Hyatt Place Edmonton West
A practical Edmonton stay for a waterpark weekend
About this hotel
West Edmonton Mall, home to World Waterpark, sits about 1.9 km from the property, close enough to fold a slides afternoon into the rest of the day without losing the morning to driving. The hotel's own pool takes the edge off a cold Edmonton evening once the wave pool has closed for the night, so the swimming doesn't stop the moment the family leaves the mall. Family rooms give toddlers a cot within reach of the adults and give teenagers a bit of their own space, which matters after a day spent going up and down the same stairs to the wave pool. Pets travel too, which is not something every waterpark stay in this city offers, and it is the detail that decides the booking for families who will not leave the dog behind.
- Free parking
- On-site pool

- Pet-friendly
Our take
Just 1.9 km from West Edmonton Mall and World Waterpark, Hyatt Place Edmonton West adds its own kids' splash zone and pool, a fitness room, family rooms, pet-friendly rooms and free on-site parking. Guests rate it 8.5 from 1,498 reviews. I recommend it to families with young children who will spend their days at the water park and want a short trip back to a calm room.
- ✓Ask for a room away from the lift if a nap is on the schedule after a long morning in the wave pool.
- ✓Eat breakfast before you leave, since a full slides day burns through energy faster than a normal one.
- ✓Confirm the pet policy directly if travelling with a dog, since charges can apply even where pets are allowed.
Why we love it
- Free on-site parking
- Its own pool for a second swim
- Pet-friendly rooms
- Family rooms sized for a slides trip
Why guests love itOur read on this stay: it earns its keep in the small moments rather than the big ones. A 3-star room a short drive from World Waterpark means the morning starts with breakfast instead of a long commute, and the evening ends with dry towels instead of another trip out. Hyatt Place Edmonton West is not trying to be the destination, and that is precisely the point for a family whose whole day already happened in the water.
