Developed by The Widewaters Group, Inc. and owned by Calgary Operating Company, Inc., Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites by Hilton Calgary Downtown complements the city's strong tourism industry with its close proximity to the local attractions that appeal to domestic and international travelers.

"With the latest addition of Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites in Calgary, Hilton continues to provide comfortable lodging options in a dual-branded atmosphere," said John Greenleaf, global head, Hilton Garden Inn. "These new hotels reinforce our brands' commitment to urban expansion in markets that attract a diverse traveler base looking for quality and comfort."
