With highly-rated airport hotels in abundance, Calgary is not only ready to greet you, it's ready to meet your needs. Most of Calgary's airport hotels are located in the same area of town and pose about a 15 to 20 minute drive to the airport, although some new hotels have popped up about a 5-minute drive away. In this day and age, airport hotels are the epitome of convenience offered to the busy (and sometimes weary) traveller, with many hotels offering free shuttle service to the airport, early morning buffet breakfast and even free parking while you travel away from the hotel onto your next stop.
