Hotels near Lethbridge Airport, Alberta
Lethbridge Airport lies south of the city, and most hotels on this page state their distance to it, which makes the choice easy to compare. Ramada by Wyndham Lethbridge and SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Lethbridge are the closest, 5 km away, followed by Motel 6-Lethbridge at 6 km, Coast Lethbridge Hotel & Conference Centre at 7 km, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Lethbridge at 8 km and Wingate by Wyndham Lethbridge at 9 km. Wingate is also the only hotel here that mentions an airport shuttle, a paid one, which matters if you arrive without a car.
Lethbridge is the main city of southern Alberta, set on the coulees of the Oldman River and crossed by the long steel High Level Bridge. Its airport lies to the south of town. The city is known for the Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden in Henderson Lake Park, the University of Lethbridge on the west side of the river and strong chinook winds. Downtown and the ENMAX Centre sit close together, and many hotels cluster on the south and east sides, within a short drive of the terminal.
Where to stay
Closest hotels, a shuttle and pools
Lethbridge is a small airport city, so the real question is less the distance than what you need on arrival: a shuttle, a pool for the children, breakfast before an early flight or a sauna after a long day. I have grouped the hotels around those needs and kept to what each description states. Distances run from 5 to 9 km, short drives in all cases, but only Wingate by Wyndham Lethbridge offers a way to the terminal without a taxi or rental car.
The two closest hotels are 5 km from Lethbridge Airport. Ramada by Wyndham Lethbridge has a sauna and a fitness centre, and rooms come with a refrigerator, a tea and coffee maker and a work desk, with a score of 7.9 from 506 reviews. SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Lethbridge is family-friendly and pet-friendly, with a hot tub, a fitness centre, a daily continental buffet breakfast and interconnected rooms, scoring 8.3 from 178 reviews. Motel 6-Lethbridge, AB, 6 km from the airport, is the simplest option, with a microwave and refrigerator in each room and a 24-hour front desk.
Wingate by Wyndham Lethbridge, 9 km from the airport, is the only hotel here that describes an airport shuttle, which is paid, so I would book it if you fly in without a car. It also has an indoor pool, a hot tub, family rooms and free parking, and it scores 8.5 from 454 reviews, the best of the hotels that state an airport distance. Coast Lethbridge Hotel & Conference Centre, 7 km away, has an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness centre and an on-site restaurant, with a score of 7.6 from 228 reviews.
Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Lethbridge, 8 km from the airport, has an indoor pool with a view, a hot tub and a fitness centre, and lends free bicycles for exploring the area, scoring 8.3 from 148 reviews. Comfort Inn describes itself as near both the ENMAX Centre and Lethbridge County Airport, with an indoor heated pool, a hot tub, an exercise room and a free continental breakfast; it accepts pets and scores 8.0. For families who want more than a pool, Holiday Inn Lethbridge by IHG has a waterpark, though it gives no distance to the airport.
If the score matters most, Holiday Inn Express - Lethbridge Southeast posts 8.9 from 216 reviews, with an indoor pool, a fitness centre, express check-in and check-out and a varied breakfast with vegan and gluten-free options; it does not state a distance to the airport. Super 8 by Wyndham Lethbridge, half a mile from Henderson Lake Golf Club, and Sandman Hotel Lethbridge, with its indoor pool and Denny's restaurant, are central choices rather than airport ones, and neither mentions the airport in its description, so I would only book them for a stay in town.
A traveler's takeArriving in Lethbridge by plane without a car, I would book Wingate by Wyndham Lethbridge, the only hotel here with an airport shuttle, and confirm the fee when booking. With a rental car and an early flight, I would choose SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Lethbridge, 5 km from the terminal, for its hot tub and continental buffet breakfast. My advice: check the shuttle schedule in advance, since the description does not give it.
