Best Marriott International Hotels in Alberta

Located inside Edmonton International Airport, the Renaissance Edmonton Airport Hotel offers travelers a place to hang their hat before or after a flight. In fact, this hotel is the only Renaissance in the world attached to an airport terminal, meaning you'll have access to an array of shops and eateries without having to leave the building. What's more, a golf course and a dog park sit less than 5 miles away, and downtown Edmonton, Alberta's theaters, restaurants and boutiques can be found about 20 miles to the north. Back at the property, there's a fitness center, an indoor pool, nearly 10,000 square feet of event space and a Starbucks. For more substantial meals, the hotel has Halo Bar and Bistro, which serves casual bistro fare. Recent diners raved about the restaurant's food, citing the breakfasts as one of the highlights of their stays. The hotel's accommodations also stood out to past guests. Each space features a white color palette with modern accent walls, as well as soundproofed windows, a desk and Aveda toiletries. And if you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, you'll enjoy free Wi-Fi access while earning or redeeming points for stays.

Aside from the rooms and enviable location, guests consistently praise this Sheraton's indoor pool, hot tub and waterslide. Once you've worked up an appetite from splashing around, grab a casual bite at Fionn MacCool's Irish pub. For a more upscale dining experience, venture to Flower & Wolf Calgary.
