International Hotel

Calgary


Plans are underway to convert this great spot to apartments, but for now it remains a good option in the heart of downtown. Even the standard rooms are suites with great city views and cloud-comfy beds. The decor is fairly neutral but the service is not. Some suites have kitchens; there is no on-site restaurant.
