Canada’s capital, Ottawa, stands on the south bank of the Ottawa River in southern Ontario. Getting its name from the Ottawa River (suggesting ‘to trade’), this city is home to many colleges, universities, social establishments, and national museums. The main city attractions are Golden Triangle, Lower Town, and Parliament Hill. Modernistic freeways such as Preston, Rideau, Wellington, Sussex Drive, Elgin, Richmond Road, Somerset, and Sparks Street are home to many museums, boutiques, galleries, theatres, landmarks, memorials, cafes, bars, nightclubs, and other fun things to do. Thousands of tourists flock to Ottawa during its annual festivals such as Winterlude, the Canadian Tulip Festival, Canada Day, Bluesfest, Dragon Boat, Jazz, Fringe, and Folk Music Festivals. Whether you are visiting for business or leisure, here is a rundown of some of the best luxury Airbnbs in Ottawa, Canada.
What to look forward to in Ottawa:
Outdoor activities: Ottawa is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities, especially in summer. If you’re into water sports, explore the Ottawa River and the many lakes in the city via stand-up paddle boarding, canoeing, or white water rafting. Land-based activities include hiking, spelunking, zip-lining, hot-air ballooning, and more. In fact, the city celebrates a hot-air ballooning festival every year, called the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival.
Countryside vibes: Aside from its modern attractions and activities, Ottawa also offers countryside charm. Visit Manotick Village if you’re a lover of the small-town vibe. The destination is tucked along the Rideau River and offers beautiful scenery and refreshing outdoor activities. You will also find plenty of shopping and dining venues, such as Mansfield’s Shoes, The Miller’s Oven, and more.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to luxury services and amenities.

What guests loved about this luxury Airbnb:
“We had a wonderful time at James’ home. The house is beautiful, and the location is tranquil and removed from town, but you can get to groceries, restaurants, etc., in 20 minutes. We fell in love with the view of the water—it was incredible. It’s a peaceful place, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. The fireplace is a must! Highly recommended!” - by Melis (Kailua, Hawaii)
“James was very responsive and helpful answering any questions my wife and I had. This was our first time being in Canada together. James was quick to respond to any concerns or questions we had and was helpful in giving recommendations for local restaurants to try as well as local activities to do. The view and surroundings were very beautiful and this place is a great location to stay at if you want to have some time to just relax at a peaceful environment” - by Nathan

“Fantastic location at a good value! May was immediately accessible and quick to help even at odd hours. Her check-in instructions were easy to use. The location is fantastic. A block from the fun ByWard Market District, about a block from the National Gallery, and an easy walk to everywhere in the heart of the city. Even a beautiful easy walk over into Quebec and the great national museums there. About 15 minutes by Uber from the airport or train. VERY convenient for exploring Ottawa!
