 103 Street for some cocktails and shared plates.
3. Where can you find a unique gift for a partner for Valentine’s Day?
Something unique and a perfect gift for your partner for Valentine’s Day is a little indulgence from Cookie Love!
4. Which restaurants do you recommend for families?
I highly recommend the Harvest Room or Sorrentino’s for family dining.
5. Where do you recommend visitors go to escape from the cold?
Escape the cold but still enjoy all the festivities of the winter season at the Glow Gardens.
Les Clefs d’Or Concierges have been opening doors for hotel guests in Canada since 1976, and today there are more than 150 members from coast to coast and more than 3,500 members worldwide! You can find Nella at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald.
