Hotel Kenney is a hotel near Jones Falls on the Rideau Canal in the township of Rideau Lakes, Ontario, Canada. Parks Canada describes the hotel as having been built as a fishing lodge in a period when excursion steamers operated along the canal.[1]

The hotel was built in 1888, on the site of an earlier building which had been destroyed in a fire.[2] It is open early May to late October.

The hotel was owned by members of the Kenney family for many years. In 2008, Franklin Folts, a clothing store owner and resident of Martha's Vineyard, bought the hotel at an auction.[3]

The hotel was nominated in Today magazine as "Best Small Hotel in Canada," the hotel's website claims.[4]
