The YukonHome/Where to stay/Calgary/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Calgary
It is for travellers who want a mid-range base with guest ratings between 4.3 and 4.6 out of 5, whether they come for the Stampede, for work, or for a Rockies trip.
Staying in Calgary
Calgary is a western-heritage city and a major business centre, and it works as a gateway to the Canadian Rockies. Visitors head for the Calgary Tower, Heritage Park Historical Village, the Glenbow Museum and the Calgary Zoo, and the Stampede in July draws the biggest crowds. The core is walkable, and the Plus 15 skywalk network links many downtown buildings.
The hotels here cluster in three parts of the city. Alt Hotel Calgary East Village and O Stays Riverfront Pointe sit by the Bow River, close to the centre, as does Delta Hotels by Marriott Calgary Downtown on 4th Avenue SE and Fairfield Inn & Suites on 12th Avenue SW. A large group spreads along the airport corridor to the northeast, including Applause Hotel By Clique, Hotel Clique Calgary Airport, Wingate By Wyndham Calgary Airport and Hilton Garden Inn Calgary Airport. Others serve the south and northwest, such as Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Calgary South and Best Western Plus Village Park Inn. Couples on a short break gravitate to the riverfront addresses, families to the hotels with pools and family rooms, and business travellers to the downtown and airport properties.
