Trio of Marriott Properties to Transform Calgary’s Hospitality Landscape

Calgary’s hospitality landscape will be transformed over the next few years with a trio of new Marriott properties — W Calgary, JW Marriott Calgary and the previously announced Autograph Collection Hotel at Stampede Park.

The three brands will debut as part of a dynamic mixed-use development situated within the city’s rapidly evolving Culture + Entertainment District. The project will be led Calgary-based joint-venture partners Truman and Louson. 

Planned as two of Western Canada’s tallest residential towers and located at 15 Ave and Macleod Trail S.E., W Calgary and JW Marriott Calgary are set to redefine luxury in the city, offering elevated living and travel experiences. They are expected to open in 2029 and 2030 respectively, while the Autograph Collection property will lead the way, opening in 2028.

“We are incredibly excited to announce our newest hotel development right here in our hometown of Calgary,” said Tony Trutina, Chief Operating Officer of Truman. “Truman 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.” 

“As 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,” said Paul Cahill, Chief Operating Officer, Canada, Marriott International. 

Bringing W Hotels signature bold and creative energy to the city, the 69-story W Calgary tower is set to feature 157 guest rooms, including 27 suites, and 239 branded residences. Guests will enjoy amenities including a 7,500 sq. ft AWAY Spa, specialty restaurant, 16,259 sq. feet of meeting space, the brand’s signature Living Room, an expansive FIT studio, and a rooftop bar. 

The 62-story JW Marriott Calgary is set to offer 248 guestrooms and 120 branded residences, each meticulously designed to embody the brand’s world-class approach to well-being and luxury hospitality. Guests and residents will enjoy 32,500 sq. feet of meeting space, an indoor and outdoor pool, the brand’s signature JW Market, a tranquil JW Garden, a curated retail area, and more.

The W Calgary and JW Marriott Calgary announcements build on Truman’s recently announced partnership with Calgary Stampede to deliver a 320-key hotel in Stampede Park, which will officially operate under Autograph Collection Hotels. 

With an official name to be announced at a later date, the full-service property will be reflective of the premium lifestyle brand’s clear vision that makes each property individual, and is planned to include 320 guestrooms and 15,000 square feet of meeting and event space. 

Together, these projects are set to deliver more than 700 premium and luxury hotel rooms and nearly 360 branded residences in Calgary’s emerging Culture + Entertainment District, fulfilling a strong need for hotel accommodations to support key venues like the BMO Centre and the forthcoming Scotia Place event centre.
