Fairmont Palliser | Playing Cards

illustration • graphic design • packaging design

Fully customized and illustrated deck of premium playing cards, created for Calgary's iconic Fairmont Palliser Hotel in honour of their 110th Anniversary in 2024.

Every detail of these cards was carefully considered to reflect the era in which the hotel was built, including bespoke court cards and Jokers inspired by vintage photographs of Palliser staff and guests. Packaged in a luxury foil-stamped and embossed tuck box, finished with an intricate seal.

Printed by Art of Play, with Clove St. Press (tuck box) and the United States Playing Card Company (cards). Available for purchase online at Art of Play or at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary.
