Alt Hotel Calgary University District

Oak walls and polished concrete set the tone in the lobby, where the furniture arrangements shift to suit co-working or a quiet sit-down. It's a design-forward hotel in Calgary's University District, built to LEED standards and stocked with Canadian-made furnishings throughout the guest rooms. Large windows and bold graphics keep things lively without tipping into try-hard. The Rockies are a reasonable drive out, and the neighbourhood handles most other needs on foot.
