Shaw Centre Transfers

A shining representation of Canada’s capital, the upscale ambiance of Shaw Centre offers beautiful lookouts of the Ottawa River as well as various boutique food shops across ByWard Market. Often referred to as “Canada’s Meeting Place”, the venue provides an oasis of networking opportunities across four levels. Levels 1-2 are home to variously sized conference halls, as well as a few unique spaces ranging from the Colonel Room near the foyer to the atrium-lit beauty of RCC and RCS. By far the largest space includes Level 3’s Canada Hall, while the most beautiful include Level 4’s Trillium Ballroom. An eclectic mix of surrounding hotels, restaurants and shopping malls also make the region fun to take part in, while relatively close access to the Bayview Train Station makes treks across town better said than done. Take care of business by booking a private lift for intimate travels, reserving a quaint sedan for the opportunity to see the Ottawa River from the scenic Sir George-Etienne Cartier Parkway, or reach Ottawa International with ease by booking one of many meet-and-greet services instead, looking forward to casual arrivals via taxi or spacious limousines perfect for first impressions.

The best way to start off the day is through a quaint walk across the river’s adjacent Rideau Canal Eastern Pathway, a long stretch of waterside oasis looking out at old statues and the early-morning passerby of University of Ottawa students. Sweet digs close to the venue include lavish styles ranging from The Westin Ottawa’s business-friendly ambiance to relaxed indoor pools at the Fairmont Château Laurier. Low-cost alternatives just as close include the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel’s relaxed ambiance beside the Mackenzie King Bridge and the female-only redbrick dubbed Barefoot Hostel. Beyond eccentric housing rests just as unique landmarks along the calm waters of the Ottawa River. Guests can easily reach a variety of Canadian works within the National Gallery of Canada or local history of the Rideau Canal taught through self-guided audio tours at the Bytown Museum. For something simpler, cross the scenic Mackenzie King Bridge for access to the quiet Confederation Park, finally ending the night with casual conversation and a bite to eat from one of many nearby restaurants ranging from seafood at The Shore Club to casual gourmet burgers courtesy of Big Smoke Burger.
