Holiday Inn Ottawa East

Holiday Inn Ottawa East gives couples an easy, all-in-one place to celebrate, from an intimate gathering to a full reception, just minutes from downtown Ottawa.

The renovated hotel sits off St. Laurent Boulevard at the Queensway, about ten minutes from the city centre and twenty from the airport, with the LRT nearby.

The largest room, the Mackenzie, offers 2,800 square feet and welcomes up to 228 guests for a reception. Smaller rooms such as Clancy's, Franklin, Hudson and Frobisher suit showers, rehearsal dinners and smaller weddings, and several rooms bring in plenty of natural light.

Catering is available for every event, and the hotel's team helps with planning and setup.

Guests can stay on site in rooms and one-bedroom suites, with a pool, fitness centre and an on-site restaurant and bar. In autumn, the hotel points guests toward the fall colours of Gatineau Park and Pink Lake, a short drive away.

For couples who picture a relaxed celebration with everyone under one roof, Holiday Inn Ottawa East offers a practical wedding close to the heart of the capital.
