Review of Hyatt Regency Calgary in Canada.

The Hyatt Regency in downtown features extremely spacious, modern, and comfortable rooms with sleek bathrooms as well as a pool and jacuzzi on the 18th floor with magnificent views.

Hyatt Regency Calgary – Luxurious and comfortable retreat in the heart of downtown.

This central downtown hotel is outstanding and emanates a vibe of sheer luxury and opulence. The generously-sized rooms are modern and upscale and feature oversized desks, UV-purified drinking water, modern amenities, and elegant décor. Apart from housing arguably the city’s best full-service spa, there are also two superb upscale restaurants, a bar, and a coffee shop on-site, as well as an exclusive members-only lounge with complimentary services. Located on the eighteenth floor, the indoor pool, whirlpool, and fitness center offer amazing city views. The hotel has a superb location in downtown, only one block from Calgary Tower and steps to popular Stephen Avenue Walk with its many restaurants, bars, shopping, and arts and entertainment. Access to Calgary Zoo, Calgary Stampede grounds, and the Saddledome arena couldn’t be any easier as the CTrain station is located right at the hotel’s north-side entrance.
