This is Edmonton's castle on the river, the Hotel Macdonald. Join me for my captivating 2 night stay inside Edmonton's grand railway hotel. From a century old riverboat cruise, to a culinary experience, in natural beauty that surrounds it, while standing as a symbol of elegance in the river valley for over a century. Would you stay here?
