New hotel coming to Calgary Stampede Park

The Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) and the Calgary Stampede announced Truman as the development partner for the first hotel on Stampede Park in Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District.

“CMLC and the Calgary Stampede are proud to partner with Truman, who bring more than 40 years of exceptional building experience in Calgary to this much-anticipated hotel development right at the front door to Stampede Park,” said Kate Thompson, president and CEO of CMLC.

Located on an approximately 85,000 square foot parcel, the Truman hotel will be a full-service, 13-storey upper-upscale lifestyle boutique hotel with approximately 320 rooms; 15,000 square feet of meeting and ballroom space; 14,000 square feet of food and beverage offerings including restaurants, a lobby bar, a coffee shop, and a roof-top lounge with views of downtown; a south-facing leisure terrace with activity pool, jacuzzi and an outdoor bar; and an indoor swimming pool and fitness club.

“This is an exceptional location for a hotel, allowing guests to just stay steps away from the action of The Culture + Entertainment District – whether it’s a convention, meeting or event held in the BMO Centre, a hockey game in Scotia Place, a concert in The Big Four Roadhouse, or the Calgary Stampede’s annual celebration of Western heritage and community spirit each July,” said Tony Trutina, CEO of Truman.

With a development value of approximately $330M, this will be the first full-service convention-oriented hotel built in downtown Calgary in 25 years, demonstrating significant confidence in the emerging Culture + Entertainment District.

The partnership is working with architecture firms NORR Architecture (Chicago), Scatliff+Miller+Murray (Calgary), and CivicWorks (Calgary) to lead design and planning for the hotel. The hotel design is inspired by the unique curvature of Flores LaDue Parade and the expanded BMO Centre, with a sweeping curved form that draws inspiration from the movement of a bucking horse and materiality representative of both the rich identity of the Calgary Stampede and of Alberta’s landscape.

Construction is anticipated to be completed in late 2028.
