NileGuide Expert tip:
The hotel is located on a beautiful five-acre wooded site overlooking the Rideau River, which is a tributary of the Ottawa River. Rideau is the French word for curtain and the river was named for the Rideau Falls, which resemble a curtain of water.
Description:
A bit of a local secret, this place has evolved since 1979 from a modest motel to a small resort and conference centre. The south end location is close to the airport and to a number of small high-tech firms. For a balcony overlooking the Rideau River, ask for a Riverview Suite or a room in the Executive Riverview Building; other rooms overlook the gardens. Guest perks include a heated outdoor pool, a fitness centre, and free parking, high-speed Internet, newspapers and continental breakfast. The onsite restaurant, La Bodega Lounge, has an extensive wine list that won an award of excellence from
Wine Spectator in 2008 and features more than 100 vintages. The 60-foot Sunday Brunch buffet is popular with both visitors and locals.
