Located just across the river from Canada’s capital, Ottawa, this historic region offers sophisticated meeting venues, diverse accommodations, and opportunities for outdoor activities, culinary discoveries, cultural experiences and wellness.
The Outaouais region features premier venues such as Fairmont Le Château Montebello, Hilton Lac-Leamy, Palais des congrès de Gatineau, and the Canadian Museum of History. Together, they provide options ranging from executive retreats to large-scale conventions.
Located in the heart of downtown Gatineau, the Palais des congrès de Gatineau is a great multifunctional convention centre located minutes from hotels, restaurants, and the famous Canadian Museum of History. It features more than 54,000 square feet of meeting and event space that includes 12 pillar-free meeting rooms. It is also adjacent to the Four Points by Sheraton Gatineau-Ottawa.
Fairmont Le Château Montebello embodies an authentic Canadian experience distinguished by more than 40 on-site activities and experiences, including an 18-hole golf course, opportunities for cycling and hiking, and relaxing at the luxurious spa. Two restaurants, including Nymark, feature refined menus that celebrate regional products. Nymark awakens guests’ senses with shareable plates and intimate storytelling during a dining journey through history and culture.
Hilton Lac-Leamy, located on the shores of Leamy Lake and the Lac de la Carrière, blends contemporary elegance and comfort with lakeside tranquility. It features 51,000 square feet of meeting space and 16 modular rooms that can accommodate a wide range of events, from executive meetings to banquets for up to 1,000 guests.
An expansion project currently underway will increase the property’s event capacity to more than 100,000 square feet, creating modern and spacious facilities designed to host larger conventions and major events. The new convention centre is scheduled to open in fall 2028.
In addition to its meeting infrastructure, the resort offers a spacious Casino, a Theatre that seats 1068 people, Amerispa, the renowned Bacchus cigar lounge, several restaurants, and a variety of entertainment experiences, making it a premier destination for both business and leisure travelers.
The Canadian Museum of History is a renowned cultural institution and a distinctive event setting. Housed in a scenic riverfront building designed by Indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal, the Museum is one of Canada’s most popular museums and offers spectacular venues for large to intimate banquets, cocktail receptions, conferences, meetings and concerts.
From the iconic Grand Hall, which houses a vast collection of totem poles, to the elegant foyer, the Canadian History Hall, several options are available for event planners.
Beyond the venues, Gatineau Park, often called the region’s “green lung,” spans more than 140 square miles of forests, lakes and rolling hills. Its proximity to Gatineau makes it a paradise for hiking, biking, canoeing, and cross-country skiing. Must-see attractions include the Mackenzie King Estate, the Champlain Lookout, and Lake Philippe.
Nestled in the heart of Gatineau Park is Camp Fortune, a four-season outdoor destination that offers group activities and is a natural choice for any event. Outside, summer brings adventures such as the mountain coaster, zipline tours, and aerial park; and as the seasons change, the momentum keeps going with skiing events that build camaraderie.
