Three small things that make it better

  • Leave the backpack in the room or the car; it will not get past the door.
  • Bring no water bottle either; outside drinks, even water, are not allowed in the hall.
  • If anyone in the group needs accessible seating, call (403) 385-3747 rather than buying online.

Upcoming dates are on the Event Centre page.

Pin your room request

Tell us the nights and the room. The Marlborough Play booking desk checks availability and the current rate with the hotel's own reservations or a booking partner and replies by email, usually within one business day.

  • This is a request, not a booking. Nothing is reserved until you confirm the reply.
  • No card details asked here, ever.
  • The site may be paid a commission on a confirmed stay: how that works.

Prefer to go direct? Hotel reservations: 1-844-719-8777.

Pinned. The desk will answer by email; check your spam folder if nothing arrives within a business day.
