JW Marriott When this 346-room luxury hotel opened in August 2019, it becamethe spot to go in Edmonton for locals and tourists alike, owing to its restaurants, bars and high-end gym. I learned this the hard way. Grand Villa Casino Edmonton is attached to the east end of Rogers Place arena and the Community Rink, which is adjacent to the arena, and was the first portion of the Ice District, a $2.5 billion mixed-use sports and entertainment district being developed on 25 acres of land in Downtown Edmonton, Alberta, to be completed and open to the public.

When Yuksel Gultekin opened his Turkish restaurant in downtown Edmonton almost 13 years ago, it was a big challenge to convince people to stick around in the evenings to go for dinner.
The other big challenge, he said, was the lamb.

'There were not too many independent restaurants,' the chef and owner of Sofra Turkish Restaurant told CBC's Radio Active on Tuesday. 'All of it was franchises, the classics, the steak and potatoes.
'Our best dish was the lamb — and people were not really very open to the lamb.'
In the ensuing years, a few things happened to help get Sofra on its feet.
'One of the great things about Rogers Place is that it has exposed people to places that they might not have walked by before,' said Ian O'Donnell, executive director of the Downtown Business Association.
As evidence of downtown's burgeoning restaurant community, a record number of establishments are participating in Downtown Dining Week, a annual 10-day event that begins on Friday, O'Donnell said. More than 50 restaurants are involved, up from 37 last year.
During the week, participating restaurants create special two- or three-course set meals, priced at $18, $30 or $45, for brunch, lunch or dinner.
'We are encouraging chefs to get creative and they have certainly responded, with some really unique offerings and even some things that are off menu,' O'Donnell said.
Gultekin has participated in Downtown Dining Week for several years and said it deserves credit for helping with the word-of-mouth around his business. The number of new customers at Sofra has increased from 10 per cent of his clientele to about 50 per cent.
'Fifty per cent are new clients who are coming because of Rogers and because of Downtown Dining Week,' he said.
And also, he added with a laugh, because of the food.
'Those people who used to complain about how they hate lamb, they will eat nothing else in my place now,' he said. 'I convert a lot of people and now they are lamb eaters.'
