The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Calgary Airport

Comfortable, Convenient, and Close to Calgary's Music Scene

Modern and functional, the Holiday Inn Calgary Airport is a solid choice for concert-goers looking for comfort and convenience without breaking the bank. Located just 5.6 miles from Stampede Park and a short drive to the Calgary Zoo and Telus Spark Center, it offers easy access to major entertainment spots. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, free airport shuttles, and reliable WiFi, it’s made for travelers who want a no-fuss stay with all the essentials.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks? It’s just a quick ride to major concert venues like Stampede Park, so you won’t waste time in traffic. With a 24-hour front desk and flexible check-in at 3:00 PM, plus a hot tub for post-show relaxation, this hotel checks a lot of boxes. Free shuttle service to the airport is a bonus for out-of-town fans flying in for a show. And although it’s close to the action, the hotel sits in a quieter area, making it perfect for catching up on sleep after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a reliable base near the venues
  • Solo travelers catching that once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples looking to combine music and a weekend getaway
  • Fans who value a quiet recovery space after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want solid amenities

Food and Drink Options

  • Full-service restaurant on-site – with kids under 12 eating free
  • Microwave and fridge in every room for late-night leftovers
  • Grab a coffee with the in-room coffee maker before heading to your show
  • Plenty of nearby eateries just a short drive away

Nightlife Options

  • While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site bar, the nearby downtown scene is easily accessible
  • Local pubs and lounges are just a few minutes’ drive away
  • Great option for those who want to retreat from the party after the concert

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the convenient shuttle service. Many highlight the comfortable beds and quiet atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a high-energy show. Others appreciate the hotel’s proximity to major attractions without the downtown price tag.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor is a bit dated in spots, and the location is slightly outside the city center—so having a car or relying on rideshare is helpful. However, most agree that the value and comfort make up for it.

The Bottom Line

The Holiday Inn Calgary Airport is a reliable, budget-friendly option for concert-goers looking for easy venue access, quiet nights, and all the essentials for a great stay.

Loud but fine

Disliked: Needs sound proofing un bed rooms noises from other rooms and the hall would wake me up . Could hear people having showers / using bathrooms at all hours Staff need to be better trained on the fire procedure as fire alarm was sounded on the first night and had no guidance from staff on what to do

VERY BAD

Liked: only after reserving room, was notified pool and fitness room were closed for renovation which i consider false advertizing. I tried to rent a movie which three staff members and two hours could not get on room television. hotel is dirty looking, construction on drywall is not done, and room had black mold in shower. should be visited by health inspector. a rip off for 191.00 dollars. the breakfast i paid for was ok. the only half good thing about my stay. NEVER AGAIN and should not be advertized.
Disliked: all. staff,state of hotel, and the fact pool and fitness room were closed. i was only told of this after i booked it
