4-star hotels in Kingston
Nine 4-star properties in Kingston, from limestone-era inns near the downtown core to a waterfront Marriott and self-contained suites further out. Guest ratings across the list run from 4.0 to 4.9 out of 5, so it suits couples, families and business travellers comparing character against facilities.
Staying in Kingston
Kingston is a waterfront city of historic limestone buildings, home to Queen's University and Fort Henry, with the Thousand Islands, City Hall and the Rideau Canal among its best-known draws. Downtown is compact and walkable, with shops, restaurants and historic sites close together, and the water is never far away.
Most of these hotels sit in or just outside that downtown core: Frontenac Club Inn on King Street East, Kingston Marriott on King St E, Dwell Aparthotels on Colborne St and Hochelaga Inn on Sydenham St are all within roughly 2.6 km of the centre, while Delta Hotels by Marriott Kingston Waterfront on Johnson Street puts the lake on the doorstep. DoubleTree by Hilton Kingston on Princess Street and Adorable 4 bed 3 bath house on Spindlewood Street sit further out, All Suites Whitney Manor on Starr Place is 7.8 km from the centre, and Harlem Stonegate B&B on Harlem Road is listed without a distance. Couples gravitate to the inns, families to the suites and houses with kitchens, and business travellers to the Marriott properties with fitness centres and round-the-clock desks.
