The Transit Hotel is a historic building located on Fort Road and 127 Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Constructed in 1908, it was a prominent landmark in the former Village of North Edmonton, known as "Packingtown" due to its concentration of stockyards and meatpacking plants. The hotel served as a key stop along the Fort Trail, a gravel road connecting Edmonton to Fort Saskatchewan. After operating as a hotel and bar for over a century, it closed in 2017 but was revitalized in 2022 as the Transit Smokehouse & BBQ, a restaurant and community space led by David Egan and Raymond Pritlove. The building is recognized for its historical significance and distinctive saloon-style facade, resembling a set piece from a Western film.
