Regina Airport Hotels Near YQR
Regina International Airport sits on the west side of the city, only a short drive from downtown, so a hotel does not need to be next to the runway to make an early flight easy. The closest listed stay is Home Inn & Suites Regina Airport, about 3 km from the terminal, and Days Inn by Wyndham Regina Airport West is the only hotel here that lists an airport shuttle. Fairfield by Marriott Regina and Four Points by Sheraton Regina describe themselves as near the airport. Many other tagged hotels sit in the east end, 8 to 20 km away, and I point them out below.
Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, a compact prairie city built around Wascana Lake and the domed Legislative Building. Its airport lies just west of the centre, and downtown, with Victoria Park and Casino Regina in the former Union Station, is easy to cross in a few minutes by car.
Short Drives and Shuttles to YQR
In Regina, the useful split is west or central versus east. Hotels near the airport and downtown keep the drive to YQR short and leave Wascana Lake and Victoria Park within reach for an evening. The east end along Highway 1 and Eastgate has many newer hotels with pools, but they are on the far side of the city from the terminal, which matters before a dawn departure.
For the shortest transfer, Home Inn & Suites Regina Airport is the practical choice. It is about 3 km from Regina International Airport, rated 8.5 by guests, and offers an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness centre, with some rooms that include kitchen facilities for a longer stay or a late arrival. Days Inn by Wyndham Regina Airport West, rated 7.9, is the only hotel on this page that lists an airport shuttle, and it adds a hot tub, a sauna and a daily continental breakfast, which keeps an early morning simple for travellers without a rental car.
Two more hotels describe themselves as close to the airport. Fairfield by Marriott Regina, rated 8.7, has an indoor saltwater pool, a hot tub, a fitness centre and family rooms, plus a restaurant with live music, which makes it the best-rated of the airport-side options. Four Points by Sheraton Regina, rated 7.1, offers an indoor pool, a hot tub, a restaurant serving local cuisine and free bicycles. Both suit a night before a flight when you still want a pool and a proper dinner without driving across Regina after dark on the evening before your flight.
Because the airport is so close to the centre, downtown hotels also work well before a flight. The Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection, rated 9.0, is a historic hotel with a restaurant and a hot tub near Victoria Park, and Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Regina Downtown offers a pool, a hot tub and a sauna, with the airport and the University of Regina a short drive away. Staying downtown also puts Wascana Lake and the Legislative Building within an easy walk or drive for an evening stroll before an early start the next day.
Many hotels tagged airport in Regina are actually in the east end. Comfort Suites Regina and Motel 6-Regina are about 8 km from the terminal, Sleep Inn Regina East is about 20 km away, and the Ramada Emerald Park, Travelodge Suites Eastgate Bay, Hampton Inn & Suites East Gate and Best Western Plus Eastgate Inn & Suites all sit on the eastern edge of the city. They are reasonable hotels for a road trip along Highway 1, but I would not choose them for an early flight from YQR, when every minute of the morning drive counts.
A traveler's takeBefore an early flight from Regina I recommend Home Inn & Suites Regina Airport: it is about 3 km from the terminal, rated 8.5, and has a pool and hot tub for the evening. Our advice if you have no car is Days Inn Regina Airport West, the only hotel here with an airport shuttle. I would avoid the east-end hotels around Eastgate and Emerald Park for a dawn departure, since they are on the far side of the city.
4.5The Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection
Airport · 241 reviewsHistoric elegance with a hot tub, fitness centre, and pet-friendly amenities
Why guests love itThe Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection is a historic hotel in Regina with elegant rooms, a refrigerator in each room and free WiFi. Its strengths lean towards couples, with an on-site restaurant, a hot tub and a fitness centre, and no pool listed, so I would suggest it for families with older children who appreciate an old building with character. Pets are accepted. The 9.0 score from 241 reviews is excellent.
4.4Fairfield by Marriott Regina
Airport · 278 reviewsFamily-friendly comfort with an indoor pool and pet-friendly options
Why guests love itFairfield by Marriott Regina offers air-conditioned family rooms with private bathrooms, and its indoor saltwater pool and hot tub make winter evenings easier with children.

