100 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5K8
4-star
Built in the 1940s as part of Ottawa's grand post-war vision for its capital, the Lord Elgin is a firmly independent, Canadian-owned hotel just steps from Parliament Hill. If you want a central, characterful base with a genuine sense of history rather than a chain-hotel feel, this is a well-located choice for exploring downtown Ottawa on foot, with a contemporary lobby and public spaces to arrive at after a day of sightseeing or travel.

The hotel is just steps from Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal, with Confederation Park and the National Arts Centre both within easy walking distance. ByWard Market's shops, restaurants and nightlife are a short stroll further into downtown, and several of the city's national museums and galleries are within a short walk or a quick taxi ride. It's around a 20-minute drive from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, making the Lord Elgin a convenient base whether you're spending a few days in the capital or combining it with a wider tour of Eastern Canada.
We like the Lord Elgin for its genuine sense of place; it's one of the few Ottawa hotels that still feels distinctly Canadian rather than part of an international chain. Its position, just steps from Parliament Hill, makes it a good fit for a short city stay or as the Ottawa base for a wider Eastern Canada itinerary. The indoor pool and sauna are a nice bonus if you're travelling in the colder months and want to unwind after a day of sightseeing, and the hotel's independent character tends to appeal to travellers who'd rather avoid a big international chain.
