As I live in Downtown Edmonton at the moment, I may be of assistance
Stay:
- If you have the money (or the company), the most famous hotel is the Fairmont Macdonald (100th ST and Jasper Ave)
- Westin Hotel across the street is a decent hotel.
- Stay at the downtown mall. the Delta Central Suite Hotel is part of Eaton Centre. Along with the 3 hotels I mentioned, they are all in downtown central and offer many different amenities nearby
- Sutton Place hotel is at the other end of downtown, but is a cheaper option
Food:
- Downtown Jasper Ave has many different types of restaurants depending on your taste. Also, buses run up and down with regularity.
- Steak = Ric's Grill (104th and 102Ave) and Sawmill (more family type of place, but has some of the best steak and prime rib in the city. A bit farther at 104ave and 115st)
- Japanese = Japanese Village (100th and 100ave), Shogun (121st and Jasper)
- Earls (118th, Jasper), Joey's (114st, Jasper), Lazia (in Eaton Centre, fusion restaurant), BP's (106ST, Jasper)
Pubs = Pub 1905 (105th, Jasper), Sherlocks (100A Ave, 101St)
- There is a bunch of interesting places to eat including a Czech Bistro, French Restaurant, Shisha bar, Greek Place, and Sherlock's all in the little side Street (Rice Howard Way 101st and 100A ave)
- Fine Dining = Hardware Grill, Normands (116th Jasper)
- Sobey's (105th Jasper), Save on (109st Jasper), Safeway (116th, 104Ave)
honestly, there aren't too many places that shows Flames game.
Malls
- West Ed, pretty much has everything you need
- Kingsway and Southgate, both accessible by a number of buses are where regular Edmontonians shop
- Downtown Mall, has the necessities
That's what comes off the top of my head for sleep, eat, and shop. PM me if you need anything else on Edmonton
