				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/getting-around-in-downtown-calgary/">Getting Around In Downtown Calgary</a></p><div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"><p>Some cities are easy to get around in. Calgary is not one of those cities. Between its sheer size, under-developed transit, and a downtown core composed of one-way streets and hour-dependent parking, it’s frustrating for long time residents to get around, much less new travellers. If you find yourself in our lovely downtown core, and you’re looking for a good way to get around, here’s the scoop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a class="zem_slink" title="C-Train" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.1225,-114.206666667&amp;spn=0.005,0.005&amp;q=51.1225,-114.206666667 (C-Train)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">C-Train</a></span></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/c-train.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1790 aligncenter" alt="c-train" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/c-train-300x195.jpg" width="300" height="195" /></a></p>
<p>The Calgary C-Train system has experienced nearly a decade of sustained growth. However, due to several more decades of inattention it is still woefully under-developed for the size of the city it services. In Calgary’s downtown Core, riding the C-train during either the morning or evening rush hour will give you an excellent idea of how a sardine feels when it’s being stuffed into a can. During the winter, it’s uncomfortably warm, you’re pressed up against fellow travelers on all sides and it smells bad. In the summer it is just as crowded and smells worse.</p>
<p>There is still no C-Train stop that services the airport.</p>
<p>There are a few positive points to consider; during the middle of the day it is not very busy, and you can ride within the downtown core for free. So, if you’re just going a handful of blocks, and it is sometime between 10 AM and 4 PM, this is an excellent way to get around. Otherwise, take a cab.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Taxi Cabs</span></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/calgary-taxi.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1791" alt="calgary taxi" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/calgary-taxi-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Also a problem (this is why so many people drive themselves around in Calgary, there’s no problem-free transit of any kind), there aren’t enough taxi’s in the city to service the population. This is due to the small number of Cab Companies in the city doing an excellent job of suppressing the municipal government from issuing more cab licenses.</p>
<p>This effectively means that there will be times when it is almost impossible to get a cab on short notice. For the most part, there are enough that will respond quickly during business hours in Calgary’s downtown core. However, if the weather is bad, or there’s a large event going on (Stampede, Global Petroleum Show, etc) you should order a cab as far in advance as possible.</p>
<p>Also, you should be aware that a cab ride to the airport can cost upwards of $40. Fortunately, there is one other option if you need to get to <a class="zem_slink" title="Calgary International Airport" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.1138888889,-114.020277778&amp;spn=0.03,0.03&amp;q=51.1138888889,-114.020277778 (Calgary%20International%20Airport)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">YYC</a>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Airport Shuttle</span></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/airport-shuttle.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1792" alt="airport shuttle" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/airport-shuttle-300x189.jpg" width="300" height="189" /></a></p>
<p>Thank the Holy and Blessed Flying Spaghetti Monster for the Allied Limousine Airport Shuttle. Limousine it is not, but for $15 per person, per trip what do you expect? This speedy little shuttle bus plugs the giant gaping hole in <a class="zem_slink" title="Downtown Calgary" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.0480555556,-114.071388889&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=51.0480555556,-114.071388889 (Downtown%20Calgary)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">downtown Calgary</a>’s transit strategy by providing pick up and drop off service for every hotel in the downtown core.</p>
<p>The only downside is how little leeway they give anyone running a few minutes late. They operate on a fixed 30-minute schedule, and they will wait a maximum of 5 minutes before jetting off to their next rendezvous point. This means, if you book them, make sure you are outside the hotel and waiting for them at the exact time they said they will be there for pick up. Otherwise, well, there’s always the Taxi Cabs.</p>

Use Red Arrow.</span></b></h3>
