About The Residence Inn Kingston Hotel
Just south of Highway 401 and nestled on the shore of Lake Ontario overlooking Kingston Harbour, this new Kingston hotel features 141 spacious suites that are custom built for longer stays and include full kitchens, pull-out sofa beds, luxury bedding and separate areas for sleeping, working, dining and relaxing. With 95 studios, 27 one-bedroom suites and 19 two-bedroom suites, we have an accommodation style to suit the solo business traveler, the family on vacation, or the professional relocating to Kingston.
Space is key. Our suites are an average of 50% larger than normal hotel rooms. So you have separate areas for dining, working and relaxing. You have room to stretch out. Room to relax. If you need to work, a comfortable work station with high-speed Internet access and voice mail help you get through your “to do” list efficiently.
Helping you keep to your schedule is just one of the ways we make you comfortable. So you can choose when to take advantage of the pool, whirlpool and fitness centre. They’re just a short elevator ride away.
Breakfast is our treat
We help you get your day off to a good start with a complimentary hot buffet breakfast daily. And twice weekly we host gatherings in our Hearth Room – great opportunities to meet your fellow travelers and enjoy a complimentary snack.
Welcome back!
A very high percentage of Residence Inn guests stay with us time and again. The reason extends far beyond our comfortable accommodation. Our staff provides the services and human touch guests need to feel truly, completely comfortable, no matter how long their stay. It’s the way we strive to anticipate needs and work to provide intuitive support tailored to each and every guest. And that support is available 24/7.
Meeting spaces
In the summer of 2010, we will open the doors to 5,200 sq. ft. of flexible meeting space, including a spectacular ballroom with huge windows framing picture-perfect views of Kingston Harbour. Whatever the reason for your gathering, we will help you achieve just the mood you want.
Ocean-fresh Pool
Will you choose to begin your day with a swim, or end it with an ahhh moment in the whirlpool? Why not both? Our saltwater-treated pool offers the opportunity for an invigorating workout, or a gentle relaxing swim.
Staying fit
Every aspect of your well being is important to us. So we provide a wide range of equipment in our Fitness Centre – including an elliptical trainer, treadmill and free weights – to support you in your goal of maintaining your fitness regime. If you’d like to sightsee while you work out, jog along the shoreline of Lake Ontario.
Dining
If you like to ease into the morning gently, begin by making fresh-brewed coffee in your suite. For many guests, savouring that first cup of coffee without needing to dress and venture out is a necessity!
Any or every morning, you’re invited to enjoy the complimentary hot buffet breakfast served in our cozy Hearth Room. In spring, summer and fall, choose to have your breakfast on the harbourview terrace, with Lake Ontario as the backdrop.
Opening September 2010, West Seventy 6 Grille, our in-house restaurant will offer varied menu choices designed to suit every taste (including selections for kids). The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner, and provides room service.
If you have a special event to organize, our on-site catering staff will be able to provide meals for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

For those day-to-day necessities, leave your grocery list with us in the morning and we’ll deliver your groceries that afternoon. It’s just one of the services we provide to give you the freedom to do what you want to do, without worrying about details.
Meet the neighbours
Twice a week, enjoy complimentary light snacks in the evening in the company of other hotel guests at our social hour, hosted in our Hearth Room. It’s a great time to relax and unwind – and perhaps make a meaningful connection.
