I stayed in the Arc when it first openend and it was the firt boutique hotel in Ottawa. I knew that the rooms were small but when you can stand in the middle of the room and touch either side of the room that is a bit much. The Armoire with the tv would not open fully as the door... more

This is a nice hotel in the lovely city of Ottawa. The guest room was nicely appointed and overall I had a nice stay. For some reason I was not overwhelmed by the hotel. The service was good not great. The business center was closed so the Front Desk did allow me to use their computer. A little inconvenient but... more

The hotel is very modern and clean. We visited Ottawa for Winterlude and it was a short walk to the Rideau Canal Skateway. The hotel is close to Elgin Street and about a 15 minute walk to the Byward Market. Although the rooms were comfortable, they are VERY SMALL. I got a good deal on the room so it was... more

Stayed here for two nights in January 2008 and really enjoyed this small but chic hotel. Upon arrival I was offered champagne at check-in and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable - small but fine for a short stay. Location-wise, I chose the hotel because it was within walking distance to my... more

Stayed here one night on our way through Ottawa. Upon arrival, we were offered a glass of sparkling wine and chocolates by a very polite front desk clerk. When we got to our room, we were pleased to find it to be very welcoming, although it was very, very, very small (barely enough space to set out our suitcases). The... more

A friend and I went to ARC - The Hotel, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada for the weekend, in celebration of my 25th birthday. We were lucky enough to find a special-rate package that included admission to the National Gallery and The Musem of Civilization AND two-nights at ARC. Otherwise, it may have been a little pricey for us. The hotel itself... more

My husband and I loved the decor of this hotel. Very modern and chic, and the rooms were soothing. I think it is way overpriced for the size of the rooms. It is the tiniest room I've EVER stayed in. But the bed? The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and I need to find out... more

While this hotel is by no means below average and I only stayed for one night, while the common areas are about average for this kind of hotels the rooms furniture and decor fell below par for a "Ottawa's only boutique hote" line! I've stayed in numerous smaller luxury hotels and this one unfortunately scored low in the room department.... more

I read and had really good reviews on the hotel but the only thing I like about this hotel is the girl at the front desk ( extremly helpful and nice) and the bed. The first room we had was really dark and small, so we asked to have another room. The rooms are really small and I don't like... more
