An Award-Winning Building
So unique, you have to see it for yourself. Book a tour and experience the magic of the Pendennis!
Get lost in the charm of a building that was a hotel one hundred years ago, and has been brought back to life as an event venue on the third and fourth floor.
About the Building
The Pendennis Hotel was a hidden gem in the heart of Edmonton.
The Pendennis hotel was established in 1911, and had a very rich history before falling into disrepair. In 2003 the building was sold with the intention of restoring this beautiful river-facing property. After a seventeen year renovation, the Pendennis Building opened again in 2020 as a commercial space. We are honoured to say that in 2023, we are the first tenants in the space and want to restore some of it’s vibrant history. It was once at the heart of Edmonton’s night life, known for amazing dinners and wonderful parties. We look forward to creating our own history in the building and re-imaging the the space for todays’s Edmontonians.
About the Event Space
The Ballroom can sit up to 140 guests for a seated dinner. With bright, natural light, dimmable chandeliers, and a wall of historic brick, this ballroom is perfect for wedding ceremonies, receptions, corporate events, audience-style events like fashion shows, seminars, and more. Our cocktail bar is perfect for dance parties, networking events, and trainings. The Flex Room a unique space with an attached smoking balcony, and access to the patio which seats 140.
Our south facing balcony boasts stunning views of the river, the Muttart Conservatory, four of Edmonton’s bridges including the LRT bridge, and views of Downtown. Perfect for a family birthday, baby shower, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, or any party, the view and the experience, is unbelievable.
