The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Calgary Airport By IHG

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.

It is a nice place...

Liked: Free airport shuttle is a plus.Quiet and easily accessible location. Front desk Staff were friendly. Breakfast quality was excellent.
Disliked: One type of breakfast every day. Breakfast menu should be different on some days.Cleaners were invasive. Had to look for them to clean my room some of the days.Late check out time should be pro-rated for payment. A situation where you have to pay for one full night if you are to check out at 8pm should be reviewed.

Affordable stay for Short-term

Liked: Enjoyed the pool area and gym facilities that they had. Albeit a small selection of workout equipment it was sufficient for what I needed.
Disliked: Breakfast should be included as standard.Rooms were set to 25C, (why) when it's the end of June. I set the aircon on to 18C and the room only marginally cooled down so not very efficient air conditioning unit.
