PBA Group of Companies has announced a summer opening for the Element by Westin Calgary Downtown hotel.
The 226-key property is a transformed Canadian Centre at 833 4th Ave SW, made into an extended stay hotel focused on wellness and sustainability.
The 168,000 square feet hotel also has two new spots—Wander Coffee + Cocktail and Bow & Bend. The Element offers spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens, a huge boon for anyone coming for a longer stay. The location is right across from Prince’s Island Park with walkable access to downtown and the Bow River.
“We’re proud to be working in partnership with the City of Calgary as part of its Downtown Calgary Development Incentive Program, which is helping reimagine underused office space and breathe new energy into the city’s core,” says Erika Jansons, director, marketing and communications, PBA Group of Companies.
Calgary’s office market has faced challenges in recent years due to fluctuating demand and changes in the local economy. The Element Hotel project removes 170,000 square feet of vacant office space from the market, reflecting a growing trend where developers repurpose commercial properties into residential or hospitality uses. This is the first hotel project to be part of Calgary’s Downtown Development Incentive Program, which aims to reduce office vacancies and drive investment into the core.
