| LEADING THE TEAM |
The Ground Hog has confirmed it- we have 6 more weeks of
winter!! We at the ARC invite you to come and enjoy the winter wonderland in
Ottawa. Skate on the Rideau Canal, enjoy a beavertail, take part in our
winter carnival, and then relax by the fire in ARC Lounge with a martini or
glass of wine. Canada's must do winter activities are just minutes away
from ARC The.Hotel, recently recognized by enRoute Magazine as the place to
stay in Ottawa & highly recommended for dining.
ARC Lounge, under direction of Chef Jason Duffy, has
recently launched a notable wine and cocktail menu on our new reservation
system, Open Table.
Chef Jason will also be launching a weekend table d'hote brunch menu, where he
will be preparing dishes with flare using ingredients from local farmers!
Technology is hot, and constantly changing to meet your
needs and make your stay memorable . Our concierge team has been working hard
to create a mobile app for you - our guests. You will have the ability to
pre-check in, order room service, arrange for housekeeping services, book a spa
treatment, make dinner reservations, or see what the local shopping
destinations are - all from the convenience of your smart phone! 'Yes, we have an app
for that!'
Don't forget your loved one this Valentine's Day. Book our
ARC of Love package and pamper your special someone with champagne, chocolates,
flowers, spa treatments or a sumptuous dining experience.

WINTERLUDE IN THE CAPITAL
|
Every February, Canada's Capital Region
is host to Winterlude, Canada's winter celebration. Three fun-filled
weekends of excitement and activity await the whole family! From
spectacular ice carvings to an amazing playground made of snow,
Winterlude is a great way to take in the best of our Canadian winter. Skate on the world's largest skating rink - right in the
heart of Ottawa! Marvel at majestic snow and ice sculptures or enjoy
spectacular shows under the winter sky. Our mascots, the Ice Hog
Family, are waiting for you in Canada's Capital Region, from
February 5 to 21, 2010.

| TABLE TALK WITH OUR CHEF |
It's that time of the year again. Winterlude is here and for
Arc Lounge this means a fun "Taste of Winterlude" menu for our guests to enjoy!
This year we took a different approach though, a five course tasting menu with each
course featuring one of our famous local farmers. You will have a chance to
sample Christophe's mushrooms, Barb's pork, Dan O'Brien's beef, Mariposa Farm
duck and Ferme Floralpe's artisan goat cheese. So after your skate on the
canal, stop by Arc Lounge to warm up and try our tasty creations!
Also, if you wish to romance your loved one with platefuls
of creative aphrodisiac dishes, make a reservation at Arc Lounge for February
12, 13 or 14. We will be running our Valentine's table d'hôte for the entire
weekend.
Meanwhile, if you are looking to try something a little
different, here is the recipe for Heidi, fig and apple bread pudding taken from
our taste of Winterlude menu. Enjoy! CLICK HERE
