Short Reviews On Resorts & Hotels In Ottawa, Canada
The capital of Canada, Ottawa, is located in the Ottawa River valley in the Ontario province, near the border with the Quebec province. Together with its neighbor city of Gatineau and their surroundings, Ottawa forms the "National Capital Region". Within the city's limits are the mouths of the Rideau River and Rideau Canal, which in combination with Ottawa's historical buildings with distinctive architecture create some breathtaking views of the city's landscape, reason why hotels in the region are generally crowded. Some of the emblematic sights of Ottawa are the reconstructed "Centre Block of the Parliament Hill", where tourists may visit the "Peace Tower" - a stunning Gothic style structure, "The National War Memorial", as well as the vast parkway system, known as the "National Capital Greenbelt".
As many of the world's leading countries' capitals, Ottawa has a variety of famous hotel chains presented on its territory. Some of the most luxurious hotels in Ottawa are the Hilton Lac-Leamy - Gatineau, a five-star residence offering exceptional views over the Leamy Lake on each side of the hotel, extraordinary amenities and service and convenient location, just 10 minutes away from the Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa. The resort complex disposes of every standard amenity as well as many sport facilities, swimming pools and a SPA center. A fair rival both in comfort and appearance is the Fairmont Chateau Laurier Hotel, which resembles a fairytale castle, highly contributing to the general splendor of the city. The superb mixture of antique decorations and modern amenities make this hotel ideal both for business and leisure activities.
The downtown district of Ottawa offers a great deal of reasonably priced accommodations. A charming place with such modest prices is the Downtown Bed & Breakfast Ottawa, which is a couple of minutes away from the "Museum of Nature", and therefore in immediate vicinity to the Parliament Hill as well. It includes a garden, spa and massage therapies; pets are allowed and standard amenities like wireless Internet connection, laundry service and free parking are also available. For tourists that would like to feel as much at home as possible when traveling, there is the Les Suites Hotel Ottawa, offering one and two bedroom suits with fully equipped kitchens, washing and drying machines, a 24 hour fitness center as well as meeting facilities and high speed Internet connection.
Ottawa has a fairly moderate climate compared to most of Canada's regions. Nevertheless, there is a wide temperature range during the year, which allows different activities to be organized throughout the year. For instance, during winter the otherwise navigable western channel of the Rideau Canal is transformed into an ice skating highway. The Ottawa surroundings are more than suitable for hikes and bike trips during summer and the city itself is very cycling-friendly with large bicycle lanes along almost each city street. A curious fact is that there is a restriction in building height, limiting the skyscrapers to about 25-30 story height, the metropolis has also been voted the world's 3rd cleanest city and it is a perfect place for getting some fresh air while admiring a magnificent panorama. So, is not surprising that in the peak season finding a free room in the best-rated hotels in Ottawa is a difficult task.
