CARTIER PLACE SUITE HOTEL, Ottawa

The hotel sits between the Rideau Canal and Elgin Street's restaurant and bar strip, putting Parliament Hill, the National Gallery, Canadian Museum of Nature, National Arts Centre, and Rideau Shopping Centre within a comfortable walk. The ByWard Market and Sparks Street Mall are also walking distance. The Rideau Canal Skateway and Sens Rink of Dreams are one block away in winter. University of Ottawa is a 15-minute walk. The immediate area is quieter than the Byward Market, with grocery (Farm Boy) and a Dollarama nearby. Parking is paid on site; no hotel airport shuttle is available, but the central location makes car-free exploration easy.

All suites include a fully equipped kitchen (stove, fridge, dishwasher, cookware, dishes, and utensils), a combined living/dining area with a double sofa bed, a private balcony, and a private bathroom with bathtub. Bed configurations range from double, queen, and king beds to two twin beds (Two-Bedroom Suite) or two extra-long double beds (Deluxe Double). Selected suites such as the VIP and Executive King offer air jet tubs or hydromassage showers. The Penthouse and Penthouse 2 suites add rooftop terraces, city views, fireplaces, and en-suite laundry. The tower wing rooms are older and more dated; requesting a main-building room generally provides a fresher interior. Decor and furniture are functional but can feel tired - the focus is on space and practicality rather than modern design. Interconnecting rooms are available upon request.

The indoor pool (33 x 6.1 m) is open daily from 9:00 to 22:00 and is popular with families. The fitness centre provides cardio machines, weights, and dumbbells. The cedar wood sauna and hot tub are available for relaxation. Outside there is a garden patio, playground, and shuffleboard court. The children's playroom is indoors and free to use. Please note that the pool area and certain amenities (gym, kids playroom, hot tub) have been subject to periodic closures for renovations, and the pool has sometimes been reported as cold. Confirm current operating status with the hotel before booking if these facilities are essential to your stay.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Public on-site parking costs CAD 40 per day (unlimited in/out) and does not require a reservation; the underground garage has a 1.8 m height limit and includes EV charging stations. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/out and luggage storage. Laundry facilities (coin-operated) are available on each floor in the main building. Daily housekeeping is included; additional dry cleaning and laundry services are available at an extra charge. Cots, high chairs, and playpens are provided free of charge.
