From the article: 'JW Marriott will operate as a luxury hotel, while W Calgary will be a lifestyle-luxury hotel, and the Autograph Collections Hotel will be a premium-lifestyle hotel.'

Trying to make sense of these hotel tier levels has me cross-eyed. Is luxury higher than premium?

Part of the reason they have so many brands is many were through acquisitions. Autograph is a level above a standard Marriott, and usually have some unique branding/amenties, whereas chains like Courtyard or Marriott very often have the same brand amenities and the same decor

and JW/ W is like 2 levels above. JW is still business oriented, whereas W is more modern. JW is for the executive going to the Global Energy Show, whereas the W is for the executive’s kid going to the Stampede
 
Damn, that's a lot of faulty sink installs

(This is super cool though. Really hope it gets built as it's presented here.)

6 years of Alberta's Tallest in Edmonton, and Calgary is finally coming for the Crown

Calgary had the Oxford Tower Proposal back when the Stantec was still U/C, But that got Cancelled
It has been Over half a decade since Alberta has built an 800 footer

It's Truman: So it's Likely gonna get built

Design wise: These towers are Legit some Worthy contenders for Tallest in Western Canada, Unique design, Potential Landmark Status

How far is this development from the proposed "grand central station" (which, as I understand it, is proposed as a station on both the airport-downtown-banff rail project and the Calgary-Edmonton high-speed rail project)? Does this suggest confidence that one or both of those potentially game-changing projects might actually be built soon?

Call it about a 20 minute walk to the proposed grand central station proposed area.

Id say 10–12 (splitting hairs i know lol…). It cant be understated just how important the rejigging of the VP LRt station was….being able to cross macleo and walk on foot on the NW side of BMO and obv down 17th. Pretty quick connection, and significant customer base for the buildout of stampede trail. Every NHL team and touring act would now stay at these 2 properties.

I can assure you, the Truman plans to build these announced. If it changes, it won't be because Truman scaled it back. At one point, they considered heights of 80- floors and 55 floors.


To answer another question I saw, this project is properly funded. It was in the works long before the smaller hotel was in the mix.

Great to hear! I understand the DP's are being submitted next week, but any hints for the actual height of both towers?
