The Parliament Buildings are within easy walking distance from the hotel, as well as the National Arts Centre and the Ottawa Congress Centre.

The Ramada is situated at the East end of Cooper Street, very close to the Rideau Canal and the Queen Elizabeth Parkway. It is a quiet area with lots of walking paths nearby.

A chartered bus will provide transportation to and from the conference, twice daily, and the public transport is very accessible from this area to Carleton University.
