Hotel Arts said the incident was “isolated to the registered occupants of the guestroom and their guests,” adding that the safety of hotel guests was not impacted “in any respect.”
The hotel said it is playing a “supportive role” as police investigate, and has provided staff with a statement outlining the incident.
Police said both suspects are men between 20 and 30 years old.
One is described as six-feet tall with a slim build, and police say he was wearing a red winter coat and blue jeans.
Police said the second suspect was wearing a black puffy winter coat and dark jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call Calgary police at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
