The Hotel Selkirk

Take a step back in time as you enter the newly re-built Hotel Selkirk. This Edmonton landmark has been restored to its original state of grandeur, sitting on the corner of 1905 Street and 1920 Street in Fort Edmonton Park. Built in 1903, Hotel Selkirk stood at the corner of 101 Street and Jasper Avenue. This deluxe hotel was known for having the finest wines, liquors and cigars. Also, Hotel Selkirk was known for its famous clientele, including prominent musicians, actors, politicians and authors. On December 18, 1962, the hotel burned to the ground due to a fire which broke out in the equipment room on the second floor. Hotel Selkirk provides the perfect atmosphere for a magical and memorable experience in Edmonton’s beautiful river valley.
