“Varscona Hotel On Whyte strikes me as a charming, refurbished property with character, especially appealing for its prime location on Whyte Avenue near eclectic shops and dining. I appreciate the hotel's unique enhancements, such as weighted blankets and aromatherapy shower melts, plus little perks like complimentary wine and cheese nights. To me, this hotel balances its older roots with contemporary, personalized service.”
