From Montreal to Ottawa! 🚘 The Canadian capita From Montreal to Ottawa! 🚘 The Canadian capital is a great stopping point if you’re doing a road trip through Ontario and Quebec, as it sits right on the border of the two provinces 😃 To get the most out of your time in the city, I’d recommend staying around the ByWard Market area, at @andazottawa 💤 Our Canadian-designed hotel room was very spacious. It was equipped with a comfy king-size bed and it had a stunning view of Parliament Hill in the distance. At sunset the view was even more spectacular 🌅 If you don’t have a room with a view, you can head up to the top floor and enjoy one of the most popular rooftop bars in Ottawa 🍹 Would you like to stay at this contemporary modern hotel in Ottawa during your stay in the nation’s capital? 🇨🇦 • • • • • • • • • • #ottawa #ottawatourism #ottawalife #andazhotel #andazottawa #hotelstay #kristatheexplorer #exploreontario #ontario #visitcanada #canadatravel #canada #ontariotravel #travelblogger #traveltips #coupleswhotravel
