Best Western Plus Airdrie Gateway
The fullest amenity set on the Gateway Drive strip
About this stay
This is the most full-service property among Airdrie's Gateway Drive hotels, pairing family rooms fitted with kitchenettes, microwaves and refrigerators with a lounge, concierge service and a business area rarely found elsewhere in the city. The child-friendly buffet breakfast is a genuine point of difference for families, alongside daily housekeeping and laundry service for a longer stay. Its Gateway Drive address sits directly off the QEII Highway on-ramp, roughly 21 kilometres from Calgary International Airport and 14 kilometres from CrossIron Mills. Couples rate the location 9.1 for a two-person trip, the highest among Airdrie's reviewed hotels. Daily housekeeping and laundry service add further convenience for a business traveller or family staying more than a couple of nights on the Gateway Drive strip.
- Family rooms with kitchenettes
- Child-friendly buffet breakfast
- Fitness room and lounge
- Free WiFi and private parking
Our take
This suits families and business travellers who want more than a standard chain-hotel room: kitchenettes for warming food, a lounge to work or relax outside the room, and a buffet genuinely built around kids rather than an afterthought. Guests wanting a quiet, lakeside setting should look toward the East Lake Crescent properties instead, since this sits closer to the highway on-ramp than to the park. The fitness room is functional rather than spacious, worth knowing ahead of a longer stay.
- ✓Request a kitchenette room specifically if warming up food matters for a multi-night family stay
- ✓Arrive early to the child-friendly buffet on weekend mornings, since it can fill up with local family traffic
- ✓Use the concierge for CrossIron Mills or downtown Calgary directions rather than relying on GPS alone near the highway interchange
Why we love it
- Kitchenettes in family rooms, unusual for Airdrie

Why guests love itBest Western Plus Airdrie Gateway is the Airdrie hotel I would book for a family staying a few nights: family rooms come with kitchenettes, unusual in town, so simple meals are easy. The buffet breakfast is child-friendly, and a lounge and fitness room give parents some space outside the room. WiFi and private parking are free, and Calgary International Airport is about 21 km away via the QEII Highway. Guests rate it 8.8.
