Family and Pet-Friendly Hotels at Montreal Airport
For families and travellers with pets, the points to compare at Montréal-Trudeau are room size, a pool, whether breakfast is included, and how many transfer steps there are between room and gate.
Best for families
Built for families. The Novotel Montreal Aeroport has the most family rooms: 40 of its 120 rooms are family rooms, 24 are connecting, executive rooms add sofa beds, and there is a play area, a green space and a kids’ menu at the Rivoli restaurant. The trade-off is location: it is a 15-minute drive from the terminal with no shuttle, so it suits families with a car.
Free breakfast near the terminal. The Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Montreal Airport offers studios and one-bedroom suites, soundproof windows, an indoor pool and a complimentary hot breakfast buffet, under a kilometre from the airport with a free shuttle. For a family of four, that is four breakfasts included in the rate.
No shuttle with small children. The Marriott Montreal Airport In-Terminal Hotel has no shuttle step: you walk from the room to check-in. The pool opens at 6:00 am, and suites run up to 87 sq.m.
Space to spread out. The Sheraton offers king kitchenette rooms and suites, and the DoubleTree has two-room king suites and a warm cookie at check-in.
Practical tips with children
Ask for a room away from the elevators, and check pool hours before promising a swim; most close at 11:00 pm and the Novotel’s wellness centre keeps its own schedule. Cribs and rollaways are usually available but not guaranteed on the day: request them at booking. For flights before 8:00 am, the Marriott or the closest shuttle hotels shorten the morning transfer; see the terminal guide for how early U.S. preclearance requires you to arrive.
Bringing a pet
Airport hotel pet policies change too often to quote reliably, and they vary by room type. Call the hotel and confirm three things: the pet fee per night, the size or weight limit, and whether the pet may be left unattended while you eat. The Novotel has ground-floor rooms and a green space for late-evening walks; around Dorval, ask the front desk for the nearest grass.

Are pets allowed at Montreal Airport hotels?
