Winter Celebration in Ottawa



Where better to celebrate the Canadian Winter than in our National’s Capital? A two day short break enabled me to sample some of the delights of Ottawa. I stayed at Ottawa’s newest boutique hotel, Hotel Indigo Ottawa, ideally positioned at Metcalf and Laurier. Designed for relaxation and renewal, the décor changes seasonally and it is an apt and comfortable HQ for exploring Ottawa, positioned close to the many cultural attractions.

Culturally the National Gallery of Canada constantly amazes me. The permanent collection is wonderful and the Group of Seven exhibit always leaves me in awe. But the travelling exhibits are particularly noteworthy and this winter’s Ron Mueck’s installation of a giant baby is certainly that!
