Well located hotels for the Winterlude in Ottawa

Winterlude Hotels Ottawa

Well located hotels for Winterlude in Ottawa contribute a lot to an unforgettable experience. We visited the Winterlude Festival in Ottawa. There we experienced a winter as it should be. Cold, with lots of snow and ice and people who don't let that stop them from enjoying winter outdoors. From these Ottawa Winterlude hotels you can reach the event locations in a short distance.

The Winterlude festival offers a great opportunity to experience Canadians' favorite winter amusements. Outdoor life - no matter how cold it is outside. Children, parents and grandparents wrap themselves up warm. They pull on their winter boots and wander around town to watch the ice carvers make their ice sculptures. They strap on their skates and slide into town on the frozen Rideau Canal. Incidentally, this is the most convenient way to get to the city center in winter. Or they drive to the Quebec side of the Ottawa River and enjoy the winter wonderland in the Snowflake Kingdom. There, old and young alike slide down various ice and snow slides on the bottom of their pants and squeak with pleasure .

Well located hotels for the Winterlude in Ottawa

These three hotels are close to the main Winterlude Festival venue. From these you can reach the Rideau Canal, Sparks Street and Byward Market in a few steps. We really appreciated that during our winter visit to Ottawa.

 

 

Hotel Fairmont Château Laurier

We stayed at the Fairmont Château Laurier. This traditional luxury hotel is located directly on the Rideau Canal. Its restaurant looks down on the lockage that connects the canal to the Ottawa River. Sparks Street, where the ice carvers demonstrate their skills, is about a ten-minute walk from this hotel. There is a good view of the skaters on the Rideau Canal from the bridge in front of the hotel. All you have to do is cross the street. We felt at home in the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. Just click on the link if you want to know more about our stays there.

Lord Elgin Hotel

The second of the Ottawa Winterlude hotels that we recommend is also centrally located: on one side is Sparks Street and on the other it is not far to the Rideau Canal. To reach the Rideau Canal, you will cross the Crystal Gardens. For a nice view of the Rideau Canal, the Houses of Parliament and the Château Laurier, it's worth the short walk to the Mackenzie King Bridge, which is a great place to watch events on the canal. We saw the Kilt Skate from there.

The Westin Ottawa

The third of our Ottawa Winterlude hotels, which we recommend for a stay during Winterlude in Ottawa, is also very conveniently located: the Westin Hotel on Colonel By Drive. It is adjacent to the CF Rideau Centre, a large shopping center on the Rideau Canal. You can reach this directly from the hotel. The Rideau Canal and the Mackenzie King Bridge are just steps from the hotel. Sparks Street can be reached in a few minutes. The Westin Hotel is also convenient because there is a food mall in the CF Rideau Center where you can eat inexpensively. This food mall is a good place to warm up during a city stroll at Ottawa's Winterlude.
