A big announcement today from Marriott and Truman who will be bringing three additional higher end luxury Marriott Hotels to Calgary. Truman, a local Calgary developer has plans to build the tallest residential towers in Western Canada at up to 69 stories. The taller of the two towers will house the W Hotel and the other will house the JW Marriott. The Autograph Collection, will be the previously announced hotel to be on the Stampede Grounds next to the BMO Centre.
