Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Twenty euros is close to nothing at this price level. What sits behind it in Calgary is anything but a small difference.
The Dorian Calgary from 198 € offers 13 categories.
The Fairmont Palliser Calgary from 218 € carries 47.
That is three and a half times the list for 20 € more a night – and 22 of those 47 categories are suites.
What that means in practice: in a short list the category you want sells out sooner. In a long one our travel advisors almost always still find something that fits – particularly on trade fair days and during the Stampede, when everything in Calgary is looked for at once.
Our advice: if your dates are fixed and you have to stay flexible about the room, take the long list. If you are early and know exactly what you want, the difference is immaterial – then the price decides.
Where to stay in Calgary: downtown twice over
The two best hotels in Calgary both stand downtown, but they are cut very differently.
In the Downtown Commercial Core stands The Dorian Calgary from 198 € with 13 categories. From eight of them you look out over the city. Our recommendation for anyone who wants the view and books early.
In Downtown Commercial stands the Fairmont Palliser Calgary from 218 € with 47 categories, 22 of them suites. Our recommendation for anyone who needs choice or books at short notice.
Our travel advisors know the routes between the two addresses and work them out for your particular occasion.

What a night at a luxury hotel in Calgary costs

| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|

How long to stay: two nights. For most people Calgary is the start or the end of a run into the Rockies – and two nights is the minimum for not attaching the drive directly to the flight.
At both hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
When it is at its best: from June to September, when the days are long and the passes open. Our recommendation for anyone driving on.
In winter the city is the base for the snow to the west, and the hotels are quieter. Our recommendation for anyone coming to ski.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
Breakfast, hotel credit and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
