By the Ottawa Locks, the city's best-known hotel is a landmark in its own right. Built in 1912 to resemble a 16th-century French château, its 426 rooms and suites are predictably large and luxurious. Walking the opulent marble hallways, admiring the art and reclining on overstuffed chaises, guests and happy interlopers alike feel like the toast of the town.
Valet parking is $49 per night.
