Canada is all set to embrace its first Andaz brand hotel in the country, Andaz Ottawa! This modern and chic property will call the coveted historic Byward Market district its home.

ANDAZ OTTAWA HIGHLIGHTS

  • 200 rooms, 7 suits, and 1 presidential suite
  • 6 Andaz Studios which make up non traditional meeting space
  • A Rooftop Bar and Lounge
  • 1 Restaurant
  • Hotel Designed by Toronto based company, Mason Studio
Last week I had a chance to tour the property, the hard-hat-and-boots tour highlighted that it was very much a construction zone. The property is open to public and accepting reservations as of August 23rd.

A pictorial sneak peek is available on my blog - http://travelupdate.boardingarea.com...-andaz-ottawa/

I'm no construction expert, but those photos don't suggest to me a luxury hotel ready for opening in two weeks. More like the Olympic village in Rio where the opening date is immovable and they fix things as they go along...

That said, as a Category 3 I'm looking forward to visiting sooner rather than later...

Haha, true. They did seem far from ready, especially considering reservations are available as of 23rd Aug! The minimalist Andaz design/theme may help catch up. I will try and post some before and after pics in the next couple of weeks. Maybe my pictures don't do justice to the potential in that property .
From what I saw in terms of expected final product, a cat 3 would be a steal!!

Doesn't look that bad to me.... everything in the rooms seemed to be there, just some cleaning to be done. And 2 weeks should be sufficient to get the public areas completed from what I see.

I would however expect issues when staying since they seem lacking in time for testing.

Is there enough going on in Ottawa to warrant a quick weekend visit from the DC area? Andaz does not normally target government types so I'm assuming there is something more happening there.

As usual check for great deals on better-than-standard rooms at standard prices.

I also booked last night. I received an email this morning that the rate was an error caused by their pre-opening bugs and they want to sub another room type. Can they do this?
