Stay Curious. Stay Varscona.
Step into the buzz of Whyte Avenue. Step back into boutique calm.
You check in, drop your bags, and step into Edmonton’s most walkable, colourful neighbourhood. Vintage shops, street festivals, late-night bites, mural alleys, and coffee shops to people watch from - it’s all right outside.
And when you're ready to exhale, Varscona is your retreat. Boutique rooms. Warm hospitality. A glass of wine waiting in the lounge.


Not Just on Whyte. Part of It.
From Fringe Festival stages to farmers’ markets, late-night jazz to alleyway murals - Old Strathcona is alive with creativity and character. It’s not just a neighbourhood you visit. It’s one you experience.
Wake up steps from pop-ups, pour-overs, and impromptu street performances. We’ll point you to the bookstore that serves bourbon, the speakeasy behind the record shop, and the best back lane for mural-spotting.

Ampersand 27: Alberta Flavour, Global Twist
Where Alberta-grown ingredients meet bold, worldly flavours - and the gin flows just right.
Start with a pre-show cocktail or wind down after a meeting. Stay for the share plates, linger for the conversation. As night falls, the lights dim, the mood shifts, and Whyte Ave hums just outside.

One of Edmonton’s best gin collections
