Pop open that bottle of champagne and fire up the Jacuzzi jets – who says you need an elaborate romantic getaway to enjoy some alone time with your significant other?
Imagine this: a quiet evening with your loved one at a Jacuzzi hotel in Edmonton. You order room service (a plate of charcuterie), pour some bubbly, and slide into a steaming hot bath. Just you, your partner, and all the time in the world. The hardest decision you’ll make all evening is what to order for dessert.
In the middle of the shopping hustle-and-bustle of the West Edmonton Mall, one of the world’s biggest shopping malls, you’ll find a peaceful oasis within the Fantasyland Hotel. The name says it all: these themed rooms have unique and quirky personalities. You have your pick of more fairy-tale styling, like the Roman room with a Jacuzzi surrounded in tall mirrors,or more playful themes, like the Luxury Truck room with a fold-out futon in the cab.
But for the best intimate experience, go with the Polynesian room, where water cascades over lava rock and into the two-person Jacuzzi. You’ll also love the Canadian Cabin room, where you can enjoy the Jacuzzi in front of the fireplace before climbing into your king size log-style bed. There are some decidedly sexier rooms as well, like the Hollywood Room with its black leather furnishings, dim mood lighting, and, well, a pole right in the center of the room.
Even better? Being in the heart of the West Edmonton Mall means you’ll have access to all of its shopping opportunities and entertainment options, like the water park and the Starlight Casino.
Sawridge is an affordable luxury hotel with Jacuzzi suites ideal for the couple that wants to spend most of their time relaxing in the privacy of their room.
If you book the master Jacuzzi suite with its spacious two rooms and king bed, you’ll feel like you never left home. There’s also a glass stand-up shower and a wet bar.

When you stay here, you’re also just a short distance from the city’s arts district, on Old Strathcona’s Whyte Avenue. (Bonus: this hotel is dog friendly, and the breakfast buffet is included!)
A list of Edmonton hotels wouldn’t be complete without a Fairmont. This classic hotel group is the embodiment of luxury (their properties resemble castles more than hotels), and you’ll find one in many of Canada’s major cities.
At the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald you can take advantage of the hotel’s Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and 40-foot saline swimming pool. To add some extra romance, book a massage for you and your partner before heading to the regal Royal Tea (hosted on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30pm) in the Harvest Room.
After your full-on white chocolate scones topped with Devonshire cream, a full tray of desserts, and copious cups of tea (or mimosas, if that’s your style) head back to the whirlpool for another soak. If you stay on the Gold Floor, you’ll get access to the private lounge and snack bar. Treat yourself!
The Radisson Hotel & Convention Centre has a cozy, cabin-like interior with bright and colorful rooms. The Whirlpool Suite is ideal for your romantic rendezvous, with luxurious furnishings and a large Jacuzzi to relax in during the evening.

If you’re the kind of power couple who likes to stay fit even on holiday, this Radisson has a well-equipped fitness room, indoor swimming pool, steam room, and a public hot tub for when you want to get out of your privacy zone. Business or pleasure, it doesn’t matter — take advantage of the downtime, and spend it with your loved one.
The Comfort Inn & Suites Downtown Edmonton is your ultra-casual but high-quality accommodation in the heart of the city. If you’re on a budget but still seeking some special alone time with your partner, this is it.

There’s a lot going on around the hotel as well, so take advantage of the Cocktail Hour and the billiard room when you need to get out of the room for a bit.
Otherwise, you can truly retreat from the world here – put the “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door, turn on those jets, and enjoy a night of bliss with your S.O.
With its contemporary natural wood furnishings, textured upholstery, and eclectic artwork from around the world, Metterra Hotel is ideal for the young-at-heart couple interested in new experiences.

Get tipsy on handcrafted cocktails and fine Okanagan wines before heading back to your little slice of heaven.
Union Bank Inn is a premiere boutique hotel in downtown Edmonton, dressed in natural colours and full of rich history from its heyday as the Union Bank. It’s easily one of the most luxurious hotels in Edmonton; there’s a reason (or several) why this place is so popular among newlyweds.
Their most charming rooms are the Heritage Suites, each with their own character, but also with jetted tubs, beautiful fireplaces, and plenty of historical detail to really give the space an ultra luxurious touch. There are four different rooms to choose from, so if you’re seeking something in particular, enquire upon booking.
The Carlyle with its four-poster bed is particularly noteworthy, but so is the Newbury with its intricately carved bed. When the weather’s right, grab a cocktail on the terrace overlooking Downtown Edmonton and luxuriate in the warm sun.
The icing on the cake? Wine and cheese are delivered daily.
At the Four Points by Sheraton you can escape the cold northern temperatures in your studio suite with its built-in Jacuzzi and fireplace (or if it’s the height of summer, simply enjoy the bubbles!).
Quiet, calm, and restorative, your suite will give you and your loved one the best possible city escape – all you have to do is switch on the fireplace and climb into your Jacuzzi. The suite is large and comes with a unbelievably comfortable king bed and panoramic views over Edmonton.
Later, get suited up and head to the hotel’s East 75 Restaurant and Lounge for dinner, or enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere at the Duke of Argyll Pub.
When your main priority is to have some fun, the Best Western Plus City Centre Inn is a great place to do it. Not only can you book a Jacuzzi suite with all the comforts of home (refrigerator and seating area included), but there’s an indoor heated saltwater pool and waterslide -and it’s not just for children!
The Runway 29 Lounge has a great cocktail menu, so enjoy a tipple before a swim, a few rounds on the waterslide, and then an all-night soak in your private Jacuzzi.
This hotel is definitely for the couple that still have a fun streak, and being located centre city means you’re just a short hop from Edmonton’s nightlife and dining options, as well as the Rogers Place where you can catch an NHL game with the city’s home team, the Edmonton Oilers.
