Marriott International and Truman have signed agreements to bring three hotels to Calgary. The properties—W Calgary, JW Marriott Calgary and an Autograph Collection Hotel—will open between 2028 and 2030 in the city’s Culture + Entertainment District.
W Calgary and JW Marriott Calgary are planned as part of two of Western Canada’s tallest residential towers and will be located at 15 Ave and Macleod Trail S.E. The third property will be located within Stampede Park.
“We are incredibly excited to announce our newest hotel development right here in our hometown of Calgary,” said Tony Trutina, chief operating officer of Truman. “As a Calgary-based and family-owned company, we have a deep commitment to this city, and we believe this project will be a significant catalyst for the local economy. Beyond creating numerous construction jobs, these hotels are expected to generate substantial long-term employment opportunities, boost tourism, and support local businesses through increased visitor spending. We are immensely proud to invest further in Calgary’s future and contribute to its vibrant growth.”
Truman and development partner Louson Investments will lead the mixed-use project. According to Marriott, the three new properties will address demand for premium accommodations near the BMO Centre and other major venues.
“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, Canada, 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.”
