Ottawa Airport Hotels

Airport hotel guide for overnight stays, early departures, and business trips at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

Park, Sleep and Fly at Ottawa Airport

Ottawa Airport’s own parking is cheaper than at bigger Canadian airports, so a hotel park-and-fly package saves less on parking here.

Airport parking rates

The airport’s published rates are a daily maximum of CAD 26 in the P1 parkade and CAD 21 in the P4 surface lot, with a weekly rate of CAD 105 and a monthly rate of CAD 210. Short stops are charged CAD 6 per 30 minutes. The airport has announced higher rates from January 1, 2027, so confirm before you travel, and check the airport’s own special offers page, which periodically discounts pre-booked stays.

Hotels with parking

Four of the five hotels include free parking for guests: Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Airport, Homewood Suites by Hilton Ottawa Airport, Days Inn by Wyndham Ottawa Airport and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Ottawa Airport. ALT Hotel guests use the airport’s covered P1 parkade, which the hotel lists at CAD 26 a day, or CAD 20 when booked through the hotel’s partner link.

Free guest parking normally covers the night of your stay, not the length of a trip abroad. To leave the car for the trip, ask the hotel what it charges. The Days Inn publishes daily parking for an additional fee and has spaces sized for trucks, buses and RVs.

Comparing the costs

At YOW, with a weekly rate of CAD 105, a park-and-fly package saves less on parking than at airports with higher parking rates. The hotel night is useful for an early flight, because it removes the early-morning drive. For a car left through an Ottawa winter, the airport’s P1 parkade is covered and the P4 lot is a surface lot.

If you are not driving at all, the O-Train Airport Link now reaches the terminal directly: see Ottawa Airport to downtown.
