Moxy Ottawa Downtown has officially opened its doors, bringing Marriott's lifestyle-focused Moxy brand to Canada's capital for the first time.
The new hotel is within walking distance of Rideau Street, Gatineau and many of the city's business, entertainment, shopping and cultural attractions.
The opening follows the debut of the AC Hotel by Marriott Ottawa Downtown in 2025 and marks another milestone in RIMAP Hospitality's expansion in the capital region. The company is also planning to open the Renaissance Hotel Ottawa Downtown in 2027.
Designed around the Moxy brand's social-first concept, the hotel offers industrial-inspired interiors, communal lounges, coworking spaces and guestrooms with space-saving layouts, walk-in showers, motion-activated LED guide lights and wall-mounted storage.
At the centre of the property is Moxy Bar, which serves breakfast and dinner and will host a regular lineup of entertainment, including game nights, live DJs, themed events and other social programming.
The hotel has also introduced "Mox," a moose mascot that serves as the property's brand ambassador. The character, which appeared in social media campaigns before the opening, now greets guests from atop a custom motorcycle in the hotel lobby.
Additional amenities include a fitness centre and gathering spaces for work and social events.
"Marriott International is thrilled to continue its partnership with RIMAP Hospitality Services Inc. with the opening of Moxy Ottawa Downtown," said Aaron Laurie, AVP of Development, Eastern Canada, at Marriott International.
"Moxy Hotels has redefined the lifestyle hospitality category around the world through bold design, vibrant social experiences, and an energetic spirit that resonates strongly with today's travellers. We are excited to see the brand make its Ottawa debut in the heart of the ByWard Market."
