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? 🇨🇦

Montreal is one of the most visited cities in Cana Montreal is one of the most visited cities in Canada - and it’s not hard to see why 🇨🇦

If it’s your first time in the city, I’d recommend staying in the heart of the old town at the 5th best hotel in Canada (according to Condé Nast Traveler 2025) 😎

We spent one night at @hotelwilliamgray which is a unique luxury hotel that features classic rooms in a timeless style 🛌

Our room had a beautiful view of the Old Port of Montreal, and it was very quiet so we had a great sleep 💤

The hotel also features plenty of shared seating areas, a luxury spa, a fitness room and terrace, and a few dining options (including a rooftop bar/restaurant and a charming cafe) 🍹

Would you like to spend a night at this hotel in Montreal? ⚜️
