Matthews Southwest Hospitality to develop The C+E’s first hotel
$80-million ~220-room hotel will support guests and events at expanded BMO Centre and growing Culture + Entertainment District.
The C+E’s attraction of major investment takes first step forward
In late 2022, CMLC and the Calgary Stampede announced a new partnership with Matthews Southwest Hospitality—our selected developer partner for a BMO Centre convention hotel. The C+E’s first hotel will connect directly to Western Canada’s largest convention venue. This is the first major private investment in Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District since the master plan was completed in 2018.
Planned as a 4- to 4.5-diamond boutique lifestyle hotel, the new facility will welcome guests to approximately 220 rooms.
The 31,000 sq ft hotel site occupies a prime location in The C+E at the north entrance to Stampede Park.
Close to the Saddledome, Cowboys Casino and dozens of restaurants and shops, the hotel will have a direct interior connection to BMO Centre.
The new hotel will include four food and beverage offerings, a fitness centre and 11,000 sq ft of meeting space.
CMLC and the Calgary Stampede are pleased to announce a joint partnership with Matthews Southwest Hospitality (MSWH) for the development of a new convention centre hotel that will complement the dramatic expansion of Calgary’s BMO Centre.
This report provides an overview of the engagement efforts led by CMLC specific to the Master Plan process starting in 2017. It details findings of a joint public engagement program in collaboration with the City of Calgary.
