While this "marquis hotel" is still nothing but a nice thought, the "Groupe Germain Hospitality" ( http://groupegermain.com/en/history.asp) has placed an ad in today’s Ottawa Citizen's Business and Technology section looking for a partner "owning interest in prime urban location" in either the CBD or the Market area for a new high class or boutique hotel in Downtown Ottawa.
Let’s hope for the best!
By the way, that "marquis hotel" we've been waiting for, I'm predicting it will be revealed before the end of this year along with the new Rideau Centre expansion plans once the Rideau Subway station are publicized. |
I'd love to see a Le Germain in the Market, especially along Dalhousie street. The area is ripe for upscale retail and services.
