Four new hotels are set to open in Ottawa in the next three years that will elevate its event and conference appeal. The opening of AC by Marriott, Moxy, Renaissance and Hard Rock Hotel will offer state-of-the-art facilities and accommodations.
“Ottawa has, in recent years, solidified its position as a premier destination for conferences and events,” Lesley Pincombe, Ottawa Tourism’s vice president, business and major events. “The addition of these four hotels will not only ramp up our city’s accommodation offering but also provide state-of-the-art venues capable of hosting large numbers of delegates in style and comfort.”
The first, the AC Marriott Ottawa, is scheduled to open in fall 2024. The property will have meeting rooms, conference facilities and exceptional dining options. It will offer 159 guestrooms and five meeting rooms totaling 3,648 square feet with floor-to-ceiling windows as well as lounges and exterior space.
Following closely in spring 2025, Moxy Ottawa, renowned for its contemporary design, will launch bringing 224 guestroom and a vibrant and playful atmosphere to the city’s hospitality scene.
Both the AC Marriott and the Moxy Ottawa will be located in the Byward Market, within walking distance of the Rideau Centre, the University of Ottawa and the Shaw Centre.
The Hard Rock Hotel Ottawa is set to open later in 2025. It will have 150 guestrooms and 22 suites as well as a 1,800-seat theatre with standing room for 2,200 guests, a casino, restaurants, bars and lounges.
Finally, in 2027, Renaissance Ottawa will open in downtown Ottawa with 230 guestrooms and 6,000 square feet of meeting space.
“Each of these hotels will support the city’s growing conference and events business and their strategic locations mean easy access for both domestic and international gatherings,” said Pincombe.