<p>This is a great alternative to the two most commonly used options, driving yourself and flying. At <a href="http://www.redarrow.ca/trip/select-trip">an average cost of $70.48</a> for a round trip, it’s a pretty economical way to get back and forth between <a class="zem_slink" title="Calgary International Airport" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.1138888889,-114.020277778&amp;spn=0.03,0.03&amp;q=51.1138888889,-114.020277778 (Calgary%20International%20Airport)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">YYC</a> and <a class="zem_slink" title="Edmonton International Airport" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=53.31,-113.579444444&amp;spn=0.03,0.03&amp;q=53.31,-113.579444444 (Edmonton%20International%20Airport)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">YEG</a>. They’ve also got power hookups for your laptop, which enables you to get some work done on the way down (or watch a movie, whichever). The chairs are far more comfortable than those at Greyhound. Also, you’re not really missing anything in terms of scenery, if you’ve seen the prairies once, you’ve seen them all.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Travelling To <span class="zem_slink">Downtown Calgary</span> Between May and October? Bring An Umbrella.</span></b></h3>
<p>Weather in Alberta is notoriously wild. If you ask anyone who has lived here for more than a few years they’ll boast about having experienced snow in every month of the year. It’s a strange thing to brag about, but then again, we Albertans are strange people.</p>
<p>One of the positive aspects of our weather is how quickly it will change. We often get furious storms in the spring and fall, but it’s rare for them to last for any longer than an hour. We hardly ever get dumped on for multiple days. One of the downsides is the absolutely epic hailstorms the city attracts. This makes it much more worth it to bring an umbrella (that doubles as a hail shield) with you rather than a rain coat. Alternatively, you can just duck into one of the many café’s or pubs in downtown Calgary and wait out the inclement weather.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Travelling To Downtown Calgary Between October and May? Bring a Parka, and Some Shorts<br />
</span></b></h3>
<p>On the flip side of the calendar, if you’re here any time anywhere near winter, be prepared for winter conditions. Calgary doesn’t really experience a smooth transition into a Spring season. Mostly, the weather bounces between summer conditions (20 Celsius and the pub patios are open) to <a href="http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2010/11/24/16290826.html">absolute winter conditions</a> (-18 Celsius, it’s snowing, and the windchill makes it -24). If you’re going to be here between during our volatile shoulder seasons, bring a warm jacket. Also, shorts. You’ll probably get to wear both of them in the same trip.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Need a Cab? Order In Advance.</span></b></h3>
<p>There is, has been, and probably always will be a shortage of taxi Cabs in downtown Calgary. There’s a lot of different components to the problem, the Cab company’s don’t want any more licenses issued by the city, the city itself is the 2<sup>nd</sup> largest in North America (no, really) so what cabs there are get spread out over a huge area, and not having a <a class="zem_slink" title="C-Train" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.1225,-114.206666667&amp;spn=0.005,0.005&amp;q=51.1225,-114.206666667 (C-Train)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">C-Train</a> route to the airport (only 4 more years, guys!) means that during busy periods it can be next to impossible to find a cab when you need them.</p>
<p>This is why you should pre-book when possible. If staying at a hotel in downtown Calgary, have the front desk make the call for you. Speaking as one of those guys, we spend most of our day on the phone anyways. We  don’t really mind spending half an hour on hold.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Things-a-Hotel-Won’t-Tell-You-While-You-Check-in.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1726" alt="Things-a-Hotel-Won’t-Tell-You-While-You-Check-in" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Things-a-Hotel-Won’t-Tell-You-While-You-Check-in-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a>            There are quite a few hotels in downtown Calgary, and every one of them is different. Here at Nuvo Hotel Suites we have 32 apartment-style suites, but few amenities outside of that. We have no café or restaurant. There’s no bar or room service. We’re a <a class="zem_slink" title="Boutique hotel" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boutique_hotel" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Boutique Hotel</a>, and we have incredible rooms that are packed with high-end aesthetics and functionality, but that’s it. Essentially, we’re an apartment hotel.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Down the street from us and a titch closer to the center of downtown Calgary is our formidable adversary, <a class="zem_slink" title="Hotel Arts" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.3866666667,2.19611111111&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=41.3866666667,2.19611111111 (Hotel%20Arts)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Hotel Arts</a>. They are also a Boutique Hotel, but they have 50 rooms, an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and meeting/conference rooms among other things.  They’re also a Boutique Hotel, but they function very close to your standard Delta/Marriot/Westin model of operation. They do have pretty stylish rooms, though.