Perched on the south bank of the Ottawa River at its confluence with the Rideau River, and with the rolling Gatineau Hills as an impressive backdrop, Queen Victoria made Ottawa the Capital of Canada in 1857.
Today, Ottawa is one of the most beautiful G8 capitals in the world; rich in culture and heritage with its many national institutions, parklands, waterways and historic architecture. Central among the city's attractions is the Rideau Canal. The canal was opened in 1832 as protection against American aggression and is still in use today.
Included in your Ottawa city tour is a leisurely cruise along the canal through the heart of the capital and a hop-on/hop-off bus tour that includes stops such as impressive Parliament Hill, the Byward Market and many museums, including the popular Canadian Museum of History
Canada's equivalent of Buckingham Palace is located in the city, Rideau Hall. Dating back to 1867, this 175-roomed mansion is set on 88 acres and is open to the public for tours.
Being a capital city also means that it has its fair share of festivals taking place throughout the year. One of the most popular is Bluesfest which takes place in the summer and draws visitors from all over the globe. In winter, check out the Winterlude Festival for amazing ice sculptures, the Snowflake Kingdom and skating on the Rideau Canal.
Your luxury stay here for two nights is the Fairmont Chateau Laurier, a magnificent landmark property set next door to the Parliament Buildings on the banks of The Rideau Canal.
