Choose From Generous Add-Ons Including 10% off Food and Beverage

On March 1, 2012, the Calgary Marriott Downtown Hotel, among University of Calgary hotels, will unveil its renovated and expanded meeting and event spaces. The hotel will celebrate its new space with a special promotion.

With the Three's a Charm promotion at this Calgary hotel near the convention centre, you can take your pick from valuable add-ons for meetings and events booked by March 1, and held by June 30, 2012. Add-on options include 10% off food and beverage rates, three meeting room Internet connections, a complimentary coffee break, a complimentary guestroom for every 35 booked, 25,000 Marriott Rewards® bonus points for the meeting planner, and 3% off the master bill if you sign within 10 days of receiving your contract.

The number of add-ons varies per meeting size, and expert planners are available to help with all the Calgary event-planning details. For meetings of 50 room nights or $15,000 spent, pick one add-on; for meetings of 51 to 75 room nights or $20,000 spent, pick two; and for meetings of 76 or more room nights or $25,000 spent, pick three.

Located next to the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, the expanded Calgary meeting rooms feature an additional 3,000 sq ft, with large windows offering a great view of the Calgary Tower.
