Chateau Saint John Trademark Collection by Wyndham
A short walk from Stonehammer Geopark, near the theatre
About this stay
This is the highest-rated hotel on this list, and the location explains part of why: Stonehammer Geopark is a genuine short walk away, The Imperial Theatre sits 1.2 km out, and the University of New Brunswick Saint John is 4.7 km, close enough to combine a geopark walk with an evening show without much driving. Saint John Airport runs a true 14 km, roughly midway between the harbour hotels and the airport-strip properties. Rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, hairdryer and work desk, and a bar and lift add a level of finish over the budget properties nearby. A 24-hour front desk, minimarket and free on-site parking cover the practical side, and a nearby ice-skating rink gives a cold-weather option within reach.
- Near The Imperial Theatre
- Walk to Stonehammer Geopark
- Highly rated breakfast
- Free on-site parking
Our take
This is the pick for The Imperial Theatre over any other hotel on this list, since 1.2 km is close enough to walk to a show and back. Guest reviews consistently praise the breakfast, staff and room cleanliness, and it earns a real romantic-stay case on that combination of walkability and service. Anyone chasing a five-minute airport transfer should still book Best Western, since 14 km, while shorter than the shared-apartment listings, is not a quick hop.
- ✓Walk to The Imperial Theatre for an evening show rather than driving, since the 1.2 km route is genuinely manageable on foot.
- ✓Book the Stonehammer Geopark walk for morning or late afternoon light, since the short walking distance makes a return trip easy.
- ✓Ask the front desk about the nearby ice-skating rink schedule in winter, since hours shift with the season.
Why we love it

Why guests love itA couple booking a theatre night here usually walks the 1.2 km to The Imperial Theatre rather than driving, timing dinner at the on-site bar around the show's start. Reviewers consistently flag the breakfast and staff as standouts, which shows in how often guests mention them unprompted. The short walk to Stonehammer Geopark works well the next morning, before the 14 km run out to Saint John Airport for an afternoon flight.
