4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Calgary

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Calgary is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For those looking to explore the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and natural attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This budget-friendly timeframe allows visitors to appreciate the urban architecture, towering skyscrapers, theatres, and scenic rivers, as well as enjoy the city's natural parks and vibrant entertainment scene, including hockey games. Travelling in these months could provide great value for money, as prices may drop even further.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Calgary, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could find out about flash sales and special promotions, helping you stay informed about potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you get the best value. This means you might be among the first to know if prices drop or new rooms become available, making it easier to secure your last-minute escape.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could mean you may save on your stay in a Calgary hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, helping you to secure the best deal possible.
