Pet-Friendly Hotels in Toronto Worth Booking

The Hazelton Hotel in Yorkville is a five-star luxury boutique hotel with a 9.5 rating from 178 reviews, and its indoor pool and hot tub give children a reason to look forward to the end of the day. Rooms have two flat-screen TVs and spacious marble bathrooms, useful when a family shares one room. The full-service spa is for parents, and pets are welcome with grooming and walking services. It suits families wanting a special stay.

Steps from Union Station, Le Germain Hotel Maple Leaf Square lets families arriving by train or UP Express reach their room without a taxi. The arena next door, the former Air Canada Centre, makes it a natural base for a hockey or basketball game. The restaurant and bar are on site, a fitness centre is available, and pets are welcome. Rooms are well appointed with modern amenities. Guests give the hotel an excellent 9.3 across 513 reviews.

A free airport shuttle and a fully equipped kitchen in each suite make Staybridge Suites Toronto Airport East easy for a family on a stopover or a longer stay. The indoor swimming pool and sun terrace give children and adults some downtime, and a fitness centre is on site. Rooms have a work desk and free Wi-Fi, and pets are welcome. The on-site restaurant serves Middle Eastern dishes.

Four Seasons Toronto is a five-star choice for families who want comfort above all. The indoor lap pool and hot tub are part of a full-service fitness centre, and the expansive spa gives parents real time to themselves. Rooms are modern with floor-to-ceiling windows and city views, which children tend to love at night. Café Boulud serves a globally influenced menu on site, and pets are accepted too.

Complimentary bicycles are a small family perk at Nobu Hotel Toronto, and the Japanese restaurant and bar mean dinner stays in the building. Rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi, a fitness centre is on site, and the hotel welcomes pets. A 24-hour front desk, a concierge and private check-in smooth arrivals. It is a five-star design hotel rather than a children's resort.

A family-friendly restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine and an indoor pool are what I would highlight for families at the Sutton Place Hotel Toronto. After a day exploring downtown Toronto, children can swim while parents book time at the spa and wellness centre. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and free WiFi, and pets are welcome, so nobody stays behind. Guests rate the hotel an excellent 9.2 across 903 reviews.

Le Germain Hotel Toronto is a boutique hotel in the entertainment district, and its 9.1 rating from 194 reviews is an excellent score for a downtown hotel. For families, daily breakfast and the restaurant keep meals simple, and the seasonal rooftop putting green gives children something unusual to try. There is a 24-hour gym but no pool mentioned. I would pick it for older children who can enjoy the downtown setting on foot.

The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto is a luxury option for families who want to explore Downtown Toronto on foot, with views of Lake Ontario and the city skyline. The spa and wellness center, hot tub and sauna are aimed more at parents than children, and no pool is listed, so I would suggest it for families with older kids. Pets are accepted, and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is close by. Its 9.1 score from 260 reviews is excellent.

The Omni King Edward Hotel is a five-star address in downtown Toronto, and I would recommend it to families who want a classic hotel with proper service. The air-conditioned rooms are spacious, the front desk and concierge work around the clock, and the family-friendly restaurant serves diverse cuisines, with vegetarian and gluten-free options. The spa, sauna and fitness centre give adults a break. Pets are welcome, which is not always the case at this level.

Shangri-La Toronto sits between the Financial and Entertainment Districts, and for families that location keeps walking times short. The indoor pool and hot tub are what children will remember, especially in winter. Rooms have city views, a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower, plus an iPad and Nespresso machine, so parents get a comfortable base too. The on-site restaurant saves planning on tired evenings. I would book it for a city break with older children who enjoy a polished hotel.

I would pick the SoHo Hotel Toronto for a downtown stay where the indoor lap pool and the spa area with hot tub and sauna give everyone a calm break between outings. Rooms are spacious, the in-room technology is modern, and the service is personalised, which helps when plans change. Pets are accepted. The waterfront and the major attractions are close, so short walks replace long transfers, a real plus with younger travellers.

1 Hotel Toronto has an outdoor swimming pool, a real treat for families during a Toronto summer, and a terrace for warm evenings. An à la carte breakfast is served daily and the on-site restaurant and bar cover other meals. Private parking, a concierge and a 24-hour front desk make arrivals and planning easier with children. I would choose it for families who want a polished, highly rated stay in Toronto with a pool in the warmer months.

I would suggest The Anndore House to families who want a stylish downtown Toronto base steps from Yonge Street and Yorkville, so shops, museums and the subway stay close. Pets are accepted, and the on-site restaurant and lounge make an easy dinner after a long day. Older children tend to enjoy the in-room vinyl record player, and room features can be controlled by a mobile app. Free WiFi and a flat-screen TV complete the rooms.

