nspired by the blue skies of the Alberta foothills, Azuridge Estate Hotel offers guests a private luxurious experience in a stunning location. The estate, nestled in the foothills surrounding the hamlet of Priddis, was once the residence of a prominent Calgary entrepreneur. In 2012 it was transformed into an incredible boutique estate hotel that offers white-glove service and pampering for visitors to the area, as well as Calgarians seeking a weekend escape. “We have beautiful rooms with absolutely stunning views of the valley and mountains,” says Jason Glynn, general manager and CFO of the Azuridge Estate Hotel. “The owners are geologists and the inspiration around the gem-inspired property, from the names of the rooms to the crystal therapy that makes the spa so unique.” The 13 rooms in the estate range from double queen rooms to family suites that feature a tent or single bed for the kids to the deluxe and premium suites with a posh sitting area, executive workspace and patio. No matter which space fits their needs, guests are sure to have an amazing time, a breathtaking view and a great night’s sleep. The Rhodochrosite Signature Suite is the pride of the estate, with its sophisticated décor, plush king bed, spectacular views through the floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive dressing room, inviting sitting room and opulent bathroom with twin vanities that is ideally suited for a bridal party.
