Rideau skate
If you’re interested in approximated this is a great location. We skated the Rideau canal and couldn’t have been happier. About a 6 minute walk.

Enjoyed our stay at Lord Elgin Hotel
Valet parking was very convenient. Check in was quick and easy. Both the room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was comfortable. The lighting in our room was excellent. I love a room with multiple bright lighting options.
Check out was also quick and easy. Looking forward to our next visit to Ottawa and the Lord Elgin Hotel.

Beautiful hotel, excellent location. We came here to celebrate my birthday and skate on the Rideau canal. The canal is only a 2 minute walk. Great restaurants nearby. We had a great stay.
