The Hillview Hangout features three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a bright open-concept living space that's perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Edmonton. The modern, well-equipped kitchen, dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and in-home laundry make longer stays just as comfortable as weekend getaways. Conveniently located in southeast Edmonton, The Hillview Hangout offers easy access to downtown, Rogers Place, Commonwealth Stadium, West Edmonton Mall, South Edmonton Common, and Edmonton International Airport.

Step outside to your own private backyard retreat. Soak in the hot tub, enjoy drinks at the outdoor bar, gather around the fire table beneath the string lights, or let your four-legged family members roam the fully fenced yard and private dog run.

The heart of the property is The Hangout – our heated retro arcade garage that's become a guest favourite. Play classic arcade games, watch movies or the big game on the 85-inch TV, or sink into the oversized sectional between games. It's the space guests remember most – and often the reason they can’t wait to come back!

When it's time to call it a night, retreat to one of three inviting bedrooms designed for a restful night's sleep. Comfortable mattresses, quality cotton linens, and cozy touches help you wake refreshed and ready for another day.

Whether you're visiting Edmonton for a family vacation, a reunion, a sports tournament, a concert, or simply a weekend away, The Hillview Hangout offers the space, comfort, and unique amenities to make your stay both relaxing and memorable.
