Sponsor a Room at the Hotel Selkirk!
Sponsoring a room in the Hotel Selkirk gives you the unique
opportunity to preserve your family's name and history in Fort
Edmonton Park, while supporting future projects within the
Park.
The original Hotel Selkirk, an Edmonton landmark for many years,
was located on the corner of 101 Street and Jasper Avenue.
Originally built in 1903, the Hotel Selkirk was first known as the
Windsor Hotel. Many of the guests were visitors of "means" and many
"people of note" were among the registrants.
The reconstructed Hotel Selkirk resides on the corner of 1905
and 1920 Street in Fort Edmonton Park. The Hotel Selkirk is fully
functional - complete with 28 Heritage Rooms, 2 Selkirk Suites,
Johnson's Cafe, and the Mahogany Bar. For the first time ever,
guests can spend the night in the Park - 1920s style. Each room in
the Hotel combines 1920s style and sophistication with a limited
number of modern amenities, such as private baths and telephone
access.
- Your Hotel Selkirk donation of $20,000 gives you the
opportunity to honour your own family heritage in the Hotel Selkirk
with the following benefits:
- Your family's history will be written and placed in your family
room for the enjoyment of room guests. Once we are in receipt of
all family histories a compilation of them will be published in the
Hotel Selkirk Family Histories commemorative book, which will be
available for purchase by the general public;
- A plaque bearing your family name (26 characters max, subject
to the approval of the Foundation) will be installed on the
exterior of the room door;
- A plaque bearing your donor name will be added under the
appropriate donor category to the donor wall on the Partner's Gate
