Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Ottawa cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Ottawa vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $139 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Ottawa is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Ottawa for beaches is along the Illinois River, particularly near Allen Park and the confluence of the Fox and Illinois Rivers.

This area is generally known for its outdoor recreation and proximity to the water. While Ottawa isn't traditionally a beach destination with vast stretches of sand, the parks along the river offer access to water activities and sandy spots superb for relaxing by the river. You'll find areas suitable for picnics and enjoying the river views.

Families often find this area appealing due to the open spaces and opportunities for children to play near the water. Allen Park, for instance, provides green areas and access to the riverfront, making it a nice spot for a relaxed day out.

For those who enjoy being close to nature and water-based activities, this area offers a convenient base.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Ottawa?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Ottawa is during the height of summer, typically July and August. These months bring the warmest weather, with average temperatures often reaching the high 20s or even low 30s Celsius, great for enjoying the sandy shores and waters of the Illinois River.

During this period, beach hotels are bustling with activity, and you'll find a lively option around the waterfront areas. It's an excellent time for families looking to make the most of outdoor aquatic activities, from swimming and sunbathing to kayaking and paddleboarding. Many local businesses extend their hours, and there are often community events and festivals that enhance the summer experience.

For a slightly more tranquil experience with still-pleasant weather, June presents a wonderful alternative. While the temperatures are comfortably warm, typically in the mid-20s Celsius, you may find better value on accommodation and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular beach hotels.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Ottawa as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.

However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options.

Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Ottawa for you.
