Ottawa Hotels with Bars

This is Ottawa's oldest top luxury hotel, located at the entrance of the Rideau Canal, with an excellent location. Living here, whether you are going to Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, Byward Market, or the National Gallery, it is only a five to ten minute walk away. Staying at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier Hotel is like walking into the castle where princes and princesses live in fairy tales. Thick carpets are spread under the feet, luxurious chandeliers, European columns and round arches, and the long corridors are brightly lit... You can feel the retro era and aristocratic atmosphere everywhere.

Hi Carson & Mark, and staff: it's J and E, thanks for making our stay 5 stars! This hotel is perfectly located for a stay in Ottawa, being a short 800 metre stroll to the Parliament Buildings, War Memorial, National Arts Centre, Rideau Mall, and very close to the National Garllery of Art and Byward Market . We stayed in Room 2223 which afforded a breath taking view of the entire Ottawa Skyline - treat yourself to this Executive King Corner Room. Breakfast at Spin in the Hotel was very good, and priced fair. In/Out Parking on site is also fair and convenient. The hotel was built in 1972 but is well maintained and kept super clean. BIG shout out to MARK at the Front Desk who is absolutely so Personable and went above and beyond the call of duty for us. And of course...CARSON, what can I say, he is the Manager that all Managers should strive to be, very very accomodating! Thanks Ottawa Marriott...we'll be back soon!!!

Great hotel; rooms were clean and reasonably spacious, and the amenities were very nice. Hotel gym was small but well-appointed. Restaurant is large and had a great view; food was adequate, nothing special, and pretty expensive for what it was.

Our room in this hotel was fine - comfortable king-size bed, adequate size, and clean. The staff at the front desk seemed a bit overwhelmed, suggesting that they might have been understaffed. However, they were polite and helpful when it was our turn. My issue with this hotel is more based on the exterior - TONS of construction in the neighborhood, leading to road closures everywhere. Fortunately, we were there on a Saturday, so it was quiet - but I can't imagine what it sounds like during a weekday! We also had to park in a surface lot on the next street over (paying $30C for the privilege), as the height limit for their underground parking garage is only 5'7” (!). The lot was basically a construction site headquarters, and unmarked by the hotel. We parked there and crossed our fingers, hoping we were in the right place, and that our car would be there the next morning (it was). Breakfast was mediocre at best - it was equivalent to the standard fare served by Hampton Inns everywhere. At least it's free there - we spent $50C at this hotel! These issues marred our experience, and I would have preferred to stay in an area where there wasn't much construction.

Neat and tidy hotel room; convenient location to visit downtown Ottawa. Disappointed as we were assigned to a room on ground floor, but have requested a quiet room on high floor in our booking months ago. Also, the accessibility to the ground floor is outside the hotel through an outdoor parking lot.

We stayed in this hotel during our visit to Ottawa, surprisingly the rooms are quiet big. We got a twin queen size beds that could fit 4 people. There was a fridge in the room, which is a bonus. The bed was so comfy to my liking. The toilet was also huge and the shower was powerful. The cleanliness of the hotel and room was also good. The hotel staff was friendly and accomodating. Although, during check in there was some mistake from the receptionist, we requested few months ago a connecting room as were travelling with the family, but then she give the connecting room to other guest just 3 minutes upon we arrive. I think thats the only downside. There was a swimming pool in the hotel, but it's also under renovation that time. We were told we can use the neighboring hotels pool as complimentary, which few blocks away to walk. So we didnt use it. For the breakfast its not included on the prize, but you can purchase it in the hotel. It was actually a good breakfast and tastes good. There was a bar in the hotel which I recommend you try the Canadian beer its so refreshing and tastes good. The bar men even advise us places to visit on our next stop. I recommend this hotel, its so close to to parliament and tourist spots in Ottawa. Will definitely go back here in our next visit.

The hotel name indicates that this hotel is located in the city center, with Capitol Hill and Chinatown within a 15-minute walk. It only takes 6 subway stops to reach Ottawa Train Station and only takes 15 minutes. Perhaps for environmental reasons, the hotel does not actively provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, and bathrobes. Please note.

From the geographical location, it is similar to several other hotels around. It is very close to Capitol Hill. It is no problem for the 4-year-old children to go by themselves. We originally planned to watch the light show, but the baby was not so late. If you don't watch the light show, it is best to live near the market, convenient to eat and drink. Spit the so-called garden view room, through a window of ordinary size, you can see two walls on the left and right (somewhat like a patio), and a narrow street in the distance. I feel that the garden view room is useless. Finally, spit and stop, the hotel does not have self parking, can only give the keys to their people, let them stop. The keys are always in their hands, they want to use the car or take things from the car through them (you can call or go to the lobby to find them, about 10-15 minutes to get the car, depending on how busy they are). Of course, this kind of ”high-end service” is to pay the money (30 knives)... After the spit is finished, the parking service varies from person to person, I don't like it. I wish you a happy trip!

Stayed at the Novotel for a week in early Feb 2023 while attending a conference at the nearby Westin. I booked for a really low rate through hotwire. After a pleasant check in I was excited to come into a very large on the 8th floor with a separate seating area and a very large TV. Room was pretty clean although when packing up before check-in I found some items under the bed that did not belong to me. Location was perfect, right across from the Rideau Centre and the Westin/Conference Centre and within a short walk to the Parliament Buildings, Sparks Street and Byward Market. My only compliant is the walls must be paper thin as I could hear the ding of the elevator and conversations in the hall from my room. I was also there a four hour during a power outage in the evening. I assume the outage was unscheduled but there was a lot of confusion and no one at the front desk when it occurred. The hotel shares a building with a DND office which made it confusing leaving the building by the stairs as the stairway lead to a entrance that read ”DND property alarm will sound”, it took awhile to figure out how to exit by the stairs.

Pretty nice hotel, we were satisfied with our stay. We were visiting for 4 nights 5 days and took advantage of our complimentary breakfast. Was decent minus the coffee. Wasn’t very good but we are picky with our coffee so pretty minor. Location was great as we could walk to just about everything we wanted to see. Rooms were clean and liked the setup. Staff were friendly and the bartender at the restaurant had a great attitude. (Can’t remember his name sorry) If I had one complaint it would be there’s a bit of a wait for elevators when busy as there’s only two to serve 17 floors. Overall very nice hotel, definitely recommend
