I have had the privilege of staying at their Le Germain property in Quebec City and Alt Hotels in Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Montreal, and the Alt Hotel St.John’s—all have been wonderful stays and made me eager to check out their hotel in Ottawa.

Le Germain Ottawa Rooms
At Le Germain Ottawa, the rooms are meticulously crafted to provide the utmost comfort and relaxation. Even in their Classic Rooms, which are the entry-level option, you’ll find spacious accommodations spanning 345 ft²/32 m².
Upon entering, you’re greeted by the soothing sounds of a unique Tivoli radio playing the local CBC station—a thoughtful touch that sets the tone for your stay. The room’s hardwood floors add a touch of elegance, while an inviting lounger chair by the window beckons you to unwind and enjoy the city views with a cup of coffee in hand.
The focal point of the room is the inviting bed, adorned with luxurious bedding and framed by a striking black-and-white photo of the Rideau Canal. Hanging light fixtures on either side of the bed provide soft illumination for nighttime reading or relaxation.
A functional workstation area and a large flat-panel TV await on the opposite end of the room. While not the latest in technology, the TV allows for streaming, ensuring you can easily catch up on your favorite shows during your stay.
A well-stocked mini-fridge offers a tempting selection of drinks and snacks, while a Nespresso machine stands ready to brew your perfect cup of coffee. Bonus points for the inclusion of milk and cream in the fridge. It may seem minor, but I am always surprised when a hotel has decent coffee and serves it with powdered creamer.
The washroom area is equally impressive, featuring a double sink with ample counter space, a separate wash closet, and a spacious shower with fogged glass panels that allow natural light to filter in, creating a serene ambiance for your morning routine.
