Hudson is located on the 6th floor and is an event hall/venue rental space. The venue is really nice and clean. Everything was spectacular. I really like the lighting of the venue. As well the venue walls are sound proof. The venue decor is very modern. I really like the chandeliers here. Hudson offers catered food (if I were to guess they must have got the food from downstairs at the Guild). Good quality and delicious food. Hudson is very classy looking compared to the Telus center and other venue event halls.

Azuridge is an amazing hotel with lots to offer! The service was incredible, the food was delicious…read moreand the rooms are immaculate! The lounge is a good way to get snacks and drinks! The restaurant is to die for and the staff are really nice. The view is one of the best parts. You aren't too far from Calgary but you seem to be in a completely different world! A gorgeous view of the mountains!!! All in all, 10/10!

The most magical place in Alberta!…read more A friend of ours attended a vodka tasting event at Azuridge and we were blown away by the pictures, the estate seemed like it came out of a magazine, not an amazing local place! We had hoped they would accommodate a tiny wedding, and they did not disappoint. Everything from the first email, to the subsequent visits, has been over the top amazing. I had considered waiting to write this until our event was completed, but honestly, you neeed to know about this place. It is so posh and perfect, everyone who works there is on fire to make your experience amazing. Entering the gate into the estate sets the tone for the experience you are about to have. We came to tour the estate, brilliant experience, they have every single tiny detail perfected. Our engagement photos followed by some drinks in the beautiful Opal dining room? The photos are stunning, and we were so touched that a server we had not met yet congratulated us on our upcoming wedding. We are probably not this venue's typical clientele, but we have been treated like royalty since our very first contact. If you are ever so lucky as to have the chance to work with Trevor, jump on that opportunity. He is so amazing at what he does and takes care of all the little details you might not have even considered, which just adds to the magic of this place. If you are looking to be pampered and spoiled, or perhaps a little getaway, you won't find a better place to go in Alberta.

The lower level restrooms are modern and clean (I didn't investigate the ones on the main floor). There is lots of parking and the neighborhood seems lovely, which also includes a kids park and an open, green field. I also noted the community garden on the property which adds a bit of a homey feel.

When I got there, I was a little bit confused by the architecture of the building and wasn't sure where I was supposed to go in. Finally, I made my way inside to what I believe to be the main floor. There wasn't a ton of space in here, but more than enough room to highlight some great vendors. I browsed some jams, rad terrariums, artwork, etc. I made my way upstairs, but again, the size of the building didn't allow for much capacity and I ended up feeling too close to strangers and left. Even though I once lived in Bridgeland, this is the first time I have visited this centre. Bridgeland is getting to be kind of cool, and I look forward to seeing more rad events like this in the future. Review 32/30 of Yelp's 30 day Challenge 2012

These days, it seems that most hoops are either privately owned by apartment complex or located on school grounds. The school hoops are all well and good during the summer and after school, but you don't wanna be creeping around there during the day. So, what to do? Well, if you're in the southwest, you can head to the Richmond Community Association which is located just beyond the Crowchild overpass on 26th Ave SW. They've got four basketball hoops (2 even have mesh - a true rarity these days!) inside a hockey rink on the grounds. The rink surface is extremely well maintained and the fenced in enclosure ensures you won't spend half your time chasing down errant shots. It's a great, free daytime hoops destination.

Whole Lotta Rozsa!…read more This is top notch social event venue containing a 350 - 400 (or so) Seat theatre, with a social gathering space large enough for everyone. It's the perfect place for lectures or concerts with a party/mingle before or after. I love the look of this building. It's engineered brilliantly for sound, is super classy, yet still kind of looks like a barn! Go Calgary! A concert hall is all about the combination of sounds being able fill the air, taking over every inch of space, and yet remain crystal clear, with each instrument from low to high being able to shine through and occupy it's on space in the mix and in the room. *Takes a deep breath and pushes his glasses back up on his nose* Hey Rozsa... you NAILED it!!

Probably the best acoustic space in Calgary is to be found in this lovely centre. The 'crown jewel'…read moreof the Rozsa is without question the Eckhardt-Gramatté Concert Hall. Having both performed and been audience to events at the 'E-Gre', I can attest without doubt that it is one of the finest acoustic and performative spaces in North America, if not the planet. The on-site tech department is very 21st century as well. How do I know this? Because my personal experience of performing there was not acoustic -- rather, electroacoustic. Very demanding electronics requirements are needed with such a performance. Our computer, midi, microphones, Disklavier, theremin and A/DSP's were QUICKLY connected and placed accordingly. At the end of our sound check, The sound-E informed us that he had us set up for DAT recording (surprise surprise!) if we felt so inclined. Formidable technicians, let me tell you. The 'E-Gre' also includes (for your pre and post performance pleasure) a couple of dressing rooms, a green room, guest room for a conducter/VIP, and a full rehearsal space, so you can get your sound check done right. The E-Gre is just short of 400 seats, but whoever fills them is lucky. The overall ADSR 'envelope' created by the standing waveform complex inherent to the space will make you drool. Sweeping glissandos, clipped yet soft-edge pizzicatos, bass that threatens to inundate yet keeps just enough away... piano, solo woodwind and strings are the sweet instruments for E-Gre. Do go. You will thank me. The Rosza may also show up on your 'radar' due to its ability to hold conferences. I have not experienced this yet, although I have attended a number of lectures and events -- the most recent being Wade Davis' invocation of the spirit of his Massey Lecture. Stunning ambiance, with an intermission space which is comfortable yet large enough to accommodate catering and book sales. I encourage anyone interested to may a point of experiencing the RC. Either booking it, or catching a concerto. You will want to go to there.
