The YukonHome/Where to stay/Gatineau/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Gatineau
A shortlist of 15 three-star hotels in Gatineau, from downtown Hull addresses to riverside inns in Aylmer and bed-and-breakfasts near Gatineau Park. It is for travellers who want a known class of hotel and a guest rating to compare before booking.
Staying in Gatineau
Gatineau sits directly across the river from Ottawa, and its historic Hull sector holds the Canadian Museum of History along with a concentration of hotels, restaurants and nightlife. The city's other sectors spread out along the Ottawa River toward Aylmer and north toward Gatineau Park, so what you see from your window depends heavily on which address you choose.
Most hotels on this list sit in Hull or just outside it: Rue Laurier, Montcalm Street, Boulevard Du Casino, Rue Bellehumeur, Greber Boulevard and Impasse De La Gare Talon all fall within roughly 4.1 km of the centre. Two sit further west on Chemin D'aylmer and Rue De Brouage, and another on Rue Dumas. That mix suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk Hull, business travellers who need meeting space, and families who want pools or apartment-style rooms, while the outlying inns suit drivers heading for Gatineau Park.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Gatineau is reachable by road from Ottawa across several bridges, including the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and the Chaudière Bridge. The city is served by the Société de transport de l'Outaouais (STO) bus network, which connects to Ottawa's OC Transpo system, and VIA Rail trains stop in Ottawa, with onward connections by bus or car. The nearest major airport is Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, about a 20-minute drive from downtown Gatineau. Inside the city, the Hull sector is walkable and well-served by buses, but a car is useful for Gatineau Park and outlying areas such as Aylmer.
When to go
The best time to visit Gatineau depends on your interests. Summer, June to August, offers warm weather and suits outdoor activities in Gatineau Park, festivals and events. Autumn, September to October, brings colourful foliage and comfortable temperatures. Winter, December to February, is cold and snowy but suitable for skiing, snowshoeing and winter sports.
