ANDAZ OTTAWA BYWARD MARKET, BY HYATT

10/10 Excellent

"The location is ideal—right in the vibrant ByWard Market and within easy walking distance to Parliament Hill, Rideau Centre, the National Gallery, and the Royal Canadian Mint. Our room was modern, spotless, and comfortable with great city views. Breakfast at feast + revel offered fantastic high-quality options. Don't miss Copper Spirits & Sights, the 16th-floor rooftop lounge—the sunset views over Parliament and the Gatineau Hills with a craft cocktail are unmatched! The welcoming, attentive staff made the stay truly complete. Would definitely stay here again!"
