Hotels in Ottawa

What characterizes the city's hotel scene are the unusually high percentage of suite hotels -- a reflection of the number of expense-conscious people who come to town on long-term government business -- and B&Bs, which cater to the large number of summer tourists on a budget. You can find some very chic rooms at Ottawa's top hotels -- particularly at Brookstreet, Hilton Lac-Leamy, and ARC The.Hotel -- but this is not a city that aims to wow you with over-the-top accommodations.

What you will find in Ottawa are some great views -- especially from higher, north-facing rooms at the Fairmont Château Laurier, the Westin Hotel, and the Delta Ottawa Hotel & Suites -- and hotels that are within walking distance to all the major downtown attractions. If you're used to paying in excess of C$200 a night in large cities, you may be pleasantly surprised at Ottawa's hotel rates; it's quite possible to find comfortable accommodations for much less than you'll pay in other cities of comparable size and interest.
