4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Calgary

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Calgary is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. To fully appreciate the city's key historical and cultural landmarks, it's recommended to stay for at least 3 to 4 days. This allows ample time to explore the striking urban architecture, iconic skyscrapers, vibrant theatre scene, picturesque riverfront, and beautiful natural parks. With affordable options available, Calgary offers great value for money for those keen on immersing themselves in its rich history and stunning scenery. Prices might drop even further during these months, making it an ideal time for travellers on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Calgary, consider exploring the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com, you could stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. With timely updates on price drops or room availability, you're more likely to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay in a Calgary hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels may offer a more personalised touch and sometimes even better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below average, and if it seems higher, we might suggest alternative, more affordable dates to help you potentially secure a more attractive option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Calgary's superb public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel situated further afield that remains well-connected.
