Local Attractions

International Hotel Suites Calgary has been part of the bustling downtown city landscape since 1970. Calgary’s original all-suite hotel is prominently located in the heart of the business, theatre and entertainment districts, providing easy access to a number of notable area attractions.

Convenient 2nd Floor access to the +15 covered pedestrian walkway connects our guests to over 19 km of downtown shopping, nightlife, dining, recreation, things to do, and prominent corporate organizations throughout the city.

International Hotel Suites occupies a prime location just two blocks away from an LRT (light rail transit) station, offering even more opportunity for safe and efficient travel throughout the city.

Whether you’re visiting Calgary for business or pleasure, our favorable property location will afford you plenty of time to visit Calgary’s most well-known local attractions. Eau Claire Market, a favorite local spot to experience one-of-a-kind shops and culinary delights, is located just two short blocks from the hotel.

Stephen Avenue Mall showcases all that is hip and trendy and provides easy access to TD Square, Eaton Centre and Bankers Hall, a shopper’s paradise catering to all styles and budgets. Bring the kids for a family-friendly vacation and visit the popular Calgary Olympic Park, Calgary Tower, Calgary Zoo or TELUS Science Centre.

Guests will also enjoy our close proximity to Prince’s Island Park and the Bow River Trails. Located just behind the hotel along the banks of the Bow River, this well-maintained greenspace is perfect for a picnic, an energetic run or bike ride or simply a leisurely stroll through the park.

Host to many festivals and events throughout the year, our concierge will be happy to provide a calendar of events, or you can visit our Event Calendar page while you plan your next stay with us.

While downtown Calgary provides a wealth of uniquely cosmopolitan attractions and things to do, our guests also have the opportunity to explore untouched Canadian wilderness just one hour from the hotel.

A short drive gives way to a serenely different world filled with wide blue sky, wildlife and a host of recreational activities in the great outdoors.

Visit the gorgeous Banff National Park or spend the day at Lake Louise. Take advantage of the opportunity to explore the wilderness by day, and the glittering city lights by night.
