Alberta-based developer and builder Truman and Marriott International have announced plans that will update Calgary\u2019s skyline with a trio of new buildings. The two companies recently revealed their plan to open three hotels in Calgary, the W Calgary, JW Marriott Calgary and an Autograph Collection Hotel on Stampede Park.<\/p>\n
Part of a mixed-use development situated within the city\u2019s Culture + Entertainment District, the three hotels are expected to open in 2028, 2029 and 2030. The projects will be led by Calgary-based joint-venture partners Truman and Louson, a real estate investment firm active in the commercial, residential and hospitality sectors. Located at 15 Ave and Macleod Trail S.E., the W Calgary and JW Marriott Calgary will become two of Western Canada\u2019s tallest residential towers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are incredibly excited to announce our newest hotel development right here in our hometown of Calgary,\u201d said Tony Trutina, chief operating officer of Truman. \u201cTruman and Louson, as Calgary-based and family-owned companies, have a deep commitment to this city, and we believe this project will be a significant catalyst for the local economy. Beyond creating numerous construction jobs, these hotels are expected to generate substantial long-term employment opportunities, boost tourism and support local businesses through increased visitor spending. We are immensely proud to invest further in Calgary\u2019s future and contribute to its vibrant growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman has a long history of delivering high-quality residential, commercial and mixed-use projects across the region, with more than 40 years of experience in developments that align with Calgary\u2019s character, community needs and economic landscape.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Marriott continues to expand our hospitality options in Canada to meet the diverse needs of guests, owners and developers, W Calgary, JW Marriott Calgary and the Autograph Collection Hotel are poised to usher in an unparalleled level of hospitality to this high-energy city,\u201d said Paul Cahill, chief operating officer for Canada at Marriott International. \u201cWe are thrilled to closely collaborate with Truman and Louson, whose combined passion and love for Calgary will be a perfect complement to the elevated service that guests have come to expect from the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 69-storey W Calgary tower is set to feature 157 guest rooms, including 27 suites, and 239 branded residences. Guests can enjoy one-of-a-kind amenities, including a 7,500 sq. ft Away Spa, specialty restaurant, 16,259 square feet of meeting space, the brand\u2019s signature Living Room, an expansive Fit studio and a rooftop bar. Residents will also have exclusive access to the facilities and a dedicated private entrance.<\/p>\n
At 62-storeys the JW Marriott Calgary will offer 248 guestrooms and 120 branded residences, each designed to embody the brand\u2019s approach to well-being and luxury hospitality. The hotel will feature 32,500 square feet of meeting space, an indoor and outdoor pool, the brand\u2019s signature JW Market, a tranquil JW Garden, a curated retail area, and more.<\/p>\n
This builds upon Truman\u2019s recently announced partnership with Calgary Stampede to deliver a 320-key hotel on Stampede Park, which will officially operate under Autograph Collection Hotels. Plans for the full-service property include 320 guestrooms and 15,000 square feet of meeting and event space, along with 14,000 square feet of food and beverage offerings, a rooftop lounge with views of downtown, a south-facing leisure terrace with a pool, jacuzzi and an outdoor bar, and an indoor swimming pool and fitness club.<\/p>\n
As stewards of the Rivers District Master Plan, Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) has been leading the redevelopment of the district for the past seven years, transforming the landscape of the downtown neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur shared vision for The Culture + Entertainment District as a vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhood is coming to life, with more than $2 billion in city-building infrastructure and cultural destinations completed or underway,\u201d said Kate Thompson, president and CEO of CMLC. \u201cAs we knew it would, our city\u2019s public investment in the C+E is now attracting significant private interest and investment, bringing forward the hotels, residences and commercial spaces envisioned in the master plan that will, critically, support the needs of meetings, conventions and major events taking place in The District.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to work with Marriott on the Autograph Collection Hotel on Stampede Park,\u201d added Joel Cowley, CEO of the Calgary Stampede. \u201cWith the growing demand for meetings and conventions at the expanded BMO Centre and across Calgary, these three hotel offerings dramatically elevate our competitive advantage as a host city and complement the Calgary Stampede\u2019s world-known exceptional Western hospitality.\u201d<\/p>\n