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now the main lesson I want to drive home here is simple, if you are staying at a hotel brand that you have never patronized before, do not expect it to be the same as the last place you stayed at. There are several ways this sort of closed-minded thinking can bite you on the butt…</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Parking in <a class="zem_slink" title="Downtown Calgary" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.0480555556,-114.071388889&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=51.0480555556,-114.071388889 (Downtown%20Calgary)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Downtown Calgary</a> is Never A Sure Thing</span></b></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Reserved-For-CEO-Sign-K-85741.gif"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1730" alt="Reserved-For-CEO-Sign-K-8574" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Reserved-For-CEO-Sign-K-85741-150x150.gif" width="150" height="150" /></a>Some hotels here in downtown Calgary have their own Parkades. Most don’t. Some have open parking lots. Most don’t. In fact, the one thing that you can count on for parking in this city is that it is hardly ever free. I’ve mentioned this before but, in all of North America, Calgary is the 2<sup>nd</sup> most expensive city to park your car in. That’s right, the only other place on this continent where you can expect to pay more for the privilege of momentarily halting your car is Manhattan.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This awful parking situation has forced many of the hotels in downtown Calgary to come up with creative ways to deliver serviceable, reasonably priced parking to their guests. However, these solutions vary wildly from one property to the other.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><i><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Insider Tip:</span> Call ahead and ask about the parking. It’s probably written down somewhere in your confirmation e-mails but, let’s be honest, no one really reads those things.</i></p>
<h3><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">You Can’t Cancel An Expedia Booking Through The Hotel</span></b></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/expedia_old_logo.gif"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1725" alt="expedia_old_logo" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/expedia_old_logo-150x150.gif" width="150" height="150" /></a>            This is one is very understandable. You’re cruising around online and you find a great deal for a car rental + hotel room on Expedia. Naturally, you nail that sweet thing down. Then, the unexpected occurs; your boss is kidnapped by cyborg ninjas, you are attacked by a rabid <a class="zem_slink" title="Labradoodle" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labradoodle" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Labradoodle</a>, or after betting heavily against the Toronto Maple Leafs with corporate funds your COO is forced to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy, etc, etc.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">It happens.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a hotel we understand. The one thing we need you to understand is this: If you try to cancel that room through us, there is nothing we can do. Expedia (in this case) has made the booking for you. Expedia is holding your money. Expedia will not let us cancel the booking for you. There is nothing the hotel can do.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><i><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Insider Tip:</span> If you booked a hotel room through a Third Party Vendor (Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, etc)</i> <i>you must cancel through that same party. </i>    <i> </i><br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/cheap-parking-in-downtown-calgary/">Cheap Parking In Downtown Calgary</a></p><div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"><p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Calgary’s downtown parking rates are the highest in Canada and the second highest in North America. It’s not expensive for no reason, though. Calgary has one of the densest downtown cores in North America, and in a business community that’s driven by downtown-centric, high-earning Oil and Gas companies, if you want to do business in Calgary you need to be downtown.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> It can be tough to find a decent and affordable place to park your car in downtown Calgary, and while we do have our own parking stalls that we rent to our guests for $15/day, there aren’t many options anywhere near that price point anywhere else in downtown Calgary. But, there are a few here and there that aren’t too bad.</span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Cheap Pay Lots in <a class="zem_slink" title="Downtown Calgary" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.0480555556,-114.071388889&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=51.0480555556,-114.071388889 (Downtown%20Calgary)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Downtown Calgary</a></b></span></span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> There are not many of these. I’ve included some map links to a few lots spread out around Calgary’s downtown core that go for less than $20/day, but you can find many more of them on <a href="http://en.parkopedia.ca/parking/calgary/">Parkopedia</a>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=101+11th+Avenue+SE+calgary,+alberta&amp;hl=en&amp;sll=51.041525,-114.005487&amp;sspn=0.072207,0.209255&amp;hnear=101+11+Ave+SE,+Calgary,+Alberta+T2R+0G6&amp;t=m&amp;z=16">Beltline Square 101 11<sup>th</sup> Avenue SE $15/day</a></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Keep in mind that you can still park on many streets in downtown Calgary, but you have to be exceptionally careful about where you do it. One of my morning rituals is to sip a coffee while I look out the window of our check-in office at 6:59 AM to watch the droves of tow trucks line up at the end of 12<sup>th</sup> Avenue SW. By the time of I finish my coffee at 7:05, any cars that were foolish enough to park on the street overnight have been towed to the city’s the enormous tow lot. Don’t worry, you can rescue your car from that limbo, after you pay for the tow and the ticket, which is typically around $200 &#8211; $250. