Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Ottawa

Pets are treated like VIP guests at The Westin Ottawa, starting with a welcome kit that has a list of local pet friendly establishments and services, trash bags, latex gloves and an ASPCA card with tips on traveling with pets. In the room, pets enjoy their own Heavenly pet beds, food and water bowls and a floormat. The hotel's location on the Rideau Canal offers easy access to a walking path and variety of parks for exercising pets outdoors.

Nestled along Slater Street in downtown Ottawa, ARC The.Hotel exudes a modern feel with its contemporary lobby and neutral color palette. Although some guests describe the property's 112 rooms as a slightly more compact than they had expected, they appreciate the Keurig coffee makers, Egyptian linens, minifridges and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Another plus is this boutique hotel's proximity to Ottawa's top sites; ByWard Market is less than a mile north of the property. Guests who want to dine on-site can order room service or visit the ARC Lounge for locally sourced meat and seafood dishes like brown butter scallops or Québec boar. Aside from the on-site dining, guests also appreciate the 24-hour fitness room. What's more, ARC The.Hotel boasts ample event spaces, making an ideal option if you're looking to host a business meeting or reception during your stay.

Towering 29 stories above Kent Street in downtown Ottawa, this Marriott property affords its guests sweeping views of the city. Recent lodgers suggest booking a room on a higher floor facing the Ottawa River, which not only grants stunning views, but also less disruptive outside noise. Although not all boast city panoramas, the hotel's 489 guest rooms and suites come with minifridges, complimentary Wi-Fi access and 37-inch LCD TVs. When you're ready to satiate your appetite, grab a table at "Spin" Kitchen & Bar for creative takes on classic breakfast, lunch, dinner and bar snacks, though some diners say they would have liked to pay a little less for an on-site meal. Or, if you're craving a jolt of caffeine, stop by the on-site Starbucks. Families staying here appreciate the hotel's games room, which is stocked with video and tabletop games for younger guests to enjoy. But what travelers like most of all is the Ottawa Marriott Hotel's proximity to the city's top attractions. Plus, Marriott Bonvoy members can enjoy (and earn) free perks by choosing to bed down here.
