Family Friendly Hotels in Ottawa, ON

Canada's capital is a city of grand institutions and quiet, leafy neighborhoods. The main draw is its role as the nation's political heart, centered around Parliament Hill where you can watch the Changing of the Guard in summer. Yet Ottawa is also a city of canals and culture, best experienced with a skate along the Rideau Canal in winter or a stroll through the ByWard Market for a BeaverTail pastry. The National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Museum of History, just across the river in Gatineau, offer world-class collections.

For easy access to major sights, look for hotels in Centretown, Sandy Hill, or near the ByWard Market. The city is excellent for families and history buffs, with its many free museums, and also caters well to business travelers with its downtown core. Getting around is straightforward thanks to the efficient OC Transpo bus and light-rail system, and the compact downtown is very walkable.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 71 different places to stay in the Ottawa area. The selection is dominated by reliable mid-range chain hotels and a good number of comfortable, serviceable budget options, perfect for visitors who plan to spend their days exploring rather than in their rooms.
