The Westin's Ottawa earns praise from recent guests who say its convenient downtown location makes it an ideal choice for those traveling on business and leisure.

The hotel's accommodations are spacious and modern, with 50-inch LCD TVs, Wi-Fi access (for a fee) and signature Westin Heavenly beds. While some past visitors describe the hotel furnishings as slightly dated, most say the excellent customer service makes up for this slight drawback. Travelers also note that the indoor pool serves as a nice place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. At mealtime, foodies can nosh on the breakfast and brunch options (weekends only) at Daly's Restaurant or seafood, steak and cocktails at The Shore Club Restaurant. And since Westin hotels fall under the Marriott family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Brookstreet sits about 15 miles southwest of downtown Ottawa, but guests looking for a few days on the greens think this hotel's location is ideal (it's close to both The Marshes and Marchwood golf courses). And those traveling for work will appreciate Brookstreet's proximity to the businesses of Kanata, a southwestern suburb of Ottawa. Visitors are also impressed with this hotel's amenities. Each guest room and suite features a 37-inch flat-screen TV, complimentary Internet access and a Keurig coffee maker. Guests can choose additional in-room extras from an amenities menu with options like edible fruit arrangements or artisan cheeses (charges apply). For a full meal, visitors should book a table at the on-site Perspectives Restaurant. Recent patrons applaud the restaurant's upscale take on locally sourced meat and seafood dishes, as well as the attentive wait staff. For a change of scenery, diners can enjoy a meal while listening to live music at Options Jazz Lounge. Should you need of a little extra pampering, head to Au Naturel Spa, which offers customized facials and detoxifying wraps, among other treatments.

Welcoming visitors since June 1912, the Fairmont Château Laurier was built to resemble a French Renaissance castle, with a copper roof dotted with limestone and granite spires. Recent visitors admire this Fairmont's stunning architecture, as well as its location in downtown Ottawa (right next to Parliament Hill). However, some guests describe the rooms as somewhat small and bare, which doesn't harmonize with the overall elegance of the hotel. Each of the Fairmont's guest rooms and suites comes appointed in creamy neutral tones and includes a Nespresso coffee maker, refreshment area and Wi-Fi access (for a fee). For those who prefer to dine in, the Fairmont houses the upscale Wilfrid's Restaurant, and La Terrasse for a more casual, outdoor meal. For a late-night cocktail or afternoon tea, venture to Zoé's Lounge, which offers a refined atmosphere and excellent service that's well worth the splurge, according to recent visitors. And remember, members of the Le Club AccorHotels program can earn frequent flier miles for choosing to bed down here.

This Hilton outpost sits about 5 miles north of downtown Ottawa in Gatineau, Quebec. Guests appreciate the views of Lake Leamy, but suggest bringing a car if you're planning on exploring Ottawa's attractions (the hotel provides free self parking). There's also plenty to do on the hotel's grounds. This Hilton resides within the same complex as the sprawling Casino du Lac-Leamy, so guests can easily access the gaming tables and slots. When it's time to eat, diners suggest a meal at the delicious French restaurant Le Baccara (there are also multiple other eating and drinking establishments on the premises). Guests can work off the calories in the hotel's indoor or outdoor pools (both heated) or in the fitness center. When nighttime rolls around, visitors can rest their heads on Hilton's signature Serenity beds in one of guest rooms. Each accommodation comes with a minibar, high-speed Internet access, an HDTV and a bathroom outfitted with a deep-soaking tub. And because of this hotel's Hilton ties, Honors loyalty program members can sleep easier knowing they're redeeming rewards and racking up points for staying here.

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.
