Enabling hotel development to meet rising demand
Hotel development is a key part of the vision for Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District—supporting major events, welcoming visitors, and bringing even more energy to a district designed to thrive both day and night.
As steward of the Rivers District Master Plan, CMLC and the Calgary Stampede have partnered to attract hotel investment to The Culture + Entertainment District.
Working with a range of development partners to realize hotel projects that support the District vision and respond to the growing demand for hotel rooms generated by the expanded BMO Centre and the forthcoming Scotia Place, Calgary’s new event centre.
There are three hotel sites identified in the Rivers District Master plan, which will support the growing demand for hotel space for the hundreds of meetings and conventions, concerts and sporting events that take place in The District every year.
Hotels in The C+E will complement the District experience with elevated food and beverage offerings, meeting and ballroom spaces, and more.
Located just steps away from Western Canada’s largest convention centre and Calgary’s new event centre, the first C+E hotel by local developer Truman will break ground in late 2025.
Hotel investment spurred by the opening of the expanded BMO Centre and groundbreaking of Scotia Place demonstrate significant industry confidence in the vision for Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District.
