Calgary Hotels

A hotel in downtown Calgary.

Advantages: Suite hotel in downtown Calgary with great food
Disadvantages: Some traffic noise

...suite for us at the International Hotel in Downtown Calgary for the first night of our Canadian holiday. Opened in 1970 with 248 suites, it was only 6km from the airport and reached in about 15 minutes by taxi, but the estimated time on the airport shuttle bus was 1 hour as it stops at several hotels en route. Calgary has a structure of avenues and streets in grid formation and the hotel is on 4th Avenue Southwest, close to Chinatown and two blocks ...
...Reception, was bright and comfortable settees and chairs were around the long narrow area. Check in was quick and easy and a credit card was needed for incidental expenses, in no time we were directed to one of the lifts and would have been zooming our way to the 7th floor and our suite if we had realised we needed to swipe the lift with our key card! But it does mean you need a card to use the lift, preventing undesirables lurking in the corridors. ...

Review of International Hotel, Calgary

Fairmont Palliser - Calgary. Cow towns best?

Advantages: Grand comfort, good location, great price.
Disadvantages: No airport shuttle bus.

We stayed in the Fairmont Palliser, Calgary last weekend after a week long Ski holiday to the Rocky, Purcell and Kootenay mountains. (6 mountains in 8 days - just to make any skiers reading jealous!!) It was a great place for some luxury after skiing all week! We didn't really use too many of the facilities as we only stayed one night but the public areas of the hotel are exceptionally grand but not at all stuffy. This is Calgary, after all! One ...
...for us and our gear. The bathroom was a little past its prime, with paint peeling a little from the ceiling but the towels were very clean and the provided toiletries top notch! It was also exceptionally quiet and we were only on the 4th floor, so expected some traffic noise but heard none. The advertised prices for meals etc are rather expensive for Canada. We ate at a pub on the road behind the hotel, which was a bit basic but advertised '150 ...

Review of The Fairmont Palliser, Calgary

Luxury, Ramada Calgary style!

Advantages: Loads
Disadvantages: None

The Ramada Hotel in Calgary (Canada) is a personal favorite, and when in Calgary, I wont stay anywhere else, indeed, I am willing to travel an hour or so just to stay there! My son loved it too (But not as much as the theme hotel in Edmonton (Different room every night!) The Ramada Hotel Downtown located in the booming metropolis of Calgary and only one hour from the beautiful Canadian Rockies to the west. Its within walking distance of the local ...
...you can expect with the Ramada group. Often, as the cab pulls up outside, a doorman opens the cab door, and two chaperone's appear to take your luggage, the footmen welcome you will a smile, and impeccable manners. Youre guided in to the reception, reservation confirmed, and then led to youre room. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well designed, they are also refreshingly soundproof, meaning you cant hear youre neighbours, and more importantly, ...

Review of Ramada Hotel Downtown, Calgary

Fantastic luxury hotel in Calgary

Advantages: Location, customer service, food
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...work. I was very impressed! The hotel is rated as a 4 star but I would say that it's actually on par with a couple of 5 stars that I have stayed in and certainly better than several other 4 star hotels that I have reviewed. About the hotel: The Westin is located in down town Calgary. The location is excellent but then Calgary is a pretty small place! I walked to the Calgary Tower in under 15 minutes. There are over 500 rooms. Check-In: I was pleasantly ...
...this efficiency was most welcomed. The reception area is quite small but cosy unlike some hotels where it is very grand and daunting. There is a Starbucks on the left hand side of reception-there really is a Starbucks on every street corner in Calgary! There are also various seating arrangements and even a box with free bottles of water. The Room: My room was in the Business Tower which meant that it was an upgraded type of room. The room was very ...

Review of The Westin, Calgary

Travelodge Calgary Airport - its nasty!

Advantages: None to speak of.
Disadvantages: Dirty, noisy, no food, BAD location, creepy staff.....

...review of the Fairmont in Calgary to see what onother C$30 gets you). I would not have wanted to eat here - even if food had been available. In the morning we even decided to leave without showering because the bathroom looked so nasty. (In the end, I don't think we caught anything.....) The staff were OK, but I couldn't help getting the feeling they were all related in some unhealthy way!! Oh, I nearly forgot the best bit - the advertised pool ...
