Why Guests Love This
CF Rideau Centre is downtown Ottawa’s flagship shopping destination and the natural stop for travelers who want to combine retail with sightseeing — the ByWard Market is a 3-minute walk east, Parliament Hill is 10 minutes west, and the Rideau Canal is directly south. The tenant list runs from luxury brands like Michael Kors and Kate Spade to practical stops like Uniqlo and Simons. For guests who need to replace luggage essentials, pick up Canadian souvenirs, or simply fill a rainy afternoon, it handles all three without requiring a car once you arrive downtown.
