Pet-Friendly Hotels in Regina, Saskatchewan, and Dog Parks
For a pet-friendly hotel in Regina, stay downtown if you want to walk your dog to Victoria Park and Wascana Centre, or in the east end along Victoria Avenue East if you are driving the Trans-Canada and need fast highway access and free parking. Nineteen hotels on this page accept pets, and together they carry an average guest rating of 8.05 out of 10 across 8,669 reviews. The best rated is The Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection (9.0), facing Victoria Park downtown, followed by the Fairfield by Marriott and the Residence Inn by Marriott (both 8.7). Ten of the nineteen have an indoor pool, which matters in a prairie winter, and four have waterslides or a small water park. Below, I sort them by area, then add what most hotel lists skip: the five city off-leash parks that stay open all year, the seasonal rinks that turn into dog runs, and the leash and licence rules visitors should know.
Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, a flat prairie city organised around Wascana Lake and Wascana Centre, the park that holds the Legislative Building. It is a driving city: the Trans-Canada Highway skirts its east side, where most chain hotels cluster, while the compact downtown keeps the historic hotels, Victoria Park and Casino Regina. For a dog, that means grass and lake paths downtown, and fenced off-leash parks spread across the city's neighbourhoods.
Downtown or the east end with a dog?
Regina's pet-friendly hotels split into two clusters with very different days for a dog: a walkable downtown next to Victoria Park and Wascana Centre, and a car-based east end along Victoria Avenue East and the Highway 1 exits. Here is how each hotel fits.
Downtown, The Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection is the one I would book with a dog: it faces Victoria Park, has the best rating of the nineteen (9.0 from 241 reviews), and Marriott's pet policy for the hotel allows up to two pets per room. The Courtyard by Marriott Regina Downtown (8.3) has a 24-hour fitness room, and the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Regina Downtown (7.3) adds an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna. From all three, Wascana Centre, the large park around Wascana Lake and the Legislative Building, is a short walk south.
Also central, the Wingate by Wyndham Regina (8.1) and the Delta Hotels by Marriott Regina (7.9) sit next to Casino Regina, which occupies the former Union Station on Saskatchewan Drive. The Delta has an indoor waterslide and pool, so it suits a family travelling with both children and a dog. The Royal Hotel Regina, Trademark Collection by Wyndham (8.3) offers free private parking, rare downtown. The trade-off of the centre: fewer grassy patches right outside the door than on the suburban east side, so plan your late-night walk route. Both hotels are a few blocks north of Victoria Park.
At least eight of the nineteen are on the east side, along Victoria Avenue East and the Eastgate streets, and that side of town is built for drivers. The Sandman Hotel & Suites Regina (8.2) is at 1800 Victoria Avenue East, just off Highway 1, with an indoor pool and a 24-hour Denny's on site. The Travelodge Suites by Wyndham Regina - Eastgate Bay (7.7) is by a Trans-Canada exit at 3321 Eastgate Bay, with free parking and a 24-hour coffee machine. The Comfort Inn Regina East (7.7, the most reviewed at 1,262) has an outdoor picnic area.
For space in the room, the Residence Inn by Marriott Regina (8.7) has studios and one-bedroom suites with kitchens, about a ten-minute walk from Mosaic Stadium, and the Sleep Inn Regina East (8.1) has kitchenettes and barbecue facilities. With children, the Best Western Plus Eastgate Inn & Suites (8.4) and the Comfort Suites Regina (8.3) both have a water park, and The Atlas° Hotel (8.3) has the Soaked! indoor water park with two waterslides. Booking sites describe The Atlas° as accepting dogs only, so a cat may be turned away there.
The rest are simple stops. The Fairfield by Marriott Regina (8.7) has an indoor saltwater pool and a hot tub. The Hampton Inn & Suites East Gate Regina (7.4) has family rooms and an EV charging station. The Days Inn by Wyndham Regina (7.8) has an indoor pool and hot tub. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites-Regina-South by IHG (7.3) is the pick for an early flight from Regina International Airport. The Motel 6-Regina, SK (7.4), on Victoria Avenue East at the far east end, is the plainest option, with family rooms, for a single night on the road.
In Regina, five year-round off-leash parks open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.: Cathy Lauritsen Memorial at 2110 Forget Street, partly fenced and bordered by Wascana Creek; Ross Industrial on Solomon Crescent; Mount Pleasant on Winnipeg Street North; Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Park on McKinley Avenue; and Horizon Station on East Buckingham Drive in the east end. Mount Pleasant and Māmowimīwēyitamōwin have small-dog areas for dogs up to 11 kg and 46 cm tall. Only Cathy Lauritsen is not fully fenced, so a dog with weak recall is safer at the other four.
