#5 of 7 hotels in ByWard Market by Axel's take. ByWard Market is #2 of 6 places to stay in Ottawa. The best hotels in ByWard Market, ranked · Where to stay in Ottawa

Axel's take: 8.1/10

Excellent downtown convenience, but ongoing renovations make room choice important. A full-service 4-star convention hotel beside the Rideau Canal, scored for what it is.

The Westin Ottawa is a full-service 4-star convention hotel whose strongest asset is convenience: canal-side sightseeing, Rideau Centre shopping and the connected Rogers Centre Ottawa. We'd pick it for a practical downtown stay rather than boutique character. Tripadvisor guests praise the beds and location, while recent Expedia reviews repeatedly highlight spacious, clean rooms and helpful staff. The indoor saltwater pool and gym round out a strong offering.

The catch is renovation work throughout the lobby and selected guestrooms, with daytime construction noise possible and reception temporarily on Level 3. Expedia lists completion for December 1, 2026, subject to change. Refreshed rooms are receiving praise, but older rooms still attract complaints about dated finishes. Ask whether your assigned room has been renovated; we'd skip it for now if daytime quiet or a polished arrival matters most.

  • Best for: Convention attendees; First-time Ottawa sightseers; Families wanting a central pool hotel

  • Watch out for: Lobby and guestroom renovations; Uneven condition between older and refreshed rooms; Paid parking and breakfast

  • Location: Beside the canal, connected to Rideau Centre and Rogers Centre Ottawa, with central sights nearby.

  • Rooms: Comfortable beds and generous space earn praise; older rooms can feel dated, so request a renovated room.

  • Cleanliness: Generally strong recent feedback and a 9.0 Expedia cleanliness rating, despite some less positive individual reports.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are a recurring strength; Expedia rates staff and service 9.2.

  • Amenities: Indoor saltwater pool, whirlpool, gym, squash courts and dining; Marriott says amenities remain available during renovations.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking and breakfast cost extra; complimentary in-room Wi-Fi requires qualifying direct booking as a Bonvoy member. Renovations remain underway.
