I spent three nights at ARC on a business trip. From the moment I walked in I felt welcome and comfortable. The staff was always ready to help. One evening I stopped at the front desk to mention that the remote for my TV wasn't working. Then I headed to the bar for a drink, and the remote had been... More

We stayed here over the Victoria Day long weekend. The price is a great value for the location. The room was small, but very clean. The hotel had all the amenities you would need. The staff was fantastic- and very accommodating. We forgot to take off the Do Not Disturb sign on our door when we left for the day-... More

My wife and I stayed in Arc Hotel for 3 nights. We're there for a business trip. Upon arrival, the reception was pretty fast and they appeared very helpful and friendly. They welcomed us with a glass of Champaigne, however there was only one person taking care of valet parking and in concierge area. Therefore we had unload and carry... More

Arc The Hotel offers sleek minimal chic decor along with friendly service. Location is ideal for visiting tourist attractions like the Parliament Buildings, Museum of Civilization, War Museum and National Arts Centre, all walking distance. The Arc Lounge offers a better level of cuisine than most hotels with some delightful brunch offerings, in particular the eggs benny. I am a... More

Enjoyed a great night out in downtown Ottawa at ARC the.hotel. The hotel location is perfect for access to many downtown Ottawa landmarks (Parliament Hill, Rideau Center, Rideau Canal and Byward Market to name a few). Enjoyed a fantastic meal in the ARC lounge! The lamb is awesome! Room was clean and the bed is SO comfortable. Highly recommended! More

I was in town from NYC for a sophisticated seven-person bachelorette evening and stayed at The ARC. The evening started in the private social/library room of the hotel where we had a private server who brought us delicious cocktails and delectable appetizers (duck rolls, pulled venison burgers, sushi, and steak tartare on crisps). The social/library room is sexy, clean, quiet... More

I stayed at the Arc for my bachelorette weekend in Ottawa and I can honestly say that my stay at the Arc was the best part of the weekend!! We had access to the "library" and the spread that the Arc put on was amazing - from venison sliders to duck confit spring rolls the food was off the charts... More

Was at the Arc Hotel on Saturday night for a Bachelorette party...we had snacks and drinks in the "Library", a great room off the lobby. The food was amazing...pulled elk sliders, salmon mouse tacos, and the most amazing beef on a little crust... Staff were very nice and helpful. Rooms were also great. Will definitely be back! More

Just back from 3 days at the ARC. Arrival is annoying having to cross a bus lane to one of two curb-side spots - no door personnel to help with bags or organize parking. In fact over three days I was never once met by door or valet staff at the door. Front desk staff were distracted and not attentive.... More

This was my second and last stay at the ARC. The first morning there was no hot water in the shower. The first staff member I spoke to told me that, with so many people showering at the same time (about 8 a.m.), this was to be expected. The second person offered to look into it. Clearly nothing was done... More
