Construction is officially underway on the first of three hotels planned for Calgary’s Stampede Park. The 13-storey, 320-room Autograph Collection by Marriott broke ground this month and is set to open in 2028. Backed by a $330 million investment from Truman, this project is a cornerstone of the evolving Culture + Entertainment District and a key complement to the expanded BMO Centre.
Site preparation—including demolition and utility relocation—began in July 2025, with excavation now ramping up. The hotel is expected to boost hospitality capacity as the BMO Centre continues to attract major conventions: 327 events were hosted last year, with over 200 already booked through 2032.
Two more hotels—W Calgary and JW Marriott Calgary—are also planned nearby, with over 700 rooms set to be added within walking distance of Stampede Park. Together, these projects underscore growing confidence in Calgary’s tourism and events-driven growth strategy.
