Hard Rock International will open the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa on July 3, 2025, marking its first fully integrated resort in Canada.
Hard Rock International announced the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa, scheduled for July 3, 2025, at 1 PM. The new hotel is located in the National Capital Region and is set to become Canada’s first fully integrated Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa will feature 150 guest rooms, including 22 luxury suites. The property will also offer a comprehensive entertainment and gaming experience over 150,000 square feet. This includes 1,500 slot machines, up to 40 table games, and a high-limit gaming area. Dining options will be abundant with 10 restaurants and bars, including the well-known Hard Rock Cafe and the Council Oak Steaks & Seafood.
Additionally, the property will house a Hard Rock Live entertainment space with a capacity of 2,200, which will host Canadian entertainers during the grand opening week. The lineup for this event will be announced closer to the opening date.
The construction of the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is nearing completion. In the interim, the existing Rideau Carleton Casino continues to operate on the site. Post-opening, renovations will commence on the original building with an expected full completion by the end of 2025. This will expand the gaming areas and dining facilities.
The project is anticipated to create 700 local jobs and aims to significantly contribute to the local economy. It will also engage in community initiatives through partnerships with non-profit organizations and local sponsorships.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa is part of a broader expansion strategy by Hard Rock International.
