Furry, four-legged friends just make life better.

No wonder nearly 60% of all Canadian households own a dog or a cat. And when it comes to travelling, it’s only natural that many of us want to bring all of our family members along for life’s big adventures. If you are planning a trip, the key to a paw-perfect getaway is knowing where to stay with pets in tow.

Know the Code

More hotels are welcoming pets than ever before, but not all pet policies are created equal. Be sure you read up on the hotel’s policy before booking your stay.

• Are additional costs, fees or deposits required?
• Is there a maximum weight or number-of-pets-per-room rule?
• Can you leave your pet unattended in the room?

Nothing puts a twist in your doggy leash quite like getting caught off guard about a surprise rule or policy upon arrival at your destination.

Calgary is for the Dogs

Bringing Fido along shouldn’t mean missing out on a memorable stay. We welcome travelers to downtown Calgary who don’t want to trade in that unique boutique hotel experience for a big-box option; just because their pet is along for the ride.

The Westley is the spot in Calgary to eat, sleep and meet, making it easy to dress-down or dress-up, stay in for the night or head out, and stay a while. That’s why it also makes perfect sense that this home away from home just wouldn’t feel right without your fur babies by your side.
