City Stays

Properties inside or beside a city centre, each weighed by what is within walking distance of the door. Four addresses, four different kinds of "city" — from a resort town on the Ottawa riverbank to a big city's airport edge.

Hilton Lac-Leamy, Gatineau, Quebec

Hilton Lac-Leamy

Gatineau, Quebec · 4-star (★★★★☆)

Gatineau sits across the river from downtown Ottawa, and this four-star hotel sits on the water's edge of the Canadian side. A resort-tempered city stay: the river in front, the capital's lights behind it.

Caesars Windsor, Windsor, Ontario

Caesars Windsor

Windsor, Ontario · 4-star (★★★★☆)

On the Detroit River at Windsor's waterfront, this four-star resort is a self-contained city stay: the water at the door, and everything the property offers gathered on its own grounds.

Medicine Hat Lodge, Trademark Collection by Wyndham, Medicine Hat, Alberta

Medicine Hat Lodge, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

Medicine Hat, Alberta · 4-star (★★★★☆)

Medicine Hat is a small city, and this four-star lodge sits just off its centre — a practical base for the plains, with the town's streets and services close by on foot or by a short drive.

River Rock Casino Resort, Richmond, British Columbia

River Rock Casino Resort

Richmond, British Columbia · 4-star (★★★★☆)

In Richmond, on the Fraser, this four-star resort sits at the edge of the Vancouver metro, close enough to the airport to be the logical first or last stop. A waterfront resort that functions as a city-adjacent stay.

As with every page in this guide, the changing details — what is on offer, what it includes, whether a given date works at all — live on each property's official listing page, which is where every row above leads. For the other half of the collection, the Rooms and Regions page reads five further properties the same way, from the region outward — and Guest Insights explains why the guide stops exactly where it does.
