The Regent is a lovely hotel in the heart of Revelstoke. Check-in was fast and easy. We stayed in a recently renovated room, and while it is nice, I don’t feel reflects the elegance of what this hotel once was. The old photos on the walls are incredible and well placed, but that’s it, otherwise the walls are plain white - I would have excepted some ornate finishes or textured wallpaper that would then help the crown molding pop.
Because our room was newly renovated, when we entered it reeked of fresh paint. Opening the windows and turning on the air conditioner helped, but you’d think the hotel staff would ensure the rooms are good to have guests stay in after being renovated.
The bed was super super comfortable. Form but still plush, and so too were the pillow choices. Linens were also comfortable and very clean.
The styling of the shower was nice, but don’t believe it’s actually real tile which is a shame.
The breakfast in the morning was wonderful and had a few awesome warm dishes like hash towns and wraps which was a surprise. Other regular continental breakfast items were there too, but not too many options admittedly.
The pub in the hotel was also apparently the nightclub of the town with lots of people in and around the place with loud music.
I might stay here again if the price is right. I just don’t feel the hotel lives up to the elegance or royalty of the name and age of this hotel.
