The Spotlight on Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel

Central Comfort Just Minutes from Calgary's Top Music Venues

Modern and welcoming, the Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel blends stylish comfort with unbeatable convenience. Located in the heart of downtown Calgary, this hotel puts you steps away from the city's top entertainment and nightlife spots. With a warm, casual vibe, an inviting indoor pool and hot tub, and a popular on-site lounge, it's a great launching pad for your concert night—and a cozy place to crash afterward.

Each room comes equipped with free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, a coffee machine, and a comfy seating area—perfect for unwinding after a high-energy show.

The check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is at a relaxed 12:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to recover after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Planning to catch a show at the Scotiabank Saddledome or heading to a festival at Calgary Stampede Park? This hotel is just a 9-minute drive from both. Even closer, the buzzing 17th Avenue entertainment district is only a short walk away. Guests love the central location—and despite being in the heart of the city, the hotel offers a surprisingly quiet night’s sleep. For those traveling without a car, public transit and ride-shares are easily accessible right outside.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to stay near the action
  • Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
  • Couples planning a weekend city break with a show
  • Fans wanting a quieter space to recharge post-gig
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Moxies restaurant and lounge is a major plus—offering casual dining and drinks before or after your concert. Room service is available if you'd rather chill in your room. While there’s no 24/7 dining, the downtown location means you’re never far from a late-night bite. Coffee lovers will appreciate the in-room machine, and breakfast is easy to find nearby if you sleep in a bit.

Nightlife Options

While there's no live music on-site, guests are just minutes from some of Calgary’s best bars, clubs, and lounges. Whether you're after a lively post-concert after-party or a chill drink with friends, there’s plenty of nightlife within walking distance. The on-site lounge at Moxies is also a comfortable spot to grab a nightcap before heading up to your room.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and prime location. Many reviewers mention how easy it is to get to local venues and how convenient it is for a weekend in the city. The pool and hot tub are also a hit for those looking to unwind after a high-energy night out.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is downtown, so parking can be a bit tight if you're driving. Some guests found the decor slightly dated in certain areas, but overall comfort and cleanliness make up for it. Also, while the on-site dining is solid, late-night options could be expanded.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Calgary, the Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel gives you great access, solid comfort, and city-center convenience—all at a price that won’t blow your ticket budget.

Josh, Lethbridge, visiting Dickens Pub Calgary

First off I booked it through ConcertHotels and it said $69 plus taxes. Came out to $77.92. I showed my girlfriend and booked it. The price was right there on the screen while I put in the credit card info. When we arrived they told me it was 100 bucks. Then parking was 25 bucks. Although they never told me that until morning. It was dirty. Disgusting towels and garbage on the floor. I had to check the mattress for bed bugs. I have pictures but most likely can't put them up. Oh and it was under construction and had no hot water until 5 pm. Also pool and hot tub were unavailable. So nothing worked, it was gross and I was overcharged. I will be staying at the Delta from now on - same price and they treat you great. It's clean and parking is cheaper.

Liked: The only good thing that was good is that we were close to venue.
Disliked: Rip off; disgusting, cheap hotel.

Crooked ppl working for crooked...

Liked: N/A
Disliked: Waited half an hour just to check in, even though there were only 3 people ahead of me. It was a Saturday, so I didn't think too much of it. The AC in the room was terrible, barely a breeze even though it was on the highest setting, and not cold air at all. Unfortunately, i did not realize this until around midnight when I was trying to sleep. Couldn't stay asleep because it was so uncomfortable in the room. Ended up leaving b4 8am. Reception said they would comp my parking (woo $6) after bringing the inoperable ac to their attention. The Monday after, I noticed multiple charges on my card from the sandman. I called and spoke to the manager who told me it's due to smoking in the room, which we did not. He said he would look into it but did not give me much hope it the matter and basically told me there's nothing i can do about this false accusation. I called and left a message with the General manager the next day, the manager called me back 20 min later saying they had picture evidence of smoking damage, im still waiting on a copy of that and cleaning costs to be sent to me. I am not letting this go. I work hard for my money. And here's the thing, i treat myself once a year by coming to calgary and getting tickets for a show. I could not afford to stay two nights so I got the one. I already have a problem paying over 300 for a 1 night stay, but like I said it's a treat for myself. The fact that they are now forcing me to pay $250 on top of that for something I didn't do?? NO! I'm calling it for what it is complete theft.
