boutique hotel Ottawa
History buffs will enjoy experiencing the rich history of Canada in the many area museums dedicated to the past and present. ARC THE HOTEL, Ottawa’s preferred boutique hotel, offers easy access to the many venues that showcase the history of Canada’s land and the accomplishments of its people.
Just across the river from Parliament Hill you’ll find the Canadian Museum of Civilization, in its strikingly modern new home. The museum offers a comprehensive view of the rich heritage of Canada. The museum offers exhibits that focus on the Native peoples of Canada, offer life-sized displays dramatizing 1000 years of Canadian history, and highlight the unique personalities that have shaped the country’s past. The larger museum itself also contains the Canadian Postal Museum and the Canadian Children’s Museum. The Postal Museum focuses on the history of the postal service in Canada and around the world, exploring how the need to communicate over long distances has shaped technology. The Children’s Museum offers an interactive experience for all ages, giving visitors a Great Adventure as they travel through its International Village. Don’t miss the IMAX experience, with two different films offered daily, or the souvenirs and gifts in the museum’s boutique.
Just to the west of Parliament Hill is the Canadian War Museum, which offers a learning experience like no other in Canada. The museum’s many halls display exhibits on each of Canada’s wars and peacekeeping efforts, collections of war artifacts, military remembrances, and Regeneration Hall, the striking physical representation of hope that stretches toward Parliament Hill’s Peace Tower.
The Royal Bank of Canada’s Currency Museum offers a collection of coins and currency from around the world. In seven permanent galleries, the museum explores the history of currency throughout the ages in both Canada and beyond. Numismatists will especially enjoy the museum’s boutique, offering coin collecting publications and reproductions of the museum’s jewelry and coins. The Royal Canadian Mint also offers tours of its downtown Ottawa headquarters in the historic 1908 building. Learn about master tooling and the skill that goes into precision coin design.
ARC THE HOTEL is centrally located to easily access all of Ottawa’s learning opportunities. Let the Capital city’s only member of the Preferred Boutique hotels network be your host while you enjoy the heritage sites of Ottawa.
