OTTAWA — The AC Hotel by Marriott Ottawa Downtown is set to open April 24.

The property marks a major expansion of RIMAP Hospitality’s regional footprint, with the new hotel serving as the first of three Marriott-branded hotel projects in the capital area, including the Moxy Ottawa Downtown opening in early 2026 and the Renaissance Hotel slated for 2027.

The 159-room AC Hotel by Marriott Ottawa Downtown is located at 201 Rideau Street in the heart of Ottawa’s ByWard Market district. The central location puts guests steps from Parliament Hill, the Rogers Centre, Rideau Canal and more.

“AC Hotels are known for thoughtful design and signature moments that elevate every stay,” said Marc Varadi, President of RIMAP Hospitality Inc., “We are thrilled to introduce this refined, European-inspired experience to Ottawa – a city growing as a vibrant hub for business and leisure. This project represents a significant investment in the capital and underscores RIMAP’s long-term vision to expand our presence in key Canadian markets while delivering best-in-class hospitality.”

Amenities include EV charging stations, a pool, sauna, and gym, along with five naturally lit meeting rooms. Culinary offerings include the AC Kitchen, serving a refined European-inspired breakfast, and the AC Lounge, offering craft cocktails and tapas in the evening.