It is close to Regina International Airport, and the 8.7 score from 278 reviews is reassuring.
4.4Residence Inn by Marriott Regina
Airport · 92 reviewsSeven-storey suite hotel at Pasqua and Dewdney, about a ten-minute walk from Mosaic Stadium, with breakfast and an indoor pool

The suites, from studios to one-bedroom layouts, have kitchen facilities, breakfast is included, and the indoor heated pool has a separate children's pool, which matters with toddlers. The hot tub and fitness room are for the parents. On-site parking carries a fee, and pets are accepted with a supplement. For a family that comes for a Roughriders game, the stadium is about a ten-minute walk, so children do not face the post-game traffic in the car. The setting at Pasqua and Dewdney is practical rather than scenic, and downtown is a short drive east. An 8.7 from 92 reviews reflects steady praise for space and breakfast.
4.3Home Inn & Suites Regina Airport

4.2The Atlas° Hotel
Airport · 782 reviewsA 200-room south Regina hotel on Albert Street with its own indoor Soaked! Waterpark and a Celtic pub
Why guests love itTwo waterslides and a spray zone under one roof are what families come for, and in a Prairie winter an indoor water park in the same building as your room changes a trip. Younger children have the interactive fountain and water curtain, older ones the three-storey slide, and parents the hot tub. The DISH restaurant serves all three meals, so no one needs to bundle up for food. Pets are accepted too. The downside is the crowd: weekend birthday parties fill the pool, and the south Albert Street setting means Wascana Centre and the downtown museums are a drive away.

Airport · 930 reviewsComfortable stays with an indoor pool, hot tub, and pet-friendly options

Rooms are air-conditioned with tea and coffee makers. Pets are welcome, which helps on prairie road trips. The 7.8 rating from more than 900 reviews suggests plain but dependable rooms, so expect value rather than style.
3.9Travelodge Suites by Wyndham Regina - Eastgate Bay
Airport · 883 reviewsFamily-friendly comfort with a fitness centre and spa in Regina
Why guests love itFor families passing through Saskatchewan, this is a no-fuss stop. Family rooms are air-conditioned, welcome on hot prairie summer nights, and come with private bathrooms and free WiFi for screen time after a long drive. The spa and wellness area gives parents a short reset, the outdoor seating area suits a picnic supper, and pets are allowed. It sits away from downtown Regina, so expect to drive to sights.
3.9Comfort Inn Regina East
Airport · 1262 reviewsHot breakfast, pet-friendly, and close to the airport
Why guests love itComfort Inn Regina East is a family-friendly, pet-friendly hotel that I would recommend to families who want a hot breakfast every day.

Why guests love itFamily rooms with free WiFi are the main family feature of the Hampton Inn & Suites East Gate in Regina, and pets are accepted if the dog is coming along. The 24-hour front desk and concierge service help with late arrivals and local questions, and an EV charging station is useful on a road trip. There is a fitness centre but no pool mentioned. The 7.4 rating from 172 reviews suggests average rather than standout comfort.
3.7Holiday Inn Express & Suites-Regina-South by IHG
Airport · 175 reviewsComfortable rooms, a spa, and pet-friendly convenience near Regina International Airport
Why guests love itFamilies will find family rooms, a fitness centre and a spa and wellness area here, along with a lounge and free private parking for the car. Pets are welcome, which helps on a long drive across Saskatchewan. The listing names no pool, so do not promise one to the children. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi. A 7.3 rating from about 175 reviews is the weakest point, so treat this as a practical overnight rather than a highlight of the trip.
3.7Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Regina Downtown
Airport · 207 reviewsIndoor pool, hot tub, and sauna in downtown Regina
Why guests love itFor families who want to stay in central Regina, the Ramada Plaza's indoor pool, hot tub and sauna are the main attraction, especially during the long prairie winter. Children can swim in the evening while parents warm up in the hot tub. The downtown location keeps restaurants and the city's main streets close, and the University of Regina and the airport are a short drive away. The hotel is pet-friendly, though the 7.3 rating suggests rooms are functional rather than modern.
3.6Four Points by Sheraton Regina
Airport · 246 reviews127-room hotel on Dewdney Avenue with an indoor pool, about 5 km from Regina Airport and a walk from Mosaic Stadium
Why guests love itFour Points Regina is a practical family stop rather than a destination. Every room has a fridge and a microwave, which covers bottles and snacks, and the indoor pool and hot tub give children somewhere to burn off energy; note that the pool closes at 9 pm. The restaurant and bar on site save a drive after a long day. For a Roughriders game, Mosaic Stadium is about an 18-minute walk, a manageable distance with school-age children. The airport is close, but there is no shuttle, so families flying in need a taxi or a rental car. With a 7.1 from 246 reviews, I would see it as a convenient bed, not a weekend treat.
