Hotel entrance and parking
The hotel stands west of Barlow Trail SE and south of 114 Avenue SE. Parking is complimentary.
Driving north from the U.S. border or Lethbridge, Highway 2 becomes Deerfoot Trail at the city's south edge; driving south from Edmonton or the airport, you stay on Deerfoot through the city. From Banff, the Trans-Canada Highway brings you in from the west and Google Maps then routes you across the city or round it on Stoney Trail, depending on traffic.
By Calgary Transit
Google Maps' transit result from the Calgary Tower uses route 302, boarding eastbound on 9 Avenue S at Centre Street S and getting off at the stop on 114 Avenue SE at 35 Street SE, followed by a four-minute walk. It showed a fare of CA$4.00 on 31 October 2026. Calgary Transit's own route pages did not load for us, so check the current schedule and fare on calgarytransit.com before relying on this. From the airport, transit takes more than an hour with transfers; a car or a taxi is the realistic choice.
From the airport
Calgary International Airport is north-east of the city centre; the hotel is in the south-east. Deerfoot Trail joins them. The hotel does not advertise an airport shuttle, and the YYC website notes that while many hotels offer shuttles, travellers should contact their hotel from the information desk to check. Car rental companies operate right outside the terminal building, according to YYC. More on the airport stopover page.
Taxi and ride-share
No published fare figures from the hotel or the city were available to us, so none are printed here. The ride-share app will quote before you accept; the distances in the route table give you a sense of the meter.
Arriving late
The front desk is staffed around the clock, according to the hotel. For arrivals after midnight, put the expected time in the notes field of a room request, or call (403) 236-7529 on the day.
