In mid-May, the city is brightened by a brilliant display of spring tulips that cover the city. Princess (later Queen) Juliana of the Netherlands and her family took refuge in Ottawa during World War II. When the family returned home, they presented Ottawa with a huge gift of bulbs. Since then, more than 10,000 bulbs have arrived every year. Now, in spring, the capital is carpeted with the colour of over 1,000,000 tulips!
The conference hotel is very central, next to the Rideau Canal and the Byward Market. The market is 150 years old and is a center for boutiques, restaurants, and entertainment. The hotel is within walking distance of many fine restaurants, good shopping, the spectacular Parliament Buildings, and many of Ottawa's museums and other attractions. There are many other hotels near by including the Lord Elgin, and Novotel.
Also during May-June, Ottawa will host a world-wide celebration of the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Because of the unpredictable effect of this latter event on hotel space, you are urged to book your hotel room early!
Many flights from Europe arrive at Montreal's Mirabel Airport. There are buses from Mirabel to Ottawa, but it is preferable to make a connecting flight.
For those renting a car at Ottawa's MacDonald-Cartier International Airport: follow the airport parkway to Colonel By Drive (just after the entrance to Carleton University). Turn right (east) on Colonel By Drive. The Westin is located just before the intersection of Colonel By Drive and Rideau Street (about 3 miles (5km) from the right turn).
