“The James Hotel emphasizes its luxury boutique experience, and from what I gather, it succeeds. Its location along the South Saskatchewan River promises scenic views, especially from the lobby bar, while the contemporary suites, with thoughtful touches like wet bars, suggest a commitment to comfort. The chef-attended breakfast, with its changing daily menu, stands out as a particularly appealing perk.”
