Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Calgary

Situated just a block south of the Bow River and Prince's Island Park, the Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire serves as an ideal home base for travelers looking to explore Calgary on foot. After a day of sightseeing, retire to your spacious room – each of the Sheraton's all-suite accommodations comes outfitted with a signature Sheraton bed, two flat-screen TVs and microwaves. 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. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Situated in the heart of downtown Calgary, this Westin impresses travelers with comfortable digs that are close to many of Calgary's top attractions. After a day of wandering around Stephen Avenue or ascending the Calgary Tower, rest your head on a Westin Heavenly Bed (which reviewers said lives up to its name). Guest rooms also feature high-speed Internet access (for a fee), as well as views of the city, park or the Bow River. Plus, you can find stellar vistas of the surrounding mountains from the heated indoor pool. After a refreshing swim, head to the Westin's restaurant, Essence, for Canadian dishes. If you're craving surf and turf, try The Keg Steakhouse & Bar, or for a larger cocktail menu, the Liquid Lounge. While menu prices are admittedly steep, this Westin's Marriott ties can help Marriott Bonvoy members out with some of those costs.

The Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel's enviable location — less than 10 miles south of Calgary International Airport — makes it a convenient stopover for transient travelers (plus, it also provides a free airport shuttle). But according to recent guests, you may want to linger a little longer if you're traveling with children: Not only does this Sheraton boast its own 3,000-square-foot water park, but it also offers easy access to family-friendly Calgary attractions, such as the Saddledome and the Calgary Zoo. Meanwhile, if you're visiting on business, you can take advantage of the property's 12,000 square feet of meeting space, as well as its business center and fitness center (equipped with cross-trainers and treadmills). Then, refuel at one of the property's five eateries; Carver's Steakhouse dishes up hearty Alberta beef while Colors Bistro entices visitors with its relaxed atmosphere. If it's lighter fare you seek, visit Henry's Pub or the Lobby Lounge for small bites, or grab a coffee and pastry to-go from Starbucks. Guest rooms here are also flush with amenities, including 32-inch flat-screen TVs, Shine by Bliss bath amenities and Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Beds. And thanks to the Sheraton's Marriott ties, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
