The Arlo, BW Signature Collection
City centre convenience with balconies, kitchens, and a fitness centre





About this stay
The Arlo, BW Signature Collection works more like a serviced apartment than a classic hotel, which is its main appeal in central Ottawa. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with a kitchen and a balcony, so longer stays and family meals stay simple, and the minimarket and laundry service on site cover the rest. Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal locks are within walking distance for a day of sightseeing on foot. A continental breakfast is served every morning, and free WiFi, a fitness centre, a lounge and a 24-hour front desk round out the essentials. An 8.4 average across 1,328 guest reviews points to a reliable stay rather than a showpiece, which fits travellers who mostly need a well-equipped base.

Our take
Kitchens and balconies in downtown rooms are rare in Ottawa, and The Arlo pairs them with a continental breakfast, a minimarket and laundry service, earning an 8.4 rating from more than 1,300 reviews. It suits families and longer stays that want independence in the centre. There is no pool or spa, so travellers looking for wellness facilities should consider another downtown hotel.
- ✓Take advantage of the kitchen facilities to prepare some meals and save on dining out.
- ✓Explore the nearby Rideau Locks and Parliament Hill, both within easy walking distance.
- ✓Consider a room with a balcony for a pleasant spot to relax after a day of exploring the city.

Why guests love itFor families who want downtown Ottawa without eating out every meal, The Arlo is a smart fit. Rooms come with kitchens and balconies, so breakfasts and simple dinners are easy, and a daily continental breakfast covers busy mornings. The on-site minimarket and laundry service help on longer trips. From the city-centre location, Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and the national museums are close by. There is no pool, so plan evening activities elsewhere with energetic children.
