Pet-Friendly Family Hotels in Calgary

17 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Calgary . Handpicked for families who want the best.

Calgary is an easy city to visit with both children and a dog: the Bow River pathway runs through downtown and Eau Claire, and Prince's Island Park sits a short walk from the centre. Pet-friendly family hotels cover every part of town. Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire puts a pool with a waterslide steps from the river pathway, Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary Downtown/Beltline pairs full kitchen suites with free bicycles near Calgary Tower, and by the airport The Westin Calgary Airport and Calgary Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel both provide pet bowls alongside an indoor pool for the children.

Calgary sits where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet, about an hour's drive east of Banff and the Rocky Mountains. The city has an extensive network of riverside pathways used by walkers, cyclists and dog owners, and parks such as Prince's Island Park lie a short walk from downtown. Families also head to the Calgary Zoo, Heritage Park and, every July, the Calgary Stampede.

🐕Why Calgary is Great for Hotels with Pet Friendly

Travelling with children and a dog means the hotel has to work for both: a pool or games room for the kids, and quick access to green space for morning and evening walks. Calgary hotels that combine the two save the family a separate outing every day. Kitchen suites help as well, since feeding a dog and children on different schedules is simpler with a fridge and a hob in the room, which Residence Inn and Sheraton Suites both offer.

Only a few Calgary hotels go beyond simply accepting pets. The Westin Calgary Airport and Calgary Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel both list pet bowls among their amenities, and both have an indoor pool for the children, which makes them a practical pair for families flying in or out with a dog. The Westin adds a hot tub, family rooms and a free airport shuttle, while the Marriott sits directly at the terminal with OraOxygen Spa services for parents. Elsewhere, ask the hotel what it provides, since most properties accept pets without listing extra equipment.

Downtown and Eau Claire give the best access to walks. Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire is steps from the Bow River pathway and has a pool with a waterslide, a hot tub and family rooms with kitchenettes. Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary Downtown/Beltline District, less than a kilometre from Calgary Tower, offers full kitchen suites and free bicycles, while Element by Marriott Calgary Downtown adds free bicycles and family rooms a short walk from Devonian Gardens. From any of these, a dog walk along the river and a family visit to the tower fit into the same morning.

Self-catering makes a dog trip easier, because feeding times for pets and children rarely match restaurant hours. Executive Residency by Best Western Calgary City View North, the most reviewed property here with more than 3,500 reviews, has family rooms with kitchenettes, an indoor pool and hot tub and a free airport shuttle, and it sits close to the Calgary Zoo and Stampede Park. Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary South adds an indoor pool with a water slide and a daily buffet breakfast, a good fit for families who prefer quieter streets away from downtown.

Pet policies differ from one hotel to the next, so check the details before booking. Ask whether a fee is charged per night or per stay, whether there is a weight or breed limit, and whether a dog may stay alone in the room while the family is at the pool or out for dinner. Alt Hotel Calgary East Village and Alt Hotel Calgary University District are simpler modern options, with bicycle parking and billiards at East Village and family rooms a 12-minute walk from the Olympic Oval at University District, which suits families who mainly need a clean base close to green space.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Parent's take

For parents travelling with a dog, the most useful Calgary hotels are those where the morning walk and the children's day fit together. Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire sits steps from the Bow River pathway, so a walk by the river comes before breakfast and the waterslide pool rewards the children later. For an early flight, The Westin Calgary Airport, with pet bowls and an indoor pool, keeps the departure morning simple.

It sits at a higher price point than the airport-cluster hotels, reflecting the downtown location and full-service amenities.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Pet Friendly in Calgary

  • 1Confirm the pet fee, any weight limit and whether a dog may be left alone in the room before booking; policies vary between Calgary hotels.
  • 2For pet bowls on arrival, choose The Westin Calgary Airport or Calgary Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel, which both list them.
  • 3Staying downtown or in Eau Claire puts the Bow River pathway and Prince's Island Park within walking distance for morning and evening walks.
  • 4A kitchenette suite, as at Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire or Residence Inn Downtown/Beltline, makes it easier to feed children and a dog on different schedules.
  • 5If the trip starts or ends with an early flight, book an airport hotel with a shuttle, such as The Westin or Homewood Suites Calgary Airport, so the last walk is not rushed.
  • 6In winter, pack an old towel and paw wipes: snow and grit from Calgary's paths travel quickly into the room.
