4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Calgary

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Calgary is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are typically lower.

During your visit, you can explore the stunning architecture of the urban skyline, enjoy performances at local theatres, stroll along the picturesque riverfront, and discover the city's natural parks. This timeframe offers great value for money, allowing you to experience the rich history and vibrant scenery that Calgary has to offer.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover great deals on cheap hotels in Calgary, start by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates close to your travel date. By enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com, you could stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, helping you save on your accommodation. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re among the first to know if rooms become available or prices drop for your preferred hotels.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Calgary hotel.
