For Patients and Visitors

Where to Stay When Your Child is Hospitalized

If your child is being admitted to the Hospital, we invite one parent or guardian to stay overnight with him or her at the bedside. Cots, sleep chairs and sleep sofas are available for your comfort.

If you're travelling to Children's Hospital from a distance and you or a family member needs a place to stay, you have many options available to you.
