# Ottawa hotels with family suites Written 2026-10-04 by Play Day. Seven Ottawa hotels with real family facts: a full-kitchen suite hotel, indoor pools, suites with a separate sitting area, and a resort with saltwater pools. Les Suites Hotel Ottawa is the one for a family that needs two rooms in one, with one, two and three-bedroom suites and full kitchens. Lord Elgin Hotel and Fairmont Chateau Laurier pair a pool with suites downtown. Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata is the resort pick, with saltwater pools and a games room. Ottawa's hotels are mostly big, business-minded downtown towers, and the family part is whichever room you end up in. A suite with a separate living area or a second bedroom is what makes a few nights with kids easy, so the list leans on that. Short on time? Kitchen and the most space: Les Suites Hotel Ottawa. A pool and a suite near Parliament Hill: Lord Elgin Hotel. Across the river in Quebec: Four Points by Sheraton Gatineau-Ottawa. ## How we picked These are the Ottawa hotels in Play Day with real family facts, written up from their listings and each hotel's own pages. ## Downtown Ottawa The big central hotels, for a family that wants to walk to the sights and doesn't mind a city-sized lobby. ### [Les Suites Hotel Ottawa](https://ourplayday.com/places/les-suites-hotel-ottawa-ottawa) Area: ByWard Market Les Suites Hotel Ottawa is all suites: one, two or three bedrooms, full kitchens, a sofa bed in the bigger ones and an indoor pool.
