SoHo Lisgar Residences Ottawa
—For the feels-like-home touches
This swish building designed for long-term stays is walking distance from Parliament Hill and features a Dalton Brown gym, a lap pool and a private executive boardroom appointed with Nigel Dickson portraits of Canada’s prime ministers. If you only have one night, book the velvety-plush 30-seat cinema for movie screenings or presentations. BYOP (popcorn). Bring your bike for rides along the Rideau Canal; you can store your wheels in the hotel storage unit, a streamlined concrete beauty of numbered spaces.
