Marriott International, Inc. and Truman are planning to open three hotels in Calgary, Alberta – W Calgary, JW Marriott Calgary and an Autograph Collection Hotel on Stampede Park. The three properties will debut as part of a mixed-use development situated within the city’s Culture + Entertainment District.
The development of the Autograph Collection, W Calgary, and JW Marriott Calgary – expected to open in 2028, 2029, and 2030 respectively – will be led by Calgary-based, joint-venture partners Truman and Louson. W Calgary and JW Marriott are planned to be two of Western Canada’s tallest residential towers.
“As Marriott continues to expand our hospitality options in Canada to meet the diverse needs of guests, owners and developers, W Calgary, JW Marriott Calgary, and the Autograph Collection Hotel are poised to usher in an unparalleled level of hospitality to this high-energy city,” said Paul Cahill, chief operating officer, Marriott International. “We are thrilled to closely collaborate with Truman and Louson, whose combined passion and love for Calgary will be a perfect complement to the elevated service that guests have come to expect from the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.”

Truman is partnering with Calgary Stampede to deliver a 320-key hotel, the name of which will be announced at a later date. The full-service property is planned to include 320 guestrooms and 15,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Within 14,000 square feet of food and beverage offerings, guests will enjoy several restaurants, a lobby bar, coffee shop, a rooftop lounge with views of downtown, an indoor swimming pool, a fitness club, and a south-facing leisure terrace with a pool, jacuzzi and an outdoor bar.
