History
The King George Hotel, opened in Calgary, Alberta in December of 1911, was built by Charles Bell and Joseph Schiessel. It was located at 126-9th Avenue SE and had 107 rooms, each serviced with hot water and a telephone. The hotel had a popular grill, a barbershop and a manicurist. It was purchased by Hughes and Cory in 1926 and renamed the Carlton Hotel. It was subsequently run by the Traunweisers and Kueflers before being demolished in 1978.
