My wife & I spent a weekend in Ottawa for theatre at the NAC right across the street from the hotel. Reservations thru the Elgin's website was painless and provided a lower rate than Expedia and hotels.com. Upon email confirmation of the reservation, I requested early check-in--this was granted very graciously. The day before our check-in, I emailed to request... more

I had to go to Ottawa on business and decided to stay at the Lord Elgin since I had stayed there one night due to being caught in a snow storm and liked the hotel. This time my stay was disappointing. I wanted to upgrade to the Executive room as my husband was coming up to spend a few days... more

We stayed at the Lord Elgin for one night in October primarily due to its location to downtown. The hotel is about a $35 taxi ride from the airport. The hotel looks very nice in the lobby and from outside. There is also a Starbucks located just off the main lobby, and you can have it delivered to your room... more

Just stayed at the Lord Elgin in Ottawa, it was the perfect location, 3 blocks to the Parliament Buildings, 5 minute walk to the mall, 20 minute walk to by way market (Empire Grill was fantastic, best steak), basically in the centre of the city; the facility had all the ammenities you require; meeting rooms were great, they had to... more

The car valet was very good. There is a starbucks in the lobby. The gym is pointless - the machines are from the... more

However, there is only valet parking service. I prefer to have the option of valet or parking it myself. When I needed to get something from my... more

I'm a lover of 30s architecture so it was great to see that this hotel had retained many period features and reflected this style in its modern furnishings. We had a large comfortable room with two Queen beds, overlooking Confederation Park. We were there at the start of a holiday weekend with an event taking place on the park opposite... more

I stayed at the Lord Elgin for 3 nights in May. My room was small but I had a perfect view of the parliment buildings. Lord Elgin is conviently located close to lots of tourist spots. Staff was excellent and I really enjoyed my short stay in Ottawa. more

I stayed at the Lord Elgin recently for a work conference - Fantastic is all I can say about this hotel! From the banquet space to the guestrooms they definitely pay attention to the little details. I would highly recommend this hotel for leisure or business travel. In addition to its prime location, this hotel provided us with everything we... more
