With a unique history and a long-standing connection to the community, The Metcalfe was renovated in 2017 with a thoughtful design, picked to honour the building’s roots and culture. Once the home of Sir George-Etienne Cartier, and subsequently the YMCA, The Metcalfe is now a boutique hotel, conveniently located in downtown Ottawa.
The hotel is sleek and modern, while retaining its proud history by displaying memorabilia throughout the hotel. The staff offer great service, and are proud to be honouring a building that offers so much to Ottawa’s community history. Steps from the thriving Elgin Street and a short walk from Parliament Hill, The Metcalfe is a unique place to stay that offers both great value and an insight into a piece of Ottawa’s culture.
We鈥檙e found that the Metcalfe鈥檚 character, comfortable rooms and helpful staff tend to guarantee a pleasant stay. The hotel is popular with government workers due to its proximity to Parliament Hill, however this shouldn鈥檛 detract from the hotel鈥檚 unique backstory and excellent facilities.
