The world of travel and elevated living is set to reach new heights in Calgary, as Marriott International partners with developer Truman to unveil a landmark trio of high-end hospitality ventures. In a bold move that underscores Calgary’s growing stature on the global stage, three distinct yet equally prestigious brands, W Calgary, JW Marriott Calgary, and an Autograph Collection Hotel, will debut within the city’s dynamic Culture + Entertainment District. This transformative, multi-billion-dollar investment marks Marriott’s inaugural entry into Calgary’s luxury hotel and residential market, promising to reshape the city’s skyline while keeping their standards of comfort, style, and service.
The 69-story W Calgary will bring bold design and vibrant energy, offering 157 rooms, 239 branded residences, and standout features such as an AWAY Spa, rooftop bar, and 16,000+ sq. ft. of event space. In contrast, the JW Marriott Calgary, at 62 stories, will emphasize wellness and serenity with 248 rooms, 120 residences, a JW Garden, multiple pools, and over 32,000 sq. ft. of meeting space.
