The Hilton Lac-Leamy is a polished four-star hotel on a lake in Gatineau, connected directly to the grand Casino du Lac-Leamy and only minutes across the river from downtown Ottawa.
The Casino du Lac-Leamy is a grand, chandeliered Loto-Quebec room — hundreds of slots and a full spread of table games under glass, by the water, connected to the Hilton so you never step outside. The setting of light and lake makes it one of the more handsome floors in the country.
The Hilton holds around 350 dependable four-star rooms and suites, many with lake or city views. The direct, covered link to the gaming is the real draw — a two-minute walk in any weather, which counts for a lot in a capital-region winter.
There is fine dining, a spa, indoor and outdoor lakeside pools and a theatre next door, with downtown Ottawa's museums and Parliament minutes away over the river. It suits a couple's escape and a conference equally well.
Lac-Leamy sits in Gatineau, minutes from downtown Ottawa — an unusually convenient casino-hotel for the capital, and good value for a four-star with a grand casino wired directly into it.
