above, along with the famous Chateau Lake Louise
and Waterton Lakes Lodge, is a scene of Edmonton's
North Saskatchewan River Valley, site of One
Thornton Court the first hotel on our list. It is
located next to the"Hotel Macdonald," where we once
had an office.
 "This
spring following our participation at the
Yellowhead Trans Canada Highway Association's 56th
Annual Convention in Sherwood Park on the heels of
a hectic month overseas, we needed some quiet time
for rest and relaxation in Edmonton. A friend
recommended Thornton Court, and it was love at
first sight.
The spacious guest room off the main lobby and the
wide open layout of dining area and patio won my
heart immediately. So did the view (see river
valley scene in above photo sequence)The room
itself was another wonderful surprise and so was
the reasonable price. True value in these days when
that principle is not always the norm. We enjoyed
the hotel so much, I suggested that we stay an
extra two days." Jerry W. Bird, Editor
Here's what the
listing says, and every word is true. "An inspired
conversion of Edmonton's landmark federal building
named in honor of Sir Henry Thornton, president of
Canadian National Railway. With commanding views of
the river valley, centrally located in downtown
Edmonton's arts and entertainment district. Casual
Riverside Luxury. Bringing you the most modern of
conveniences. Unique in design, unparalleled in
service."
