The Alt Brings you Art and the Great Outdoors
Two things that are essential to the enjoyment and enlightenment of life: art and nature. The Alt Hotel in Saskatoon wants to make it easy for you to enjoy both of these since we are so blessed to have them thriving in our city. Whether you are feeling introspective and open-minded, or energetic and in desperate need of exercise (like me!), consider offers and packages that will fill your heart, mind, and lungs with what you crave!
Art and the Alt
Say THAT five times fast! Although it is a tongue-twister, there is nothing complicated about booking this package. The Alt wants you to partake of world-class art during your stay, and the Remai Modern art museum just steps away from the hotel. A visit to Remai will open your mind to so many perspectives and voices. Between the three galleries, you’ll experience the distinct and essential Indigenous perspective, modern and revered international artists, and the world’s largest collection of Picasso linocuts. If you find you are so inspired you can’t contain it, make your way to the art studio and get it all down on paper! There is so much to see and do, you might want to break up your visit by having lunch at Living Sky Café just down the street on 3rd Avenue South, included in this package.

When you check in the Alt, you’ll notice they love art just as much as you do and have allowed our surroundings to inspire their selections. Just past the lobby, you’ll find 47 photographs hanging on the walls over two walls of quintessential prairie scenes.

The Alt's Cycling Package
When the great outdoors calls, you must heed it! Just as the Remai Modern presents a bounty of artistic expression, so does the Meewasin Valley Trails show us the bounty of the river valley. Let nature be your inspiration, pack up your bike, and check into the Alt to partake of their Cycling Package. Your one-night stay also includes a map of the cycling trails, secure on-site storage for your bikes, and a Bike Ride Snackable Picnic Backpack: Trail Mix, Made Good Granola, locally made Meat Chops Jerky and two (2) local Parkerview Brews Kombucha. You’ll also want to take advantage of the late check-out!
