Getting To Know The Neighborhood
Downtown Calgary (20 mins): You’ll love being so close to the downtown core, where you can plan to visit all the main attractions like the Calgary Zoo, and Telus Spark Science Centre. Eat at incredible restaurants and get caught up in everything that famed “Cow-Town” has to offer.
University of Calgary (12 mins): If you have a student attending University here or considering enrolling, staying at The Highland makes visiting campus simple.
The Calgary Tower (21 mins): Don’t miss seeing the city from the very best vantage point. Calgary Tower is a must for visitors who want to take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the city you can’t get anywhere else. It’s a fantastic place for a memorable date night or family adventure.
Banff National Park (1 hour): Don’t miss out on the mountains during your stay with us. We recommend planning a day trip regardless of the time of year to either go skiing, boarding, hiking or just take in the beauty of the mountains up close and personal. It’s a must-see!
Calgary Stampede Olympic Park (25 mins): If you’ve come to see “the greatest outdoor show on earth,” The Highland is only a short 25-minute drive from the centre of the festivities.
The Highland is less than a 20-minute drive from the Calgary International Airport. We recommend having a personal car for running errands and getting around the city. However, public transportation and Uber, Lyft and taxi services all have a solid presence in the area.
