Crowne Plaza Toronto Airport by IHG
Modern suites a short drive from the slides
About this hotel
Crowne Plaza Toronto Airport by IHG sits in the the Pearson airport strip stretch of the hotel corridor that most Splash Works visitors use as a base for a trip to Canada's Wonderland's outdoor water park. It sits within the broader the Pearson airport strip hotel cluster that most Splash Works families use as a base, a short drive rather than a long haul from the park gates. The indoor pool gives toddlers a second water fix on the days the outdoor park closes for weather, even though it does not run heated the way a small number of properties nearby do. Toddlers tend to gravitate toward the calmer end of the hotel pool while tweens and teens use it more as a wind-down after a full day of outdoor slides at the park. The strongest single reason to book Crowne Plaza Toronto Airport by IHG is the combination of pet-friendly rooms and its straightforward position in the the Pearson airport strip hotel cluster, rather than any one standout feature on its own.

Our take
Crowne Plaza Toronto Airport by IHG suits families travelling with a dog, given its position in the the Pearson airport strip cluster and its 3-star tier. It is not the pick for a family wanting more than a fitness-centre-level wellness offering, since the amenities here stay practical rather than aspirational. For a family whose main spend and energy is going toward Canada's Wonderland itself rather than the hotel, that trade-off is exactly the right one, and the rating of 7.2 among recent guests backs it up.
- ✓Book the the Pearson airport strip area early for peak summer weekends, since rooms here sell out faster than the wider Greater Toronto Area hotel market.
- ✓Confirm the pool schedule at check-in rather than assuming it matches the listing, since hours shift seasonally at several properties in this cluster.
- ✓Confirm the pet fee and any breed limits directly before booking, since policies are not identical across every pet-friendly hotel in this cluster.
Why we love it
- Pet-friendly rooms for travelling with a dog

Why guests love itCrowne Plaza Toronto Airport by IHG reads as a dependable rather than flashy choice for a Splash Works trip: the an indoor pool covers the days the outdoor water park is closed, and the 3-star rooms hold up well for a multi-night family stay. What stands out most on the editorial read is how little friction there is here, from pet-friendly rooms to the straightforward drive out to Canada's Wonderland, which matters more on a water park trip than any single flashy amenity would.
