One of Ottawa most historic and beautiful hotels, ideally located in the heart of downtown Ottawa - directly across from Confederation Park and the National Arts Centre. The Lord Elgin Hotel is steps away from the Rideau Canal, Shaw Centre, Parliament Buildings and the Ottawa Rideau Centre. Lord Elgin's Guestrooms reflect Ottawa's elegance. All 355 of the hotel's guestrooms have been newly renovated. From the tall picture windows, bold tulip inspired artwork, and luxury furnishings, you cannot help but feel pampered. Ottawa hotel guests enjoy the lap pool with adjoining whirlpool, sauna and varied fitness equipment. A Starbucks is also conveniently located within the hotel, for all our coffee lovers needs. Guests of the Lord Elgin Hotel enjoy skating on the Rideau Canal during the winter and jogging or cycling alongside the canal in the other seasons. As the Capital of Canada, visitors enjoy the Parliament Buildings, National Arts Centre, Museum of History, War Museum, Museum of Nature, National Art Gallery, among others.
