Andaz Ottawa – A hotel inspired by Canadian art and culture
By: ArtBank / 27 September 2016
With Canada’s 150th right around the corner, hotels in the National Capital Region are gearing up for a very busy 2017. And so, it is timely that our newest client, Andaz Ottawa, opened their first Canadian hotel in the ByWard Market this month.
Andaz Ottawa worked with award-winning interior design firm Mason Studio to bring the vision for the hotel’s local flavour to life. Each floor of the 16-story hotel reflects the history and character of a Canadian province or territory with the help of artworks from the Art Bank collection.
"What makes Andaz hotels stand out from others is what we refer to as The Andaz Experience. We want to provide our guests with an authentic, local experience – from the art on the walls to the food and drinks in our restaurants. We were very impressed by the selection of artworks available at the Art Bank and how their team was able to work with our designers to find the perfect pieces to complement our desired look and feel." - Rachel Kerr, Andaz Ottawa