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> You see, in downtown Calgary, you have to be very, very careful where you park. If you make even a tiny mistake, you can fall victim to the strong arm of our horribly efficient parking authority. </span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>The Dark Legend of Park Plus</b></span></span></span></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Park-Plus-graphic.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1660" alt="calgary park plus parking system" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Park-Plus-graphic-300x222.jpg" width="300" height="222" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Devil went down to Calgary. He was lookin&#8217; for a car to ticket.<br />
He was in a bind &#8217;cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal.<br />
Then he came across this young man writin&#8217; up a ticket and writin&#8217; it hot.<br />
And the Devil jumped upon a Stampede Hay Bale and said &#8220;Boy, let me tell you what.&#8221;</span></span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8220;I bet you didn&#8217;t know it, but I&#8217;m a ticket giver, too.</span></span></em><br />
<em> And if you care to get some flair I&#8217;ll make a deal with you.</em><br />
<em> Now you write a pretty good ticket, boy, but give the Devil his due.</em><br />
<em> I&#8217;ll make a ticket-giving-car to help you out &#8217;cause hand written tickets are through.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>The Devil summoned up his car and he said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll start this show.&#8221;</em><br />
<em> And fire flew from his fingertips as he ticketed up Place Bow.</em><br />
<em> He drove the car across the <a class="zem_slink" title="Peace Bridge" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.90694,-78.90556&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=42.90694,-78.90556 (Peace%20Bridge)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Peace Bridge</a> and it made an evil hiss.</em><br />
<em> And a band of demons joined in and the devil said “Ahhh, bliss”.</em> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> As a system Park Plus is totally objective, very efficient, and very hard to game. For these reasons it is an administrator’s dream, and a motorist’s nightmare. Because all the tickets are catalogued and sent electronically based on a digital registration system, you have next to no chance of getting away without paying for your parking. The worst cases are when you accidentally go over your paid time by one or two minutes. If one of those Park Plus cars drives by, you will get a ticket in you mail. It truly is diabolical. </span></span></p>

It&#8217;s true that the winter weather can make you want to burrow into some sort of hibernation pod until June. But while the weather is still oscillating between Winter and Summer, one change you can bank on is the amount of Festivals, both indoor and outdoor that start happening. Starting next week, there’s some awesome events that are definitely worth stirring from your hibernation pods for.</p>
<div id="attachment_1643" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Calgary-in-Springtime.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1643 " alt="A giant spider and an acrobat attacking a herd of cows" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Calgary-in-Springtime-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I woke up for THIS? Put me back under.</p></div>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cirque Du Soleil: Amaluna</span></b></p>
<p>The latest Cirque du Soleil show inhabiting the big top on the Stampede grounds in downtown Calgary is pretty epic. While the main draw to any Cirque du Soleil performance is the incredible acrobatics and bulging muscles under skin tight leotards (Laaadies), the story the propels them can sometimes be draw enough on its own. Although, the leotards do help, of course.</p>
<p>Amanluna is basically an homage to William Shakespeare’s <i>The Tempest</i>, but concerns itself more with exploring archetypal female experience rather than the concurrent themes of vengeance and redemption that run through the original stage play. On top of the Shakespearean homage, there are also Clowns, Valkyries, Amazons, and (of course) a juggling Lizard-Man.</p>
<p>It’s an entertaining evening, to say the least.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Calgary Underground Film Festival</span></b></p>
<p>Like its larger brother, the Calgary International Film Festival, CUFF is a great chance to see some movies you otherwise wouldn’t ever get a chance to. The main difference between the two festival is that CUFF is a quite a bit weirder than CIFF. In fact, a lot of movies that don’t make it into CIFF because they are considered too fringe are shuttled across downtown calgary to CUFF, where they have the chance to shine like weird experimental diamonds.</p>
