Calgary Airport Hotels

When finding a place to stay in Calgary, your choice of activities will likely play a major factor in picking an area. If you are flying into Calgary and are only planning to stay overnight, a cluster of hotels near the airport can save you the 20-minute cab ride into town. Complete with a selection of chain and independent restaurants as well as most of the city's warehouse-style shopping, the area around the airport could be considered a city independent from the rest of Calgary.

Which hotel?

The Radisson Hotel Calgary Airport Hotel has 185 guestrooms and its many offerings include concierge services, parking, a currency exchange bureau, a business centre and an on-site restaurant with international and regional cuisine. For recreational activities, guests can engage in nearby golf, skiing, hiking, basketball, tennis and waterskiing.

Where to stay?

The most luxurious accommodations, which are also surrounded by the best dining and entertainment in the city, can be found in the downtown and Eau Claire districts. For those desiring the peace and quiet of a romantic getaway, one of the hundreds of bed and breakfasts scattered throughout the city and Rocky Mountain Foothills can satisfy even the most demanding guest. Hotels catering to business travellers and conventions can be found near the Calgary International Airport and in the Banff Trail area. Adventurers may prefer the lodging in the Bowness region for their proximity to the mountains of Banff and Kananaskis Country.
