Beautiful Calgary practically nestles against the Rocky Mountains while the Bow River merrily gushes nearby. This Canadian city is a big draw amongst tourists thanks to its natural endowments and idiosyncratic events.

And if you thought the only shopping area in the world was Singapore or Dubai, think again. Calgary has one of the world’s greatest shopping districts in the dynamic Eau Claire area with over 60 stores, services, and restaurants, and as many as six Cineplex screens. There are some great luxury hotels in the vicinity too, like the Sheraton Suites Eau Claire. Catering to the well-heeled, this five star luxury hotel is greatly sought after due to its location. The lovely white soft linen and the sandstone tiled bathroom are truly enticing.

If you are in time for the Calgary Stampede you might prefer to stay in the Westin Calgary which is one of the few ink’);” rel=”external nofollow” target=”_blank” href=”http://travel.justluxe.com/?ref=dex” title=”five star hotels “>five star hotels that will give you a special offer for the event. The Calgary Stampede happens to be a festival, rodeo, and exhibition rolled into one; it is also one of the most spectacular shows held on earth every July. Don’t miss the Stampede Parade on the opening day as it is truly colorful and peculiar to the ethos of the place.

The Westin Calgary also has a lovely pool where you can relax and enjoy yourself. Rather interestingly, this luxury hotel is divided into two with one half which is quite ancient and comprises the larger suites. The second half has smaller but modern rooms. The Eau Claire Market is pretty approachable from this luxury hotel.

The slightly la di da crowd, however, would prefer to stay at an ‘icon’ five star luxury hotel like the Fairmont Palliser. The rooms are large and comfortable and there is a traditional lobby that actually looks quite cool. What is more, there is also a luxury spa beneath the lobby that you can avail of and relax in.

From the Fairmont Palliser you can walk over to the Calgary Tower where a dekko from the observation terrace is a must- the city looks spectacular from up top. There are 762 steps that take you there but before you panic let it be known that there are two elevators waiting in attendance to take you up in a jiffy.

Going past the Calgary Tower into Chinatown you will find yourself walking beside the banks of the Bow River. A leafy paradise, surely.

Do take the time to drive up into the Canadian Rockies with its spread of national parks and snow-topped mountains. The scenic splendor is calculated to leave the most seasoned traveler breathless. The only downside (during summer) is that its hilly town of Banff tends to get frightfully crowded while hotel prices shoot up sky high.

Away from the hustle-bustle of the town, you might want to take a walk in Johnson’s Canyon, one of those rare beauty spots practically untouched by human civilization. Hikers, of course, love the Kanaskis and skiers sites like Lake Louise.

Calgary, in sum, is a great tourism place.
