Les Suites Hotel

Les Suites Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Les Suites Hotel on Besserer Street, you immediately get that “boutique but not trying too hard” vibe that’s honestly pretty rare in Ottawa. The lobby feels more like a well-appointed living room than a typical hotel entrance — which makes sense once you realize this four-star property is actually built around the concept of extended stays and suite-style accommodations.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re right in the ByWard Market area without being stuck in the middle of all the weekend chaos. Besserer Street is just quiet enough that you’ll actually sleep well, but you can walk to the Rideau Centre in about five minutes if you need to grab something. The location score of 9.1 isn’t just marketing fluff either; couples especially seem to get it, rating the area 9.2 for romantic getaways.

You know what’s actually useful? There’s parking right on site, which anyone who’s tried to find a spot downtown on a Friday night will appreciate. I mean, paid parking in Ottawa’s core can be a real headache, so having that sorted is worth mentioning.

The Suite Life

The room setup here is where Les Suites really shines — these aren’t your standard hotel boxes. Most accommodations come with separate living areas and proper kitchenettes (not just a mini-fridge and hope). The kitchenette actually has everything you need if you want to skip room service and make your own coffee that doesn’t taste like it came from a packet.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here covers all the bases without getting too fancy about it. They’ve got the full English spread if you’re feeling ambitious, continental options for lighter eaters, and — this is smart — breakfast to go for those early meeting days. The vegetarian and American options mean pretty much everyone in your group will find something that works.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

There’s something to be said for a place that has more repeat guests than most other properties in the city. Maybe it’s because the suites feel more like temporary apartments than hotel rooms, or maybe it’s just that the staff actually remembers your name after a couple visits. Either way, when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two, those little touches start to matter more than you’d think.
