Delta Hotels Kingston Waterfront stands at 1 Johnson Street in downtown Kingston, overlooking Lake Ontario and Confederation Harbour. Rooms have water views, free Wi-Fi for Marriott Bonvoy members, ergonomic workspaces and comfortable bedding, and some have in-room fireplaces. The hotel has an indoor pool, a whirlpool and a 24-hour fitness centre, along with AquaTerra, a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, and a lobby bar called The Vu. It is pet-friendly and smoke-free. We have not confirmed a formal star class, so the rating field is left at zero.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the harbour, within walking distance of Queen's University, Kingston General Hospital and Springer Market Square, with the Kingston bus terminal and a VIA Rail station nearby. City Hall and the cruise docks are a short stroll. Kingston Airport is about 9.6 kilometres away and the hotel does not run a shuttle, so plan on a taxi, which the hotel puts at about CAD 25 one way.
The rooms and the feel
This is a full-service waterfront hotel, so expect water views, work desks and good bedding, with fireplace rooms available if you ask. The indoor pool and whirlpool make it a good choice for families and for cold-weather stays, and the 24-hour gym is useful for early risers. AquaTerra serves meals through the day with views of the water, and its patio operates from June to September, so in November you eat indoors. Accessible rooms include roll-in showers, grab bars and hearing-accessible options.
Who it suits and what to know: choose it if you want a dependable base with a pool, a restaurant and a harbour view in the middle of the old town. On-site parking is charged by the day, at around 45 dollars, or slightly less for Marriott Bonvoy members, so leave the car for the day trips and walk the downtown. Pets are welcome with a fee. Check-in is at 3 pm and check-out at noon, and guests must be at least 18 to check in.
