How to get there

1 · From the airport (YOW) by car or taxi

The quickest way. Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport is north-west of the hotel; our road route measures about 9.4 km and twelve minutes without traffic. The hotel does not publish taxi or rideshare fares, and we do not guess them. If you rent a car at the airport, valet and EV charging are covered on the parking page.

2 · From the airport by O-Train and hotel shuttle

O-Train Line 4 runs from Airport station to South Keys, stopping at Uplands; at South Keys you change to Line 2, which runs south through Leitrim. Line 4 opened and Line 2 reopened on 6 January 2025; OC Transpo gives the Airport–South Keys trip as about seven minutes, every twelve minutes. From Leitrim, the hotel shuttle leaves at half past the hour from 7:30 AM to 12:30 AM, skipping 11:30 AM, 5:30 PM and 10:30 PM. Between 1:30 and 3:30 AM the shuttle runs from Uplands Station instead. The fare is $5 one way, $3.50 with Unity, card or tap only.

Google's transit planner does not know about the hotel shuttle, so the link below may suggest a city bus or a walk for the last stretch. Use it for the train part and take the shuttle from Leitrim.

4 · From downtown Ottawa by O-Train

Line 1, the Confederation Line, runs east–west through downtown between Tunney's Pasture and Blair. Line 2 begins at Bayview, where it meets Line 1, and runs south through South Keys to Leitrim. From Leitrim take the hotel shuttle. Check the gaps above before a show: there is no 5:30 PM departure from Leitrim, which is the one most likely to catch you on the way in for dinner.