<p>Heading up this year’s lineup is the Giant-Creature Feature <i>Big Ass Spider</i>, a movie about a large arachnid. Other interesting features include <i>I Declare War</i>, which is apparently “<i>Stand By Me</i> meets <i>Full Metal Jacket</i>”, and <i>Vanishing Waves</i>, a sci-fi action piece set inside the manipulated dreams of a troubled young woman.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, what are you waiting for? Spring is here and it’s time to get out there and enjoy yourself!</p>

It’s a little nuts, for a new Brewery to start up it has to produce 250, 000 Litres of beer. That’s 500, 000 pints. Keep in mind that this is BEFORE you can get your license to sell the stuff.</p>
<div id="attachment_1620" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/calapooia-brewing-keg-stack.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1620" alt="giant stack of kegs" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/calapooia-brewing-keg-stack-300x204.jpg" width="300" height="204" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#8217;s a bit of an investment.</p></div>
<p align="center">It’s a bit of an investment.</p>
<p>            However, a loop hole in the law makes it possible for smaller <a class="zem_slink" title="Microbrewery" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbrewery" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">micro-breweries</a> to start up when they are attached to a restaurant. Thus, the <a class="zem_slink" title="Pub" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pub" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Gastro-Pub</a> is born. Downtown Calgary is unique in Alberta, in that it is home to several of these hybrid businesses. Now follow me as I don the mantle of Brew-stronaut, and guide you on this list of the best Micro Brews in downtown Calgary.</p>
<p><a title="Wild Rose Brewery" href="www.wildrosebrewery.com/"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wild Rose Brewery</span></b></a></p>
<p>Currently located on the <a class="zem_slink" title="CFB Calgary" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.013,-114.127&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=51.013,-114.127 (CFB%20Calgary)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Currie Barracks</a><span class="zem_slink"> (just south of Downtown Calgary)</span>, this brewery has been around for a while, and has an excellent setup going for them just south of the downtown core. They are definitely my top choice for best local brew, and you can find their products in many of the pubs, clubs, and taphouses in the city.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Best Brew: The Velvet Fog</span></p>
<p>Not only is this an awesome name for a 70s R&amp;B band, but it’s surprisingly light taste goes really well with some added citrus. Especially good in the summer, but acceptable all year-round, you can’t really go wrong with a pint of the Fog.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<p><a title="Brew Brothers Brewery" href="http://www.brewbrothers.com/"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Brew Brothers Brewery</span></b></a></p>
<p>Located in the heart of downtown Calgary in the District Brew-Pub, this inventive brew house sells its pints of Micro Brewed beer by the mason jar. Even if the beer wasn’t delicious, it’s worth dropping by for a bucket of bacon.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Best Brew: Black Pilsner</span></p>
<p>BP’s in general are an underrated beer. But if you have the spirit of a Brew-stronaut dwelling within your heart, you’ll find this medium-heavy beer to be delicious.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></b></p>
<p><a title="Brewsters Brewery" href="http://brewsters.ca/"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Brewsters Brewery</span></b></a></p>
<p>This is one is more of a chain of brew-pubs. The downtown Calgary franchise is the one we’re concerned with, though. Conveniently located right across from Safeway from us in downtown Calgary, I can highly recommend their burgers as an excellent pairing to the following beer suggestion.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Best Brew: Curly Horse IPA</span></p>
<p>Borderline smooth with some nice notes of citrus and pine-resin. This is an excellent example of a well-made India Pale Ale.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/weekend-activities-in-downtown-calgary/">Weekend Activities in Downtown Calgary</a></p><div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"><p>The last time I hung out with some Vancouverites the only thing they could talk about was how much better a city Vancouver is compared to Calgary. The conversation devolved into me ranting at them about the usual things you can make fun of a Vancouverite for (hobos, riots, hobo riots, HST, etc). But, it made me think that there are a lot of people out there who have no idea about the metropolitan charms of our (mostly) fair city. So, here’s a list of things you can get out and do this weekend instead of sitting inside and arguing with a smelly, Vancouver hippy like I did last week.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Calgary_panorama-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="English: View of downtown Calgary, Canada, as ..." alt="English: View of downtown Calgary, Canada, as ..." src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/300px-Calgary_panorama-2.jpg" width="300" height="67" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">English: View of downtown Calgary, Canada, as seen from Crescent Heights bluff during sunset.

