The Best Western Calgary Centre is close to, well, the centre of town. Which is perfect if you're here for a bunch of different reasons, but especially if you're planning on heading down to the Stampede grounds during that crazy week in July. The hotel is right on Macleod Trail, a major north-south thoroughfare that's packed with restaurants, shopping centres, and pubs. It's also close to a C-Train station, which means traveling downtown or to Chinook Centre, not to mention the rest of the city, is a snap. If you want to stay on-site and relax, there's an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, fitness centre, business services and a complimentary continental breakfast each morning.
