Marriott to launch three new hotels in Canada by 2030
Marriott International has revealed plans to introduce three new hotels in Calgary, Canada, as part of a mixed-use development in the city's Culture + Entertainment District. The W, JW Marriott, and an Autograph Collection hotels are scheduled to open at Stampede Park in 2028, 2029, and 2030, respectively. The developments will be spearheaded by Calgary-based joint-venture partners Truman and Louson. The W and JW Marriott properties are expected to be among the tallest residential towers in Western Canada. Truman's chief operating officer Tony Trutina said: "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." Soaring at 69 storeys, the W Calgary tower is designed to include 157 guest rooms, 27 suites, and 239 branded residences. The property will feature a 7,500ft² Spa, a speciality restaurant, 16,259ft² of meeting space, a FIT studio, and a rooftop bar. Residents will have access to exclusive facilities and a private entrance. The JW Marriott hotel will stand at 62 storeys, featuring 248 guest rooms and 120 branded residences. Amenities will include 32,500ft² of meeting space, indoor and outdoor pools, a JW Market, a JW Garden, a retail area, and additional facilities. These announcements build on Truman's recent collaboration with Calgary Stampede to create a 320-key hotel operating under the Autograph Collection Hotels brand. This full-service property will offer 320 guest rooms, 15,000ft² of meeting and event space, and 14,000ft² of food and beverage options, including multiple restaurants, a lobby bar, and a rooftop lounge. A name for this hotel will be unveiled later this year. Marriott International Canada chief operating officer Paul Cahill said: '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.' These projects will provide a total of more than 700 premium and luxury hotel rooms and nearly 360 branded residences. This development meets the growing demand for accommodations near venues such as the BMO Centre and the upcoming Scotia Place event centre. With a combined investment of C$1.47bn ($1.1bn) from Truman and Louson, these projects are expected to support more than 9,100 jobs while under construction and create over 2,000 ongoing positions in operations and tourism. Earlier this year, Marriott International broadened its Canadian portfolio with the launch of Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Halifax. "Marriott to launch three new hotels in Canada by 2030" was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.
