Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate how this hotel offers a quieter night’s sleep while still being a quick drive or ride-share away from Calgary’s top venues. The 24-hour Denny’s is a huge bonus for those midnight post-show cravings, and the hotel’s free parking makes it easy for road-tripping fans.

Food and Drink Options

There’s no shortage of food here. The on-site Denny’s is open 24/7, perfect for grabbing a bite after a late gig. The Shark Club Sports Bar & Grill offers burgers, drinks, and a lively energy if you’re not quite ready to call it a night. You’ll also find plenty of walkable eateries nearby at Deerfoot Meadows. Breakfast is available any time at Denny’s — ideal for sleeping in after a big night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself isn't a nightlife hub, the Shark Club is a solid pre-game or wind-down spot with TVs, pub grub, and cold drinks. Want more action? You’re a short drive from Calgary’s bars, lounges, and live music spots downtown.
