Best Western Plus Port O'Call Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Calgary

The hotel operates an indoor Waves Water Park with water slides, leisure pools, and hot tubs that are only accessible to registered guests wearing wrist bands. During high occupancy, the hotel enforces one-hour booking slots between 5-10pm to manage capacity and maintain safety. A separate fitness center pool and spa area with dry saunas (featuring Bluetooth and lights) provides a quieter alternative for adults.

Skyharbour Grill offers all-day dining with mountain views and a brunch menu, while Jetz Bar and Lounge serves pub-style food and shows sports on large-screen TVs. Room service delivers draft beer and pizzas to guest rooms, and the hotel offers a breakfast buffet for a fee (adults $35, children half price). Special diet menus and kids' meals are available, and the bar hosts happy hour with wine and champagne.

A 24-hour business center with fax/photocopying services and a full-service conference center with event coordinators support corporate meetings. The fitness center is open from 5am to 10pm and includes an elliptical, treadmills, free weights, and a dip station. Locker rooms with sauna and steam room are available, and the hotel provides a shuttle service to Calgary International Airport (10 minutes away) between 4am and 10pm on weekdays.
