Planning a stay in the national capital? Here you will find all our verified reviews of hotels and Ottawa Airport (YOW), as well as our activity guides for the region.
Ottawa, Canada’s federal capital, stands out for Parliament Hill, its national museums, and the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It attracts visitors for winter skating on the canal, tulips in the spring, and its proximity to Gatineau, on the other side of the Ottawa River.
Downtown Ottawa has the majority of hotels accessible with points, within walking distance of Parliament Hill and the ByWard Market.
YOW remains more modest than the major Canadian airports, with two main lounges. Access generally depends on your credit card or your loyalty status.
Ottawa is best visited in combination with Gatineau, just across the Ottawa River. Our guides cover the best outings by season.
A good travel card speeds up point accumulation and often provides access to airport lounges. Here are three of the most popular options, or see our best travel credit cards page to compare all options.