A traveler's takeWith a dog, I would book The Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection: it has the best rating of the nineteen, faces Victoria Park for the first and last walk of the day, and Wascana Centre is a short walk away. If I were crossing the prairies on Highway 1 and only needed one night, I would pick the Sandman on Victoria Avenue East for its highway access and the 24-hour restaurant downstairs. I would skip the east-end chains if my dog needs long walks without a car: the nearest fenced off-leash park is a drive, not a stroll. Travelling with children, I would choose The Atlas° Hotel for its water park.
4.5The Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection
Pet-Friendly · 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
Pet-Friendly · 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. The family-friendly restaurant serves British cuisine with live music, so dinner can stay on site. Pets are accepted, and an ice-skating rink nearby adds a seasonal outing. It is close to Regina International Airport, and the 8.7 score from 278 reviews is reassuring.
4.4Residence Inn by Marriott Regina
Pet-Friendly · 92 reviewsSeven-storey suite hotel at Pasqua and Dewdney, about a ten-minute walk from Mosaic Stadium, with breakfast and an indoor pool
Why guests love itResidence Inn Regina is one of the easier family bases in the city. 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.
4.2Best Western Plus Eastgate Inn & Suites
Pet-Friendly · 36 reviewsComfortable rooms with a waterpark, indoor pool, and hot tub
Why guests love itA waterpark sits alongside the indoor swimming pool at the Best Western Plus Eastgate Inn & Suites, which gives children a clear favourite, and adults have a hot tub and a fitness room. Breakfast comes with several options, a minimarket covers snacks, and parking on site is free. The 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals, and WiFi is free. Guests rate it 8.4 from 36 reviews.
4.2The Atlas° Hotel
Pet-Friendly · 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.
4.2Royal Hotel Regina, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
Pet-Friendly · 668 reviewsComfortable rooms, pet-friendly, and a continental breakfast in Regina
Why guests love itRoyal Hotel Regina, Trademark Collection by Wyndham is a dependable, simple stay for families passing through Regina. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and free WiFi, and a continental buffet breakfast gets everyone fed before the road. Free on-site parking is a plus with a loaded car, and pets are welcome. A 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals. There is a fitness centre but no pool listed. More than 660 guests rate it 8.3/10.
4.2Comfort Suites Regina
Pet-Friendly · 489 reviewsFamily-friendly suites with a waterpark, indoor pool, and hot tub
Why guests love itComfort Suites Regina is one of the easier family choices in the city because it has a waterpark alongside the indoor pool and hot tub, which keeps children busy through a prairie winter. Family rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, Wi-Fi is free and a continental buffet breakfast is served daily. Regina International Airport is 8 km away. With an 8.3 score from 489 reviews, I would book it for a weekend built around the waterpark.
4.2Courtyard by Marriott Regina Downtown
Pet-Friendly · 101 reviewsDowntown comfort with a restaurant, fitness room, and pet-friendly options
Why guests love itCourtyard by Marriott Regina Downtown puts families in the centre of the city, close to Casino Regina, with an on-site restaurant serving meals throughout the day. Rooms have a minibar, a microwave and free WiFi, which helps with snacks and simple evenings in. The fitness room is open around the clock, and pets are accepted. Guests rate it 8.3 from 101 reviews, a solid result for a downtown hotel.
4.1Sandman Hotel & Suites Regina
Pet-Friendly · 506 reviewsAn East Side Regina stop at 1800 Victoria Avenue East, with an indoor pool, a hot tub and a 24-hour Denny's downstairs
Why guests love itFor a family driving the Trans-Canada, the Sandman solves the evening. The indoor pool and hot tub burn off a day in the car, the 24-hour Denny's means no hunt for an open kitchen when children wake hungry or arrive late, and parking at the door is free. In a Regina January, the car park has plug-ins for block heaters, and the heated indoor pool keeps a swim on the evening plan. The East Side location is practical rather than pleasant: the shops around Victoria Avenue are reachable, but Wascana Park is about 4 km away, roughly five minutes by car, and downtown about ten minutes. I would book it for one or two nights with a car, not for a carless city break.
4.1Wingate by Wyndham Regina
Pet-Friendly · 401 reviewsCity centre comfort with a casino next door and pet-friendly rooms
Why guests love itRooms here come with a fridge and a microwave, which makes snacks and simple meals easy for families in central Regina, and the hot continental breakfast covers the morning. Pets are accepted, so the family dog can come along. One point to weigh before booking: the hotel sits right next to Casino Regina, so the immediate surroundings lean towards adult entertainment. I would still choose it for its central location and practical rooms.
