10 Hotels near Ottawa Airport

Editor's Picks May 3, 2013 | Scott B.
Why these hotels? Travellers flying into Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) will find themselves slightly removed from downtown Ottawa and popular attractions like Parliament Hill and Byward Market. In addition, the area directly surrounding the airport is somewhat residential, without a lot to do or see within walking distance. I personally would probably pick a hotel in downtown Ottawa when travelling to the area, however if you truly need to be near the airport, I would recommend having a look at these hotels.
2431 Bank Street, Ottawa
3.9 km from Ottawa Airport
Not only is there a free shuttle to and from the airport but you can also get extended parking for up to a week included in the rate (special rate has to be booked to take advantage of this deal).

366 Hunt Club Road, Ottawa
2.2 km from Ottawa Airport
This hotel has a free on demand shuttle to and from the airport and allows extended parking for an extra $5 per day you leave your car, without having to book a special rate.

2259 Prince Of Wales Drive, Ottawa
2.8 km from Ottawa Airport
While there is no free airport shuttle, the rates at this hotel tend to be a bit less for standard rooms compared to other hotels near the airport. If you don’t require a free shuttle, this could be a good option to save a few dollars.

Editor's Tips May 3, 2013 | Heather W.
Location
Popular tourist attractions in downtown Ottawa, such as Parliament Hill, the Byward Market and the Rideau Canal, are roughly 15 to 20 km north of the airport and its surrounding area. If walking distance to these tourist destinations is desired then find a hotel in downtown Ottawa instead.

MacDonald-Cartier International Airport is located at the far south end of Ottawa, near the residential neighbourhoods of Revelstoke and Victory Hill. There are not many attractions within walking distance, so access to a vehicle while in this area is recommended if you are looking to explore.
Getting Around: Driving
There are a few transportation options to MacDonald-Cartier Airport. OC Transpo offers regular bus transportation from various points throughout the city to the airport. Taxi service is also readily available. According to an airport authority, average cab fare is around $30 to the airport from the downtown Ottawa area.

Travellers with access to a vehicle have a number of dining and shopping options within a 5-minute drive away from the airport, in the Bank Street and Hunt Club area. However, there is not much within walking distance in the area directly surrounding the airport.

The signage around the airport is well marked, and for those travelling in a vehicle, relatively easy to manoeuvre around. This may come as a relief to those that have driven in and out of airports in some bigger cities, which can be daunting to navigate due to complicated signage and multiple terminals.
Parking
There is a large covered parking garage for short term parking ($2 per 15 minutes, up to $19 daily maximum) located within a 2-minute walk of the airport.

Long term parking is outdoors ($2 per 15 minutes, up to $14 daily maximum or $65 weekly). This lot is a 7 to 10-minute walk away, so travellers with heavy luggage should take note.

A Park & Fly lot is just over a kilometre away from the airport, which offers self-parking and a shuttle to the terminal 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rates are $11.95 per day or $55.95 per week.
