The Best Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario

Background Illustration for Hotels

Ottawa is very much a government town, and hotel rates are at their highest in spring and fall when the government and conferences are at their busiest. Money-saving packages are available on weekends and during July and August. Be sure to make a reservation if you're coming during Winterlude in mid-February, the Tulip Festival in the first weeks of May, or around Canada Day, July 1.

Wakefield Mill Inn and Spa

$$$ | 60 Mill Rd., Wakefield, J0X 3G0, Canada

An 1838 converted grist mill houses Gatineau Park's only hotel, a 25-minute drive from Ottawa. Its serene forest setting alongside a waterfall attracts nature lovers, small business groups, and steam train passengers wanting to stay overnight in Wakefield. Inside the thick stone walls is a fine dining restaurant, a spa, and rustic but comfortable guest rooms containing Canadiana or Mission-style furnishings. Some rooms have gas fireplaces. This adults-only inn has no single room rates. Instead, you choose from a variety of packages; the minimum package is a room for two with full breakfast.

Pros

  • Wooded location
  • Peaceful setting
  • Gourmet meals

Cons

  • Far from downtown Ottawa
  • Limited activities
  • Bathrooms sometimes larger than guest rooms
