The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Airport Calgary By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Calgary Airport

Modern, easy-going, and traveler-friendly, the Holiday Inn Express Airport Calgary is a 3-star hotel just minutes from Calgary International Airport and an easy drive to downtown's biggest concert venues. With a clean, functional design and thoughtful amenities like a free airport shuttle and indoor pool, it’s a stress-free choice for music lovers coming in from out of town.

Whether you're catching a show at the Saddledome or heading to a festival, this hotel strikes the right balance between comfort and connectivity.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just 0.6 miles from Calgary International Airport, this hotel is ideal for travelers flying in for a big show. The free 24-hour airport shuttle makes late-night arrivals or early morning departures a breeze. After the encore, unwind in the indoor hot tub or crash in a quiet, well-insulated room that blocks out city noise. While it's not downtown, the hotel’s proximity to major roads means you can reach concert venues in about 15–20 minutes. Check-in is from 3:00 PM, and the front desk is staffed 24/7, so no worries if you're arriving late after a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for budget-friendly comfort with easy airport access
  • Solo travelers flying in to see a bucket-list artist
  • Couples who want a low-key weekend with a concert and a cozy room
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the downtown buzz
  • Budget-conscious music fans who don’t mind a short ride to the venue

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, guests rave about the free daily buffet breakfast—a perfect fix after a late night out. You’ll also find coffee machines in every room for that much-needed morning pick-me-up. Several casual dining spots are a quick drive or delivery away, and the shared lounge area is a relaxed space to snack and chill. No room service, but the nearby options make up for it.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a hotel for clubbing, but that’s part of its charm. After a concert, enjoy a laid-back night in the indoor pool or hot tub, or grab an Uber to one of Calgary’s nearby bars. Downtown nightlife is about 15–20 minutes away if you're still in the mood to celebrate post-show.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and super-convenient airport location. Reviewers on Booking.com highlight the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and excellent value for money. Many say it’s their go-to spot for short stays when catching flights or attending events.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not downtown, so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most venues. Some guests mention that the breakfast area can get a bit crowded during peak times, especially on weekends. And while the vibe is more functional than fancy, it definitely delivers on the essentials.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a quiet, affordable, and well-connected hotel near Calgary’s music scene and airport, the Holiday Inn Express Airport Calgary hits all the right notes.

Incredibly comfortable beds!

Liked: The hotel was lovely and very clean and the room a great size for family of four. All staff were so friendly and helpful. The children loved the pool and slide. The beds were incredibly comfortable!!
Disliked: Unfortunately the breakfast didnt cater well for Gluten Free. When asked at breakfast if they had GF bread/toast or if the egg omelette could be GF it was a no, with no offer or suggestion for other options. There was yogurt and fresh fruit though would have expected that other gluten free options could have been catered for. Otherwise we loved our stay here.

Passable

Disliked: Mildew issue around base of shower. Bathroom door was cheap and needed paint. Housekeeping came in to clean but the bed was badly made up. They didn't replenish toilet paper and we had a stained face cloth. The breakfast was fair. Coffee was watered down. There was no bacon and only white bread. Toaster takes very long to make toast. We saw green bananas served one morning. And floor in dining room was sticky. Laundry room charged $3 a load. Other hotels were $2. We would have enjoyed watching Netflix but there was no smart tv in this hotel.

ok

Liked: Satisfactory
Disliked: I was embarrassed that there was no airport shuttle as promised on the website. The taxis took me to three different Holiday Inn Express before I finally got to the right one and I had to pay for the taxi fares.