Hotel X keeps families busy without leaving the grounds: theatres, a photographic art gallery, extensive fitness facilities and tennis are all on site, and the Guerlain Spa gives parents a break. It sits on the historic Exhibition grounds with views over the waterfront and the city skyline, close to Ontario Place and the lake. Pets are welcome. It is not in the downtown core, but its 9.0 rating from almost 1,400 reviews makes it one of Toronto's standout stays.

The Yorkville Royal Sonesta sits in Toronto's Yorkville district, steps from the Royal Ontario Museum, which I would put at the top of a family day in the city. The indoor pool gives children a reward after museum time, and parents can use the spa and wellness area. The University of Toronto campus is also steps away for a walk, and the hotel is pet-friendly. Galleries, restaurants and boutiques surround it, so dinner never needs a long trip.

InterContinental Toronto Centre is a four-star downtown hotel steps from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and the CN Tower, and I would recommend it to families who want to walk to the big sights. The indoor pool and the spa suit a rest day, rooms have flat-screen TVs and mini-bars, and some look over the city or the lake. Harbourfront Centre is within walking distance, and pets are welcome.

Delta Hotels Toronto gives downtown families more room than many city hotels, with spacious rooms and an indoor heated pool that children can enjoy in any season. Parents get a hot tub and sauna, and a coffee machine in every room makes early mornings easier. A premium casual restaurant and in-room service mean dinner can be simple after a long day of sightseeing, and pets are accepted too.

I would recommend the Canopy by Hilton Toronto Yorkville to families who want a central base with an indoor pool. The saltwater pool keeps children happy after a day of sightseeing, and the sun terrace adds outdoor space in summer. Free bicycles make a fun way to explore with older kids. Rooms have seating areas and tea and coffee makers, and the restaurant, bar and coffee shop cover meals. Pets are welcome.

Ace Hotel Toronto is more of a design-minded city-break hotel than a family resort, but it works for parents with older children who want a downtown base. Rooms are air-conditioned with city views, free WiFi and minibars. The restaurant serves American and Mediterranean dishes, a coffee shop handles quick breakfasts, and a fitness centre is on site. Pets are accepted too, which helps families who travel with a dog.

Suites with fully equipped kitchens are the reason I would look at this Residence Inn near Toronto Pearson with children, since meals and bottles become easy to manage. The indoor pool helps after a flight, and the fitness centre is there for parents. Pets are accepted. WiFi is free in public areas, and on-site parking carries a surcharge, worth knowing if you arrive by car. It is a short drive from the airport, not a downtown base.

A complimentary shuttle to the Pearson terminals is the first reason I would book the Sheraton Toronto Airport for a family flight, since the airport is less than five minutes away by car. Add a glass-enclosed indoor pool that keeps children busy after a long flight and rooms with a refrigerator for milk and snacks. Free WiFi helps on a layover night, and pets are accepted too. It is an airport base rather than a sightseeing one, so plan a drive to reach downtown Toronto.

Hyatt Place Toronto Airport works well for families with an early or late flight from Pearson: the free airport shuttle removes the stress of the transfer, and the indoor pool helps children burn off energy before a long journey. The restaurant is family-friendly and serves American cuisine, rooms have tea and coffee makers, and pets are accepted. An EV charging station is available for families driving in to catch a flight.

I would suggest the Delta Hotels Toronto Airport & Conference Centre to families with a flight from Pearson, which is 7 km away with free transfers. That removes the taxi question with luggage and children. Rooms include a seating area, a desk and a flat-screen TV, useful when one parent works. A Starbucks and another restaurant in the lobby make breakfast and dinner easy, and WiFi is free. Downtown Toronto needs a long ride.

Toronto Airport Marriott is a full-service hotel near Pearson with a free shuttle, which takes the pressure off early family flights. Children can use the indoor pool, and the restaurant, café and bar on site cover every meal without a drive. Wi-Fi is free throughout and pets are welcome. For a day in the city, the UP Express train gives easy access to downtown Toronto. With an 8.1 score from 423 reviews, I would book it for a flight night.

The Westin Toronto Airport is a few minutes from Pearson with a free transfer, which makes it a calm choice for a family's first or last night. Rooms are spacious with plush bedding, a real help when children need a good night before a flight. The indoor pool gives them something to look forward to, and two on-site restaurants mean no driving at dinner. There is a fitness centre too. With an 8.1 score from 409 reviews, I would book it for flight nights.

Chelsea Hotel Toronto caters to families and has two indoor pools, which is the detail I would lead with for parents: children can swim whatever the season. College Subway Station is within 300 metres, so getting around downtown without a car is simple. Some rooms have balconies, worth requesting for a little extra space. Parents can use the sauna and hot tub, the hotel is pet-friendly, and on-site dining covers meals on busy days.

Crowne Plaza Toronto Airport is a four-star hotel near Pearson with a complimentary airport shuttle, and I would recommend it to families who want a pool near a flight. The indoor pool is joined by a fitness centre that never closes, an on-site restaurant and a business centre. Pets are welcome. The rating of 7.6 is middling, so I recommend it for convenience rather than for polish.
