Calgary & Area Accommodations: A Wealth of Choices
Known as the Heart of the New West, the Calgary area is a great place to visit for business or pleasure. Located on the banks of the Bow River, Calgary is the gateway to Alberta's Rocky Mountains as well as a key stopover for travellers going east or west along the Trans-Canada Highway and for visitors enjoying Alberta's southern region. Navigating Calgary and its surrounding communities is easy via a well-connected road system and public transportation network. Learn more about this big, modern city and the friendly small towns that surround it while staying at one of many hotels, motels, inns, hostels or bed and breakfasts in the area.
CITY OF CALGARY
Central Calgary's growing corporate sector attracts many business travellers to the core and recreational visitors are drawn downtown for the wealth of events and attractions. The venue of the annual Calgary Stampede is close to the downtown core as well as the Pengrowth Saddledome, home to the National Hockey League's Calgary Flames. Nearby attractions, including the Glenbow Museum, Science Centre and Calgary Tower, also make downtown a convenient place to stay.
The Palliser Hotel, next to the Calgary Tower, is as the name suggests Calgary's most prestigious accommodation. This elegant hotel has played host to visiting VIPs for almost a hundred years. Equally as luxurious, on the north side of downtown, is the Sheraton Suites. Situated in the popular Eau Claire pedestrian area and right beside Princes' Island Park, the Sheraton's quiet yet central location is ideal.
