5 Shops Unique to Calgary
Most of the properties managed by O Hotel Suites are only licensed to accommodate long term stays of a few weeks or more. This means that a lot of our guests are always looking for new things to try during their visit to the city. Calgary is geographically well positioned. It sits in the prairies on the Elbow and Bow rivers, a short drive from the Rocky Mountains to the west. While there's a enormous amount of activities to be had a short trip away from the city, the weather here in town doesn't always cooperate with plans for the outdoors. However, even in the city there's a lot that can be done. While there are lots of entertainment venues such as galleries, theatres, and the opera there are also some fantastic little Boutique stores that provide some excellent opportunities to find souvenirs of a trip to the heart of the Canadian west.
Souvenirs in Calgary
Lammle's Western Boutique:
Lammle's is the first name in western wear, and any trip to Calgary wouldn't be complete without checking out some genuine cowboy gear. You can find everything here from jeans to chaps. The easiest location to get to is the one downtown on Stephen Avenue, but there are several others scattered around the city.
Twigs:
This is actually a flower shop, which may come as an odd recommendation, but Twigs is worth going to see. The store carries more than just flowers, there are plenty of wearables and decorations as well. This one is also located down on Stephen Avenue, and there`s only the one location in the city.
Blame Betty:
This one is sort of a counter-culture fashion boutique. A lot of the clothing and items here stylish in a `damn the man` kind of way. However, if you`re looking for something a little bit different and a little bit edgy, this might be the store for you. It`s located down on 17th Ave.
