From exquisite dining experiences to dancing the night away, there’s something for everyone at Casino du Lac-Leamy. Here are all the best things to do at Casino du Lac-Leamy for an unforgettable visit.
Stay at Hilton Lac-Leamy
Indulge in a luxurious escape at the Hilton Lac-Leamy Hotel, just a 10-minute drive from downtown Ottawa. It is ideal for a relaxing staycation or a convenient base for exploring the capital.
The rooms boast breathtaking views of Lac-Leamy that captivate throughout the day. Enjoy the spacious accommodations featuring comfortable beds, plush bathrobes, a makeup area table and mirror, a luxurious soaker tub, and more. From morning to night, the scenery is simply unforgettable.
Beyond the exquisite accommodations, we were thrilled with the hotel’s proximity to the Casino du Lac-Leamy, offering the convenience of enjoying everything under one roof for the entire weekend. The hotel itself serves as an oasis between activities, with even the lobby adorned with stunning glass-blown art. Step outside and bask in the ambiance of twinkle lights at and outdoor tables.
Conrad Lounge
If you stay in one of the rooms or suites on the upper three levels, you’ll also have access to the premium lounge, the Conrad Room. This room offers continental breakfast every morning and delicious hors d’d’œuvres at cocktail hour. You can also get drinks and coffee in this room and enjoy it at a table overlooking Lac Leamy. Soak up the sunshine in the comfy lounge chairs of the Conrad Room terrace.
Relax at Hilton Lac Leamy
Spend A Day by the Pool
Indulge in relaxation with indoor and outdoor pool experiences at Hilton Lac Leamy. My favourite was the dreamy heated outdoor pool, offering panoramic views of Lac Leamy.
During our spring visit, I loved the sight of steam dancing above the shimmering blue water. Just imagine taking a swim here amidst the vibrant fall foliage! Additionally, unwind in the inviting hot tub or lounge on poolside chairs, soaking in the serene atmosphere.
Pamper Yourself at AmeriSpa
Amidst the exciting activities, treat yourself to a rejuvenating experience at AmeriSpa inside Hilton Lac Leamy. Relax with a massage tailored to release muscle tension, alleviate stress, and promote overall well-being. Indulge in various treatments, including manicures, pedicures, exfoliations, and more.
Before or after your spa session, unwind in the serene surroundings overlooking the pool, savoring a moment of tranquillity while you rehydrate.
Your Night Out At Casino du Lac Leamy
One of my favourite things about Casino du Lac Leamy is its diverse range of entertainment options all conveniently located under one roof. Whether you’re looking for lively nightlife, dining experiences, or gaming excitement, there’s something to suit every taste and preference. The casino also offers the flexibility to explore multiple venues and activities in one thrilling night. Let’s explore some must-visit spots together. Here are some places you can’t miss:
The Zone
The Zone is perfect for those wanting to try their hand at some games in a fun atmosphere. It’s also ideal for beginners or for group friends who wish to play different games at the same time.
Sit down at one of the stations and choose your game. Follow the upbeat hosts at the front, who will be sharing results live. Choose from 8 different games. You could be playing roulette, and your friend could be playing Black Jack, side by side. I love that you can play at your own pace at the zone, and you and all your friends can stick together while playing different games.
Bar 7
This needs to be on your list of things to do at Casino du Lac-Leamy. Bar 7 is the perfect spot for a fun cocktail before hitting the dance floor. You’re right in the middle of all the action, and the surrounding lights create a cool atmosphere.
On Thursdays, they have their Latin Fiesta night, which is perfect for practicing your salsa dancing. On Fridays and Saturdays, you can catch a live DJ.
Alea
Dance the night away at Club Aléa. This quickly became one of my favourite things to do at Casino du Lac-Leamy. We had so much fun at Club Aléa from the music, lights, smoke, confetti and more.
This is the perfect spot to get lost in the music. Here, you’ll find a live DJ, multimedia projections and a fun party atmosphere for a night out. It’s open 11 pm-3 am. They often have DJs headlining here too! Bottle service is available, and you can reserve sections. This is perfect for a fun night out, birthday, bachelor/bachelorette or any celebration.
Théâtre du Casino
Enter the grand theatre and enjoy a variety of shows, including tribute concerts for popular bands and artists like Abba and Elvis. It was such a great night out and an opportunity to enjoy the music of artists we’re not able to see.
We saw Pete Paquette perform, an award-winning Elvis performer. I loved seeing the crowd get so involved and excited. This performance was the next best thing to the real deal!

Restaurants in Casino du Lac Leamy
Arôme
Arôme is one of the capital’s best restaurants with its upscale dining and creative dishes! Every meal here is always impeccable. Arôme is perfect for a nice dinner out and special occasions. They also have a beautiful patio overlooking Lac de la Carrière in the warmer months.
Arôme specializes in seafood and grill cuisine. I recommend getting their menu experience where you can try an appetizer, main and dessert. The meals are full of fresh flavours and taste as good as they look. I recommend pairing your meal with a bottle of wine from their wonderful collection.
I also recommend having breakfast here. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet full of everything you could desire, from fresh pastries to eggs and waffles with all the toppings.
Banco Bistro
Enjoy modern, casual fare with great prices at Banco Bistro. From cheeseburger poutine to their crispy chicken sandwich, there are plenty of great items to choose from. Make sure to get their tempura shrimp appetizer! Banco Bistro is located right next to the action, so it’s a great spot to catch a quick bite between activities.
Nearby Dining: Le BBQ Shop
For lunch one day, we ventured nearby to Le BBQ Shop. This rustic-style restaurant offers smoked BBQ specialties. We wanted to try a mix, so we got the rib ends, fried baby, and brisket cheese balls.
