Lord Elgin Hotel

Sobre este lugar Lord Elgin Hotel

The Lord Elgin Hotel is one of Ottawa's most recognisable buildings — a 1941 limestone structure on Elgin Street that sits at the centre of the city's downtown geography, one block from Confederation Park and two blocks from Parliament Hill. The hotel has been welcoming guests to Canada's capital for over 80 years and has developed a reputation as one of Ottawa's most reliably LGBTQ+-welcoming properties. The Elgin Street location is strategically ideal for LGBTQ+ visitors: Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal are within five minutes on foot, the Byward Market is a 15-minute walk, and the Bank Street gay village is reachable in under 10 minutes. During Capital Pride week in August, the Lord Elgin's position between the parade route and the village makes it among the most convenient hotels in the city. The 355 rooms range from standard to suite; the Grill on Elgin restaurant serves as the hotel's main dining room. The building's limestone exterior and period interior details give it an architectural character that distinguishes it from the chain hotels clustered nearby — staying at the Lord Elgin means staying in a building with genuine Ottawa history and a location that cannot be improved upon for the visiting LGBTQ+ traveller.