<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Drink</span></b></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/A-pint-of-beer-0011.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" alt="Calgary is home to more Micro Breweries than any other city in Alberta" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/A-pint-of-beer-0011.jpg" width="332" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Calgary’s reputation as a party city only seems to apply when Hockey is involved. This is quite unfair, as there is currently any number of ways for a visitor to our fair city to get hammered with the utmost output of fun. Currently, it is the middle of March so the patios are all still closed. But, there remains a great amount of indoor recreational imbibery available to the discerning traveller. If you’re looking for something uniquely Calgarian, you can try some Micro Brew. While Alberta Liquor Laws are shamefully unfriendly towards start-up breweries, the majority of the ones that exist in the province are located in <a class="zem_slink" title="Downtown Calgary" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.0480555556,-114.071388889&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=51.0480555556,-114.071388889 (Downtown%20Calgary)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Downtown Calgary</a>. If you do end up having a few too many, <a title="Weekend Hotel Package with Nuvo Hotel Suites" href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/weekend-hotel-package-with-nuvo-hotel-suites/Calgary-Boutique-Hotel">consider maybe getting a room somewhere</a>, or taking a cab home.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Shop</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Shopping-in-Calgary.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1606" alt="downtown calgary shopping" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Shopping-in-Calgary-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>One of the things that Downtown Calgary has deserved its reputation for is Shopping. Especially since the construction of the Cross Iron Mills property just north of the city, Calgary has become the consumer hub for most of Alberta, and even some of British Columbia. However, if you’re coming in on a weekend to do some shopping, make sure to get into the malls pretty quick. They fill up very fast, and if you’re like me and being stuck in a large crowd of people ranks among your nightmares then do yourself a favor and stay the night so you can effectively dodge the masses while still getting your shopping done. An excellent tactic is stay in a hotel the night before, check out early, then get your shopping done before the crowds arrive.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Show</span></b></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 136px"><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Cirque%2Bdu%2BSoleil" target="_blank"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="Cirque du Soleil" alt="Cirque du Soleil" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3705423.jpg" width="126" height="75" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cover of Cirque du Soleil</p></div>
<p>Or, you can see a show. There’s plenty of Movie Theatres in the city, but while you’re here, why not go with something different? From April 15 to April 21st you can drop in and visit the <a class="zem_slink" title="Calgary Underground Film Festival" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.045,-114.057&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=51.045,-114.057 (Calgary%20Underground%20Film%20Festival)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Calgary Underground Film Festival</a>, coming up in April we’ve got a great deal on <a class="zem_slink" title="Cirque du Soleil" href="http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Cirque du Soleil</a> tickets, or you can visit with Alberta Ballet while they Celebrate Mozart. On any given weekend in Calgary there can be any type of show, festival, concert, or performance that can give you a small glimpse of the Metropolis-Inside-A-Cowboy-Hat-Next-To-A-Cow that is modern Downtown Calgary.</p>

<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Maroon 5 March 7<sup>th</sup>, 2013 at Calgary <a class="zem_slink" title="Scotiabank Saddledome" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.0375,-114.051944444&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=51.0375,-114.051944444 (Scotiabank%20Saddledome)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Saddledome</a></span></b></p>
<p>This is the very first concert where our guests are able to choose our Concert Hotel Package. In case you don’t know who Maroon 5 is, but are still reading this article (maybe for more info on our Calgary Hotel Package?); here some links to their music. I assure you, if you’ve been anywhere near a radio in the last 10 years, you’ve heard their music.</p>

