What makes Calgary Westways Guest House so special?

1. Our clean comfortable quiet guest rooms, the décor and furnishing reflect the Arts and Crafts period but they include many modern amenities. i.e. ensuite bathrooms, TV with free movie channels, DVD, telephone with voice mail, free internet access and air-conditioning. Our deluxe rooms have a jetted tub, gas fireplace, king bed and balcony.
2. We selected deep pillow top mattresses with the memory latex foam that cushions your body’s pressure points but maintaining the support the body needs. Window coverings have room darkening linings and the walls are insulated to cocoon you from the external world.
3. As our guests you are special so we take the time to set the breakfast table using sterling silver flatware and cruets, Royal Doulton bone china and crystal glasses. Your award winning chef/host provides a different breakfast experience for each day of the week.
4. We do not charge for local phone calls, high speed internet or off street parking. We provide complimentary tea, coffee, cans of soda and bottles of water.
5. Your experienced hosts Jonathon and Graham are here to facilitate your stay and to enjoy our neighbourhood and city. The river pathway is just half a block and a ten minute walk is the Talisman Centre, the second largest fitness centre in North America. In the opposite direction from Calgary Westways B&B and five minute walk is Fourth Street, renowned for its restaurants, pubs and cafes.

Calgary Westways and the Environment

Over the years we have made several improvements to the structure of this Calgary heritage home. Insulation in the walls, double glazing the windows, every year new caulking is applied. This helps to reduce the amount of natural gas and electricity used to heat, cool and light the house and still maintains a comfortable environment for our guests even when it is -30 degrees below Celsius. Other applications are listed below that helps to reduce our footprint on our environment.

• We are a partner in the Envest Environmental Stewardship Program supporting renewable energy.
• We recycle guests and our own plastic and guests bottles, glass containers, juice containers.
• Replacing regular light bulbs with low wattage florescence light bulbs and Xmas and garden lights with LEDs
• Electronic equipment i.e. Televisions, DVD players, cell phones and computers are taken to the Alberta Electronics Recycling Depots.
• Used clothing, linens are donated to the homeless agencies.

These are some of the actions we have taken; more will follow including recycling printed paper, composting household wastes, reducing our water consumption and household chemicals.
