CALGARY, Alberta, Canada
Hilton announced the opening of the dual-branded Hilton Garden Inn Calgary Downtown and Homewood Suites by Hilton Calgary Downtown, bringing 320 new rooms to downtown Calgary.
Developed by The Widewaters Group, Inc. and owned by Calgary Operating Company, Inc., Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites by Hilton Calgary Downtown complements the city's strong tourism industry with its close proximity to the local attractions that appeal to domestic and global travelers.
"With the latest addition of Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites in Calgary, Hilton continues to provide comfortable lodging options in a dual-branded atmosphere," said John Greenleaf, global head, Hilton Garden Inn. "These new hotels reinforce our brands' commitment to urban expansion.”
Located at 711 4th St. S.E., the dual-brand property provides guests a central downtown location in East Village with access to local attractions including the National Music Centre, Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary Stampede, Calgary Tower, Calgary Zoo, St. Patrick's Island and Heritage Park Historical Village.
"Calgary's tourism has seen consistent growth, reaching more than eight million visitors and $1.7 billion in tourism spending*," said Adrian Kurre, global head, Homewood Suites. "As a highly sought after destination in Canada, this convenient locale offers an ideal setting to introduce a dual-branded hotel.”
The dual-brand concept creates enhanced and larger communal areas than what would be standard at a stand-alone property, benefiting both business and leisure travelers. The hotel has two distinct lobbies and dining areas—each catering to the needs of their respective guests—fitness center, indoor pool and rooftop terrace offering mountain views. The hotel also offers 3,016 square feet of meeting space.
Hilton Garden Inn allows guests to dine on-property at The Garden Grille and Bar, which offers a full cooked-to-order breakfast and dinner, cocktails and evening room service. The Pavilion Pantry is open 24 hours and features a complete selection of snack and beverages. Guests receive signature brand amenities and services, including complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, a 24-hour business center with remote printing and an in-room "hospitality center" with a mini fridge and a microwave.
