There’s no need to dig out your passport for a luxurious getaway this summer. Only five minutes from Ottawa, this lakeside destination has elegant accommodation, delicious food, live music, games and more under one roof.
Overlooking Québec’s Lac Leamy and Lac des Carrières, the lush Hôtel-Casino du Lac-Leamy turns a weekend escape from the GTA into a bona fide vacation without the international airfare.
It all starts with the five-star accommodation at the attached Hilton Lac-Leamy. After pulling into the complimentary parking, you can check into your room and explore the amenities.
From relaxing by the pool to getting a tension-busting massage at Amerispa, vacation mode is activated from the moment you arrive.

Once you’re settled in and feeling refreshed, the action begins. For guests aged 18 and over, Hôtel-Casino du Lac-Leamy is full of options. The only tricky part is deciding what to do first.
Dining is an obvious choice. For high-end dining, Arôme: Seafood and Grill serves delicious dishes alongside waterfront views. Banco Bistro also has your back until midnight on Friday and Saturday with pizzas, burgers, and more.

As for things to do, the Théâtre du Casino is a must. This 1,200-seat space hosts amazing shows year-round, and the upcoming program is no exception.
From iconic acts like Jesse Cook, STYX and Buena Vista Orchestra to tribute shows for Céline, Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin and more, there’s plenty to sing and dance to.

In 2026, the theatre is also hosting Australia’s Thunder from Down Under — Most Wanted Tour and TITANIQUE, a must-sea musical comedy! that’ll have you gasping and giggling all the way through.
After your show, you can explore the gaming floor, where Vegas-style slot machines, classic table games and more are available.
Let the good times roll at the casino’s on-site nightclub, Aléa, where DJs collaborate with artists in the immersive space that’ll have you dancing until the early hours.
For live bands and a more laid-back feel, Bar 7 (also in the casino) is the spot. And, back at the hotel’s Grand Hall, you’ll also find Bacchus — a refined lounge with an adjacent cigar room.

Finally, because you’re so close to two beautiful lakes, you can easily step outside and explore nature. If you want to get out on the water, you can rent a kayak locally. Otherwise, lakeside trails lead you on an easy hike through the nearby parc du Lac-Leamy.
