Parliament Hill is the political heart of Canada. It's also a beautiful icon in our city, as the Gothic Revival architecture perches on a hill overlooking the Ottawa River. In addition to being gorgeous to look at (and less than 2 km from our hotel!), the Hill is where all Canada's federal legislative branches are housed. You can explore the grounds, go on a guided tour of the historic building, and see the Changing of the Guard ceremony during the summer.

The Rideau Canal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stretches all the way from Ottawa to Kingston, over 200 km away. The historic locks, which date back to the early 19th century, are still manually operated, and the canal is actively in use. During the warmer months, you can go boating and kayaking on the canal or take a walk on the path. But a winter visit is a real treat: the canal turns into the world's largest skating rink with over 7 kilometers of maintained ice through downtown Ottawa!

ByWard Market is one of Canada's biggest and oldest markets, just a 9-minute walk from our hotel. Established in 1826, it's a lively space with restaurants, shops, and stalls to explore. Walk to dinner at one of the many cafes and eateries, browse the stalls, or enjoy public art and live music on the streets. Beautiful floral displays in summer and twinkling holiday lights in winter make every visit special. No trip to Ottawa is complete without time spent at this market, steps from our door.

The National Gallery of Canada is a major art museum that houses an extensive collection of Canadian, Indigenous, and international artworks. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the building is a piece of art itself, a glass and granite structure that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. Enjoy a day (or three) browsing the 93,000 artworks at this gallery, including photographs, paintings, and sculptures.
