Accommodations in Calgary |
These establishments provide visitors with a comfortable, homey atmosphere, and even those found amid the urban bustle of downtown Calgary enjoy an air of small-town intimacy.
Calgary’s bed and breakfast inns reflect the city’s cultural diversity, spanning a range of styles that includes historic Victorian homes, newly built houses, and rustic hobby ranches.
Calgary’s Airporter Shuttle Express Ltd. serves dozens of inns, providing twenty-four-hour, door-to-door van service to and from the airport at reasonable prices.
Generally, room rates decline as the length of stay increases, but discounts don’t apply to accommodations during the Calgary Stampede.
There are seasonal price fluctuations, with off-peak times offering visitors cheaper rates and a better chance of finding a vacancy in one of these charming buildings.
All that charm sacrifices size, with some inns having as few as two or three guest rooms, so it’s important to book as early as possible if you’re keen on a particular place.
Online travel directories allow you to zero in on the style and location you want and then locate an inn that matches your price range.
Below is just a small sampling of the bed and breakfast options Calgary offers (note that prices are approximate and subject to change).

If you’re hankering for a taste of down-home ranch life, Hilltop Ranch Bed and Breakfast may be the answer.
Located halfway between Calgary and Bragg Creek, the year-round hobby ranch is nestled in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies amid a park-like setting that’s perfect for nature walks.
There are boarding and exercise facilities for guests’ horses, and the ranch is close to Spruce Meadows, Calgary’s world-class equestrian show jumping center, as well as Kananaskis Country and Elbow Falls.
Visitors can enjoy a continental or ranch-style breakfast, and room rates are from 70-120 Canadian dollars for a single and 90-149 Canadian dollars for a double.