<p>            So… yeah. Here we go again. Coming into town for the Maroon 5 concert? Need to pick a cool hotel? Well, stay with us and get %10 Off the Hotel Suite, Secure Parking Underground (also free), and a $10 Cab Voucher (because no one likes being the DD). Hopefully, now this poor horse can get some rest before I have to thrash it again.</p>

<p align="center">A: Because it&#8217;s a Black Eyed Peas concert and one of you has taste.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/rimshot.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1513" alt="calgary concert hotel package" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/rimshot-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Ha! Ahhh, I’m just kidding. It’s because one of you is the Dreaded Designated Driver (But, in all seriousness, the Black Eyed Peas are horrible). While four of your friends are free to drink all the over-priced Saddledome beer they want, one of you has to stay sober to drive your group back to your hotel.</p>
<p>Here at Nuvo Hotel Suites, we’re trying to make concerts more enjoyable for everyone. Not only do we have a strict No Black Eyed Peas policy at the hotel, but we are also launching a new Concert Hotel Package available to any of our musically-inclined guests.</p>
<p>The new Concert Hotel Package we’re launching is fairly simple. Book a room. Mention that you’re here for a concert. Receive Free Parking and a $10.00 Cab Voucher. That way, you can drop off your car and cab your way to the big show in comfort and style (well, not really <i><span style="text-decoration: underline;">style</span></i>. I mean, come on, it’s just a cab).</p>
<p>The only thing we need from you is to take a peek at your concert tickets when you check-in. Not that you would lie to us just for Free Parking and a Cab Voucher…</p>
<p>Jonathan Meier is the Online Marketing and Social Media Coordinator for Nuvo Hotel Suites, a small <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boutique_hotel">boutique hotel</a> in downtown <a href="http://www.calgary.ca/">Calgary, Alberta</a> (to learn more about the Nuvo peruse the rest of the site, or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nuvohotelsuites">check out our Facebook Page</a>). When he’s not at his desk, he’s usually out in the mountains near his hometown of Canmore where he can be seen climbing, skiing, or doing anything at all that doesn’t involve computers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/weekend-hotel-package-with-nuvo-hotel-suites/">Weekend Hotel Package with Nuvo Hotel Suites</a></p><div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"><p>Long weekends are the greatest, and I will personally fight anyone who says otherwise. How can you go wrong with long weekends? Or weekends in general, even? There’s all the sleeping in, the Saturday morning cartoons, there’s shopping, movies to go see, restaurants to check out, and all the other things we all do on the days we aren’t at work. In fact, there’s only one thing that I really don’t like about weekends. The driving. Especially in downtown Calgary.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Calgary-traffic.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1502" alt="traffic in downtown Calgary" src="http://www.nuvohotelsuites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Calgary-traffic-224x300.jpg" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Calgary’s downtown core is a non-sensical grid from hell. One way streets. Streets that suddenly become one way streets. The abysmal ParkPlus system that will first confuse the hell out of you, and then automatically charge you a parking ticket if you are even one single minute late to get back to your car. Frankly, the city is over a hundred years old, and most of the streets in downtown just weren’t designed for anything remotely resembling modern day traffic. <i>Thanks, original settlers</i>.</p>
<p>But, don’t worry. Here at Nuvo Hotel Suites we’ve got your back. Stay with us for the weekend and take advantage of our Weekend Hotel Package that includes a <strong>free, secure, underground parking stall</strong>. On top of that you get <strong>%10 off</strong> the cost of your room, as well as the usual<strong> free WiFi</strong> goodness all of our guests receive. You can <a title="book now" href="https://bookings.ihotelier.com/Nuvo-Hotel-Suites/bookings.jsp?hotelId=17389">go ahead and book</a> this deal starting RIGHT NOW UNTIL THE END OF TIME. Or the end of June. Whichever comes first.</p>
<p>Jonathan Meier is the Online Marketing and Social Media Coordinator for Nuvo Hotel Suites, a small <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boutique_hotel">boutique hotel</a> in downtown <a href="http://www.calgary.ca/">Calgary, Alberta</a> (to learn more about the Nuvo peruse the rest of the site, or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nuvohotelsuites">check out our Facebook Page</a>). When he’s not at his desk, he’s usually out in the mountains near his hometown of Canmore where he can be seen climbing, skiing, or doing anything at all that doesn’t involve computers.</p>
