The Westin Calgary

Good things about the Westin:

Right downtown, great for business, connected to just about everything via the Plus 15 system.

Tip: Look for weekend and off-season specials at all of the downtown business hotels, as sometimes there are surprising deals, particularly if you can arrange your trip at the last minute. I see that on the Westin's website now they're offering a promo where you pay your birth year as the room rate for part of your stay. Hmmmm, that's one way to separate the wheat from the chaff.

The Westin Calgary is one of the city's best business hotels. It hosts a lot of conferences and major events. I haven't eaten there in a while but the food was always good when I was a regular.

There are some famous parties there during the Stampede (often charity fundraisers, not cheap but the tickets are very much sought-after).

The Caesar (vodka and Clamato juice, a twist on the Bloody Mary) was invented here.

My story about the Vancouver Canucks (well, one of them) in the lobby in 1990 might surprise you a bit. It was sort of surreal.
