Situated within walking distance of downtown Calgary and adjacent to the University of Calgary campus, the hotel offers 143 guestrooms, a full-service day spa, a spin studio, a bar, a specialty restaurant and 4,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space.
Designed to appeal to modern travelers and local guests alike, Aloft Calgary University blends contemporary design with social spaces that encourage connection. The property’s amenities and event facilities make it well suited for business travelers, students visiting campus, and locals seeking dining, entertainment and wellness options. The full-service spa and fitness offerings, including the spin studio, support a wellness-focused stay, while the bar and specialty restaurant provide venues for casual dining and evening socializing.
“Calgary has evolved into a leading lifestyle and business destination in Canada, making it the ideal place to introduce the sassy, forward-thinking Aloft brand,” said Farrah Bhanji, managing director of Aloft Calgary University. “Whether you’re staying overnight or joining friends for cocktails and live music, Aloft offers an energetic environment for those who want to live well, laugh and have fun.”
