The YukonHome/Where to stay/Stratford/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Stratford
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Stratford, Ontario, gathered for theatregoers and weekend visitors who want a comfortable base close to the Festival and the Avon River without leaving the town's small-scale charm behind.
Staying in Stratford
Stratford pairs a compact downtown with world-class theatre: the Stratford Festival draws visitors from around the world, and the Avon River, its gardens and the town's swans give the city its quieter character. Around 30,000 people live here, and beyond the stage there is the Stratford Perth Museum, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Stratford Art in the Park.
Most hotels on this list sit in the downtown and Festival District, where addresses on Ontario Street, Downie Street, Wellington Street and Erie Street put guests close to the theatres, restaurants and shops. A few are set slightly further out, on Church Street, Albert Street, St. Vincent Street North and Nile Street, still within the built-up town, while Westover Inn lies well outside the centre and Koch Haus Bed & Breakfast sits on Line 37. The mix of inns, suites and bed-and-breakfasts suits couples on a theatre break, families wanting space, and business travellers who need meeting rooms or a restaurant on site.
