The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Suites Downtown

Spacious Suites in Calgary’s Downtown, Steps from the Action

Modern and practical, Best Western Plus Suites Downtown puts you right in the heart of Calgary with easy access to live music venues and nightlife. Located just a short walk from the 17th Avenue district and key entertainment spots like Stampede Park and the Saddledome, this hotel offers roomy suites equipped with kitchenettes, microwaves, and mini-fridges—perfect for pre- or post-concert snacks. A free hot buffet breakfast, strong WiFi, and on-site gym make this a smart, comfortable base for music lovers.

Why Concert-goers love it

With venues like the Saddledome and Stampede Park within walking distance, you won't need to worry about late-night rideshares or parking. The hotel has 24-hour front desk service, so coming in after a midnight encore is never a hassle. Suites are spacious and surprisingly quiet for a downtown location, giving you room to relax after the show. Plus, above and underground parking with electric plug-ins is available if you're driving in for the gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends – large suites with separate sitting areas make it easy to hang out together
  • Solo travelers catching a dream show – safe, central, and easy to navigate
  • Couples making a concert weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet recovery zone after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music fans – get value with free breakfast and in-room kitchenettes

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a complimentary hot buffet breakfast, ideal for recharging after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're just a 10-minute walk from the 17th Avenue district’s restaurants and bars. In-room kitchenettes and microwaves let you heat up snacks or leftovers, and the on-site convenience store stocks essentials.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is quiet and low-key, you're close to Calgary’s buzzing nightlife. Walk to 17th Avenue for craft cocktails, pubs, and lounges, or head to downtown spots for live music and DJ sets. It’s easy to continue your night out without needing a car.

What People Say

Guests love the roomy suites, excellent location, and friendly staff. Many mention that the proximity to venues makes it ideal for attending concerts and festivals. The in-room kitchenettes are especially appreciated by longer-stay guests or those traveling with groups. The free breakfast is consistently praised as a great value perk.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that the hotel’s decor feels a bit dated in places, and parking comes at an extra cost. Those sensitive to noise may want to request a higher floor, especially during city events. But overall, guests find these to be minor trade-offs for the location and space.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Calgary for a concert, Best Western Plus Suites Downtown offers the space, convenience, and location to make your music-filled trip smooth and memorable.

Great Calgary option

Liked: Spacious 2 bedroom apartment, comfortable beds and nice breakfast offerings. Good location in downtown and reasonable parking $ for the location. Staff were lovely and really accommodating (we managed to get an early check in which was much appreciated) good laundry on-site and open until 11 which was great.
Disliked: Dated apartment and furniture but they are upgrading property so assume it will be on the list somewhere for renovation. Only enough crockery and cutlery for 3 people even though we booked for 5 people, not a huge deal as we mostly ate out but did find it unusual.

Bad

Liked: It's a very wel located, convenient hotel, very wide apartments, comfy beds
Disliked: it's a great property, for this reason I have stayed with them over the past 3 year in each visit to Calgary, however, this time it seems like there was a fire at 4:30 AM, we alll had to decend and wait for the firefighters to finish, but the hotel never appologised, never gave us an explanation or anything.
