The hype
Travelers love the 'Heavenly Beds' and the helpful staff, but many note the property feels a bit dated compared to newer downtown options.
The Westin Calgary
$150-200/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a reliable business basecamp connected to the Skywalk system, with a killer rooftop pool and steakhouse attached.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Direct +15 Skywalk connection (a lifesaver in winter)
- Rooftop indoor pool with skyline views
- The Keg Steakhouse is attached to the lobby
Privire rapidă: A classic business workhorse that's reliable and comfortable, but currently suffering from noisy neighbors (demolition next door) and some aging HVAC systems.
Evaluat de @Beliizabeth: I booked a solo staycation here to recharge and it was exactly what I needed. The bed was incredible, and I spent half the time just lounging in the robe enjoying the city vibes. It felt like a total reset.

Reality check
The 'river view' rooms now overlook a major demolition site, so the view isn't as scenic as it used to be.
- You are visiting for business and want to walk to meetings indoors via the Skywalk
- You prioritize a high-quality gym and lap pool
- You are a Marriott Bonvoy loyalist who wants a predictable, comfortable stay
Curățenie și Întreținere
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough daily service, though some guests report missed dust in corners or under beds.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are clean but aging; grout lines in showers show wear in some rooms.
- Maintenance: HVAC units are the main weak point; otherwise, the property is well-maintained.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality—standard Westin excellence.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of White Tea (Westin signature scent); rooms are generally fresh but some have a stale air conditioner smell.

5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The 'rooftop' pool is indoors, so don't expect to tan, but the views are still great.
💡The elevators can be slow during morning rush hour due to the sheer size of the hotel.
💡You can hear the HVAC system kick on and off all night in some older rooms.
💡The demolition next door has changed the 'River View' into a 'Construction View' for now.
💡Room service is reliable but pricey; ordering takeout to the lobby is a common hack.