4.1Sleep Inn Regina East
Pet-Friendly · 412 reviewsComfortable rooms with an indoor heated pool and barbecue facilities
Why guests love itSleep Inn Regina East gives families useful in-room extras: every room has a refrigerator, a microwave and a tea and coffee maker, so snacks and simple meals are easy. Children can use the indoor heated pool, there are barbecue facilities for summer evenings and a bar for the adults. Rooms are air-conditioned with free Wi-Fi. Regina International Airport is 20 km away. With an 8.1 score from 412 reviews, I would book it for a practical family stay in east Regina.
4.0Delta Hotels by Marriott Regina
Pet-Friendly · 243 reviewsIndoor waterslide, spa, and direct access to Casino Regina
Why guests love itDelta Hotels by Marriott Regina has the feature children ask about first: an indoor waterslide with a pool. Parents get a spa and wellness area, a hot tub and a sauna, and there is a restaurant, a lounge and a 24-hour fitness centre. Pets are accepted. Casino Regina is right next door, so the immediate surroundings are aimed at adults. The 7.9 score from 243 reviews is fair, but the waterslide alone makes it a family favourite.
3.9Days Inn by Wyndham Regina
Pet-Friendly · 930 reviewsComfortable stays with an indoor pool, hot tub, and pet-friendly options
Why guests love itDays Inn Regina is an easy, budget-friendly family stop: an indoor pool and a hot tub for evenings, a daily continental breakfast, and kitchenettes and sofa beds that give a family room to spread out. 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
Pet-Friendly · 883 reviewsA suites hotel at 3321 Eastgate Bay, off the Trans-Canada Highway on Regina's east side, with free breakfast and parking
Why guests love itTravelodge Suites Regina is a practical stop for families crossing Saskatchewan by car: it sits by a Trans-Canada Highway 1 exit, breakfast is free, and the one-bedroom suites give parents a room of their own. A dog can come along, with a fee. What it lacks for children is an indoor pool, since none is listed among its facilities. For a day in Regina, drive to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and its dinosaur fossils or the Saskatchewan Science Centre. I would book it for one or two nights on a road trip, not for a longer family stay in the city.
3.9Comfort Inn Regina East
Pet-Friendly · 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. Free WiFi is available throughout, and rooms have a 32-inch LCD TV and a private bathroom with granite finishes. Select rooms add a fireplace, a refrigerator and a microwave, so ask for one. A business center and an outdoor picnic area are also available.
3.7Hampton Inn & Suites East Gate Regina
Pet-Friendly · 172 reviewsFamily-friendly comfort with a fitness centre and pet-friendly amenities
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.
3.7Motel 6-Regina, SK
Pet-Friendly · 791 reviewsFamily-friendly motel with a casino, pet-friendly rooms, and airport proximity
Why guests love itFamily rooms at Motel 6-Regina, SK are air-conditioned and come with a refrigerator, a microwave, a TV and a private bathroom, which covers snacks and simple meals with children. There is a garden for some fresh air, WiFi is free in public areas, and the front desk is open 24 hours. Pets are accepted, and Regina International Airport is 8 km away. Guests rate it 7.4 from 791 reviews.
3.7Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Regina Downtown
Pet-Friendly · 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.
3.7Holiday Inn Express & Suites-Regina-South by IHG
Pet-Friendly · 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.
Local tips
- 1Keep your dog leashed everywhere outside the designated off-leash areas: City of Regina rules require a leash in all city parks and picking up after your pet under the Animal Bylaw.
- 2Pack your dog's current licence tag: the city requires dogs in its parks to wear a valid licence, and its dog park page says nothing specific about visiting dogs.
- 3Use Cathy Lauritsen Memorial at 2110 Forget Street for a run along Wascana Creek; there is a free lot and street parking on 13th Avenue.
- 4In winter, keep your dog off the frozen Wascana Creek beside Cathy Lauritsen Memorial park: the city advises owners to stay off the ice.
- 5For a small or nervous dog, choose Mount Pleasant or Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Park, the two year-round parks with a separate area for dogs up to 11 kg and 46 cm tall.
- 6From spring to autumn, eight boarded outdoor rinks become seasonal off-leash areas, including Glencairn, Leslie, Westhill and Rochdale parks; on school days they open only from 4 p.m.
- 7For 2026 the city has kept the seasonal rinks open until November 20, but outdoor rinks lock in early to mid-November for ice making, so check before driving over.
- 8If you need The Hotel Saskatchewan to take two dogs, mention both at booking: Marriott's pet policy for the hotel caps pets at two per room.
- 9Arriving late on Highway 1, book an east-end hotel such as the Sandman or the Travelodge Suites at Eastgate Bay: both sit by Trans-Canada exits with free parking.
