The hotel’s on-site restaurant serves a creative mix of
American, Japanese, and local fare, with
vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on request. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, you’ll find plenty of
late-night dining spots within walking distance. And if you’re sleeping in post-show, don’t worry —
breakfast is served late enough to fit your schedule.
Nightlife Options
While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s perfectly placed within walking distance of
Calgary’s vibrant nightlife scene. Nearby bars and lounges offer everything from craft cocktails to chill vibes, making it easy to keep the night going or wind it down smoothly. The hotel’s own
