Ottawa hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Ottawa hotel deal

• If you want to stay in an area with views of Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, try a hotel like the Lord Elgin Hotel. In the winter, the canal becomes an enormous skating rink, and during spring and summer it’s surrounded by flowers and greenery.
• Hoping to explore museums during your trip? If so, choose a hotel located near the one where you think you will spend the most time. The Best Western Plus is across the street from the Canadian Museum of Nature, while the Fairmont Château Laurier is only a seven-minute walk from the National Gallery of Canada.
• For those who would like to stay in a centrally located area near a high concentration of restaurants, boutiques, and bars, look for a hotel in the neighborhood known as Byward Market, such as the Hotel Novotel.
• If you’re not planning to use a car while in Ottawa, consider staying in a pedestrian-friendly area, such as Sparks Street. Alt Hotel Ottawa is a great option in this area.
• To enjoy some shopping during your visit, book one of the many hotels near Wellington West, a trendy neighborhood full of unique shops and local food venues.
