preferred hotels Ottawa
Ottawa offers visitors a cultural experience like no other. Immerse yourself in the heritage of Canada’s capital city – the historic sights of Ottawa are just a short walk from ARC THE HOTEL, one of the city’s preferred hotels for exploring the city’s civic heritage.
Minutes from our hotel you’ll find Parliament Hill, the seat of Canadian government. A masterpiece of Victorian High Gothic Architecture, the hub of Canada’s democracy is open daily for public tours. Tour the spectacular buildings, take in the view from the Centre Block Peace Tower, and enjoy public programs and colorful exhibition, like the Changing of the Guard. Don’t miss an educational tour of the nearby Supreme Court, a beautiful Art Deco building that houses Canada’s highest court. The nearby Government Conference Centre, once Ottawa’s Grand Trunk Railway station, also offers guided tours of the historic site.
Also downtown is the Laurier House, a national historic site that served as the home of two of Canada’s Prime Ministers, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and William Lyon Mackenzie King. Tours give visitors a closer look at the lives of these two remarkable men and their contribution to Canadian history. Just outside downtown, make a visit to Rideau Hall, the residence and workplace of every Governor General since 1867. Visit the state rooms and stroll the stately grounds, learn about the role of the Governor General and watch the Relief of the Sentries ceremony.
There’s no better place to celebrate Canada Day, Canada’s national holiday, then right in the heart of Ottawa. ARC THE HOTEL is one of the best positioned hotels to access all the festivities in and around downtown Ottawa. You’ll find music, parades, fireworks, ceremonies, street performers and more in the parks and historic places of the Capital city. Hundreds of thousands of revelers will enjoy events and activities around Parliament Hill, Major's Hill Park, Jacques-Cartier Park, and Confederation Park.
Let ARC THE HOTEL, the Capital city’s only member of the Preferred Hotels and Resorts Network and the Preferred Boutique hotels network, be your host while you enjoy the heritage sites of Ottawa.
