About the Hotel

11 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Canada, K1N 9H4

The Westin Ottawa, a 4-star hotel, occupies a modern high-rise in the Ottawa business district across from the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This wellness-focused property features an impressive lobby with wood columns and stainless steel-framed walls soaring up to four stories, indoor saltwater pool, modern fitness center, private squash courts, and direct connection to the Shaw Convention Centre and Rideau Centre shopping mall.

Panoramic View Rooms

The most striking feature of Westin rooms is the matching amber wood on headboards and dressers that casts a warm glow when illuminated by natural light from large windows. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views of the Ottawa cityscape and Parliament Hill, while Mobile Key capability via the Marriott Bonvoy(TM) app enables contactless service.

Diverse Dining Options

The Shore Club, a nautical-themed steakhouse and cocktail bar just off the lobby, serves fresh seafood, prime cuts of beef, and creative cocktails for lunch and dinner. Daly's Restaurant offers breakfast and weekend brunch with a buffet of healthy options and à la carte specialties like eggs Benedict with smoked salmon.

Comprehensive Wellness Facilities

The Westin Ottawa Health Club offers both in-room and in-spa massage treatments for guests seeking relaxation. The WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio remains open 24/7, complemented by an indoor heated saltwater pool operating daily from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM, with squash courts available for active visitors.

Central Ottawa Location

The Westin Ottawa is conveniently located in the heart of Canada's picturesque capital, just 5 minutes' walk from Rideau and 20 km from Macdonald Cartier International Airport. The hotel provides direct access to many national attractions, including the ByWard Market and Royal Canadian Mint within 1 km, while offering dog-friendly accommodations with walking paths along the Rideau Canal.

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be quite average for the price we paid. The rooms were clean and had a comfortable bed, but being close to the elevator bank meant we could hear people talking loudly in that area. The availability of rollaway beds was convenient, though the bathroom lacked a shower.

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities I needed to work on my presentations, but it was a bit too warm even though I set the AC low. The service was amazing, with very efficient staff who were friendly and informative. The location was prime to all amenities and very convenient for both business and leisure trips. The dining experience was very good, filled with a variety of delicious dishes, but it was a little expensive. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and clean, and the onsite restaurant and bar were superb. However, the absence of door closures for fire code was a concern. The room was spacious with a very good view of the city, including the Rideau Canal and Parliament Hill.
