Calgary Districts & Neighbourhoods
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Districts & Neighbourhoods in Calgary, Alberta.
International Airport + My Favorites
For many visitors, this is the entry point into Calgary. The Calgary Airport area has many full service hotels, restaurants, and business services. Many business travellers choose to stay in this area because of the short drive to downtown (approx. 15 minutes) and because it offers easy access to both the Calgary International Airport, and Hwy 2 North which connects Red Deer and Edmonton. Leisure travellers will also find this area convenient if they are planning a Recreational Vehicle excursion, as there are several RV rental companies located nearby.
City Centre + My Favorites
Calgary boasts a vibrant downtown core, with abundant shopping, numerous restaurants, and a wide array of accommodation options. For the business traveller, there's something to suit any taste and budget. Many of the world's largest and most prestigious hotel chains have properties in Calgary's city centre. Just beyond the high-rises you will also find more economically priced accommodations that are within walking distance to the business hub in Calgary. If you find yourself in Calgary often, or for long periods of time, then perhaps an Extended Stay Suite Hotel should be considered. One of the unique advantages of staying downtown while on business, is Calgary's +15 pedestrian walkway system. The largest of it's kind, it is possible to attend several meetings throughout the day, shop through your lunch hour, enjoy a fine dining experience in the evening, and return to your room at night without ever having to brave the frigid January temperatures outside!
Motel Village + My Favorites
Located on the Western end of the city, Motel Villiage is a concentration of accommodations with every budget in mind. Just minutes away from the TransCanada Highway #1, this area has great access to points west including Alberta's Rocky Mountains and the communities of Canmore and Banff. Sports fans will enjoy the close proximity to Burns and McMahon Stadiums as well as the varied activities at Canada Olympic Park and the Olympic Oval. Motel Village is also in close proximity to the University of Calgary and Foothills Hospital. Shopping, dining, and entertainment are all close by, and business travellers will find that downtown is approximately 20 minutes away. Several of the accommodations in this area have splendid views of the mountains to the west.
Macleod Trail South + My Favorites
Visitors who enter Calgary from the south will find a large assortment of accommodations located on and around Macleod Trail. Everything from full service hotels, to extended stay suite hotels, to comfortable "Inn" style motels can be found in Calgary South. The Area features Calgary's highest concentration of restaurants, several night clubs, and easy access to local business. Calgary South is also near several indoor shopping centres, including the recently renovated Chinook Centre. Both business and leisure travellers will find this area appealing, as it offers quick access to downtown (approx. 20 minutes) and local attractions such as Spruce Meadows and Heritage Park. In addition, the area affords travelers quick, easy access to destinations South such as Lethbridge, Waterton National Park, and the state of Montana.
