 Lord Elgin's main entrance by janika
The eleven storey building, with its Normandy copper roof, located opposite the National Arts Centre, home of the performing arts in Ottawa is a clean cut modern adaptation of the French Chateau style. This place is so big it did not fit on my photo. Please enlarge image to view details. I can also send you the high resolution, full size, original photo. Just request it in email. Lord Elgin offers a nice blend of historic charm and state of the art, modern day conveniences and services. You can't miss this place. Ask anyone on the street, They'll tell you where the Lord Elgin is. One of the oldest hotels in Ottawa with the most beautiful view of the Canal and Confederation Park.
Top to bottom heritage construction, in the last phase of yet another impressive expansion and renovation program in room movies, lobby bar with fireplace, meeting facilities with on-site meeting services manager, business services available, smoking floors available. State of the art and expanded fitness room, Indoor lap pool, Whirlpool and saunas now open for the guests and visitors.
Brand new restaurant front view outdoor patio. I don't recommend the patio on week days due to heavy traffic on Elgin St and there is a lot of smoke and noise around. Room service, Safety deposit boxes, Gift shop for souvenirs, On site cash machine, Airport and casino shuttle convenient, Valet underground parking and Valet dry cleaning services.

Ok I haven't stayed at too many high end hotels but I would say I'm more disappointed than satisfied. I personally wouldn't recommend it even though it's the #2 place to stay in Ottawa and I didn't have to pay for it out of my own pocket.
For a standard guest room, the decor or room isn't that great. For the price we're paying, you would think that internet and local calls would be free...they are at most hostels!
You will be paying $1 surcharge for local calls - it calls $0.25 to make a local call on a payphone.
You will be paying $10/day for an internet CONNECTION, you have to bring your own laptop and there's no wireless! It costs $20-40/MONTH for a residential internet connection...just as a comparison.
Rooms were kept pretty cold and there is a thermostat that doesn't seem to work.
Overpriced food and room service - e.g. $4 for bottled Dasani water which is basically re-filtered tap water.
I know most hotels do this, but still doesn't make it right.
$17/day + taxes + tip for valet parking...so more like $25/day.
Room service comes around 8am! So early, most are still asleep or getting ready for the day. What they do is shout, housekeeping, housekeeping from outside but unless you're paying attention, you have no idea they're talking to, so they open your room door!!!!
EXCELLENT location - 5 mins from Rideau Centre, Parliament. 10min walk to Byward Market. Right across from National Art Centre.
There's a pool and mediocre gym. Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensiveDirections: On Elgin Street - in between Slater and Laurier
