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 Building is a hidden gem in the heart of Edmonton.

The Pendennis hotel was established in 1911, and, after a seventeen year renovation, opened again in 2020 as a commercial space, and 2023 as an events venue.

About the Event Space

The Ballroom can sit up to 150 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 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.
