4-star hotels in Gatineau
Four 4-star hotels and aparthotels in Gatineau, ranging from the lakeside Hilton Lac Leamy to compact studios on Rue De La Baie, for travellers weighing full-service resort amenities against self-contained stays close to the Hull sector.
Staying in Gatineau
Gatineau sits across the Ottawa River from the national capital, and its Hull sector holds the Canadian Museum of History alongside a dense cluster of restaurants and nightlife. Gatineau Park and the Casino du Lac-Leamy rank among the area's most popular draws, and the city works as a base for both city visiting and outdoor days. The hotels on this shortlist spread across the city. Hilton Lac Leamy is 2.5 km out on Boul Du Casino, Hotel V 2.6 km away on Boul. De La Gappe, and Fanny et Maxime 3.5 km out on Lessard Street. Chateau Cartier Hotel & Resort sits furthest at 8.0 km, on Chemin D'aylmer toward the Aylmer side. Couples and families gravitate to the full-service hotels with pools, spas and restaurants, while the studios, several with kitchens and washing machines, suit longer stays and independent travellers.
