Staying in Oakville
Oakville is a lakeside town west of Toronto, built around Downtown Oakville, which centres on Lakeshore Road and holds shops, restaurants and cultural venues. Oakville Harbour and Sixteen Mile Creek are the focal points for waterfront activity, and the town is also home to the Oakville Galleries and the Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre. The Waterfront Trail runs along the lake, and the town keeps a network of parks and trails.
These nine hotels sit away from the lakefront, in the commercial and highway areas that hold most of Oakville's accommodation: Winston Park Drive in the north, plus South Service Road, Wyecroft Road, South Sheridan Way, Sherwood Heights Drive and Argus Road closer in. They range from 3.7 km to 7.8 km from the centre, with the QEW and Highway 403 within easy reach. Couples get fireplaces, Jacuzzis and lounges; families get family rooms, kitchens and indoor pools; business travellers get business centres, banquet rooms and free parking. Every hotel on the list is 3-star, rated between 3.6 and 4.4 out of 5.
