Sonesta Hotels adds third Canadian location in Calgary

Over the past few years Sonesta Hotels went on a big expansion buying up hotel ownership companies that operated hotels under various big name brands and moved them into the brands operated by Sonesta. Most of this expansion was stateside but they did take on two hotels in the Toronto area including the InterContinental Toronto Yorkville which is now known as The Yorkville Royal Sonesta Hotel Toronto. Recently, Sonesta added a third Canadian location, the Hotel 11 Sonesta in Calgary. This hotel whch is situated near the Calgary Airport used to be the Wyndham Garden Calgary Airport.
