'''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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/on/rideau/visit/brochures5_e.asp|title=Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada - Jones Falls Lockstation: A Walking Tour|work=Parks Canada|accessdate=2009-02-19|archive-date=2013-01-02|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130102043318/http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/on/rideau/visit/brochures5_e.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref>
