London’s reputation as a music city is one of the reasons that the was chosen as the perfect spot for the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel Ottawa. The combination of untapped potential and a love for music makes it the ideal location for one of Hard Rock’s lively venues.
The project is about much more than a fancy casino and one of the biggest hotels in Ottawa. It’s an attempt at elevating the city and turning it into an entertainment hub and attracting tourism.
“Hard Rock doesn’t just build casinos—it builds destinations,” says Christine Crump, president of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa. “This is about creating a world-class experience that Ottawa has long deserved.”

Within months, people will be streaming into the vibrant venue pulsating with rock and roll tunes and excitement.
With the rise of competitive online casinos, some physical casinos have been forced to close down due to declining revenue, but the Hard Rock Casino franchise seems to be more than thriving. The company is expanding rapidly with in cities such as Barcelona, Las Vegas, Malta, São Paulo and Prague.
The reason Hard Rock International appears immune to the threat of online casinos is likely due to the extreme focus and attention to detail when it comes to designing an experience for each player setting foot in any of its locations.
Besides the timeless rock and roll theme, complete with music and fashion stores, the operator also ensures each location brings something from the surrounding area to create a totally unique and localized experience at each of the locations.
Every part of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa is intentional. The walls are lined with authentic music memorabilia. The speakeasy is named 1913 after the year the Kellogg factory was first opened. Plus, the Ottawa casino has been tuned to the culture, featuring Canadian cuisine and local art.
Locally sourced materials and craftsmanship play a major role in the building's character and include custom stonework, millwork and commissioned artwork. Every aspect and every detail is intentional and tailored to fit perfectly with the unique combination of Ottawa’s spirit and the timeless brand that Hard Rock International is.
And of course, it would be impossible not to mention the 30-foot-tall showpiece guitar that demands the admiration of anyone passing by.
The signature style is obvious in the casino's interior, where everything from the tunes to the music memorabilia lining the walls will remind visitors of the theme of the place. The destination is complete with an integrated Hard Rock Cafe and a merch store featuring one-of-a-kind keepsakes for die-hard Hard Rock fans.
