Would need to get on their horse to get a new hotel but agree one is needed. Wonder if they can get the new event park venue built by then? I don't think Valley Line will be complete unfortunately but that would have been a nice to have up and running.

A cool boutique hotel maybe around Metterra size or smaller on 104 st would be so awesome...

Another hotel would be nice, here's to hoping one comes in the future. I agree that the event park venue should be done in time

We really, really need a new 3-4 star in the core as our current stock is underwhelming and in dire need of upgrades, but they are stuck in the classic chicken/egg conundrum.

A new spot would have folks migrate to quality and force others hand.

I would love something similar to AC Hotel or even a Element (both Marriott chains) in downtown.

Alt Hotel on the SE corner of 101 St and 104 Ave - pretty please?

World cup of hockey to YYC and YEG! Semi finals and finals here though even with Calgary's new fireplace arena

About time we get a big hockey event like this that the public can actually attend that the league promised to us back in 2016.

I wonder if they'll do any updates or refreshing of some spaces in Rogers for the event. I wouldn't mind some tech upgrades such as the videoboard getting modifications to keep up with newer ones. We could also use one more hotel slotted just below the JW in tier in time for this event. EXCITED!

Incorporated with the new event centre would make sense to me.

A lot of the downtown hotel stock is approaching 50+ years old.

 

[IanO]

It's holding us back from hosting certain events due to an inability to meet certain hotel RFP requirements.

What a lame excuse.

 

[MacLac]

According it that chart were within a hair of YYC….no?

 

[The_Cat]

Even if there’a a medium tier hotel built around 104-105 Street, that could attract people visiting Rogers Place or MacEwan University.

I stayed in an Element Hotel on a recent trip and think that would actually fit in quite well here. It is actually kind of surprising more has not happened with new hotels downtown since the arena opening.

The JW Marriott is quite nice, but I feel many people going to concerts or events are really actually just looking for something decent, but not too lavish.

Should at least be 95% + complete, and in the testing phase by that point.

Ice district needs a Le Germain and an Alt.

It's a mile.
