Best Western Plus Village Park Inn to transition to Coast Calgary University District Hotel by APA on July 01st, 2026
Vancouver, B.C. – June 16, 2026 – Coast Hotels Limited, a fully owned subsidiary of APA Hotel Canada, Inc. and one of North America’s fastest-growing hotel brands and among Canada’s largest, today announced it is in the process of acquiring the Best Western Plus Village Park Inn in Calgary, Alberta, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon closing, the property will be rebranded as Coast Calgary University District Hotel by APA, effective July 1, 2026.
Located in Calgary’s northwest near the University District, the 160-room full-service hotel offers convenient access to the University of Calgary and McMahon Stadium, and is well positioned for both business and leisure travel. The property features on-site dining, meeting and event space, and a range of amenities designed to support group, corporate, and transient guests. It is also within close proximity to key attractions, including the Calgary Zoo, TELUS Spark Science Centre, Canada Olympic Park, and the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
“We are pleased to continue expanding our presence in Calgary with the acquisition of this well-established hotel. As our second owned property in the Calgary market, it complements our downtown location and strengthens our overall presence in the city,” said Takamasa Machiura, president and CEO of Coast Hotels Limited. “This hotel is located in a key area and aligns with our strategy of disciplined growth in important urban markets. We look forward to building on its strong foundation and welcoming guests to the Coast Hotels brand.”
The hotel will operate under the Coast Hotels brand and carry the “by APA” designation, reflecting its ownership by APA Group. Over time, the property is expected to incorporate select APA signature features, including 55-inch 4K HD televisions, TOTO® Washlets, and a range of in-room amenities aligned with APA’s Japanese hospitality approach.
This acquisition further strengthens Coast Hotels’ footprint in Alberta and underscores the company’s continued momentum in expanding its portfolio across Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest.
