Sleek concrete floors and three grand west-facing windows framed by 22 feet of original exposed brick, The Hemingway Room is simple yet bold, and undeniably charming.  Named after one of the great novelists and journalists of the twentieth-century, The Hemingway Room once housed the former workspace of Calgary's iconic alternative news publication - Fast Forward Weekly. As rich in character as the stories once written by Ernest himself, within these four walls we invite you to compose your event in our most dexterous of venues. 

The Hemingway Room is known for its versatility as a beautiful ‘raw canvas’ with its towering exposed brick walls, open layout and sleek concrete floors.

The Hemingway Room is adaptable to both social occasions such as parties, weddings and celebrations, as well as professional events, including strategic workshops, large meetings and networking gatherings.
