ith more than 35 years of international hotel experience renovating, rebranding, launching and relaunching hotels in the UK, Malaysia, Russia, China, South Africa and Bali, Ian Jones returned home to open The Westley Hotel, a boutique hotel part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection. He was an instrumental member of the team which transformed a 1970s office building on 4th Avenue downtown into a beautiful boutique hotel. The hotel is part of Silver Hotel Group, an ownership group with over 20 hotels across Canada. Opening on June 29, 2021, “The Westley Calgary Downtown Hotel is Hilton’s first Tapestry Collection Hotel in Western Canada,” says Ian Jones, the hotel’s general manager. “We are thrilled to bring some of the freshest, most vibrant boutique hotel rooms to our city.” With 104 rooms over four floors, The Westley offers everything a visitor could want during a stay including spacious bathrooms with refreshing rain showers, 24-hour room service, a large well-equipped fitness centre with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a 50-person meeting room for executive boardroom meetings or private upscale social events. The six different room types, ranging from comfortable king rooms to junior and 1-bedroom suites, are the perfect home base for business trips and weekend getaways. Regardless of the room type, guests enjoy the same high-quality amenities and features in all rooms including plush robes, SMEG kettle, mini-fridge, indulgently comfortable beds and Hilton’s smart room connectivity. Whether guests stay for one night or several, The Westley wants to ensure a positive experience and a fantastic night’s sleep, and their bright-star concierge will make it happen.
