Andaz Hotel Rating: 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You read it right — Andaz Hotel is a full five stars for one of Ottawa’s most stylish stays by Hyatt. Writing about this local favourite is easy — it’s one of those places that simply gets hospitality right.
Located at 325 Dalhousie Street in the heart of the ByWard Market, Andaz blends modern design with a strong sense of Canadian identity. With 193 rooms and 7 suites, every detail feels intentional — from the art on the walls to the furniture in each room, all of which is proudly created by Canadian artists and makers.
Where to Eat and Drink
The Andaz isn’t just about the rooms — it’s a small culinary hub.
- Feast + Revel (Main Floor): Elevated Canadian dishes ($$$$).
- Copper Spirits & Sights (Rooftop): Small plates + unbeatable views of the ByWard Market ($$$).
- Coffee Bar (Lobby): Perfect for an early start or mid-afternoon recharge.
Pro Tip: Time your visit to Copper Spirits & Sights for golden hour — it’s the best rooftop view in downtown Ottawa.
