Hotel Arts Calgary Review
The unique 4-star Hotel Arts Calgary is around a 5-minute drive from Calgary Telus Convention Centre and has a heated pool plus a fitness room. The eco-friendly hotel is situated in the heart of Calgary, 10 minutes by car from such cultural attractions as TELUS Spark Science Museum.
Breakfast is served in the restaurant. Yellow Door Bistro is an in-house à la carte restaurant, serving Canadian dishes. To cater to every palate, it offers a vegan menu. You can try Latin American cuisine in a restaurant which is located very close by.
Located in an entertainment area, the boutique accommodation is 1.2 km from the multi-use indoor Scotiabank Saddledome Arena and within walking distance of such shopping venues as Stephen Avenue Walk. Standing 9 minutes on foot from Glenbow Museum, the Arts is 11 minutes' walk from the 190.8-meter free standing Calgary Observation Tower.
Also, the unique property lies a few blocks from convention centres. Feel in total harmony with nature by visiting the Botanical garden "Calgary Zoo", a 10-minute ride from Hotel Arts.
Some of the air-conditioned rooms have a balcony and a sitting area, and such facilities as wireless internet and cable channels, along with a small fridge. They are outfitted with comfortable decor. Providing a shower, the stylish bathrooms have guest toiletries. Guests can also enjoy views of the pool.
The accommodation is blocks from a train station.
There is an outdoor pool and a golf course available at additional cost. The Arts Calgary provides guests with fitness classes, as well as access to a spa salon. This Calgary property organises a wide variety of activities such as mountain biking, snow skiing, and hiking.
