I recently stayed at the Lord Elgin for a weekend while visiting family, as it was recommended by a close friend. I checked in on Friday to a wonderful welcome by a wonderful Bellman named John. He welcomed me as he would if you were arriving at his home. He removed my luggage, and led me to the desk and... more

Great hotel, good price, waling distance of many sites in Ottawa, including most attractions during Winterlude more

Great location to explore the city on foot - the market, Houses of Parliament, War Museum, Art Galley, etc. Clean and spacious rooms, pleasant staff and good value breakfast. Would stay at the LE again. more

I have stayed many times in that hotel along the years. I must admit, after my first visit, always with reluctance. Most of the rooms are somber.
