New Name For Best Western Cartier Hotel

Name Change Communicates Enhanced Amenities, Experience

Gatineau, Quebec. April 21st 2011 – The former Best Western Cartier Hotel and Conference Centre is now the BEST WESTERN PLUS Gatineau–Ottawa Hotel and Conference Centre, after earning the “BEST WESTERN PLUS” descriptor from the World’s Biggest Hotel FamilySM. The new descriptors, launched in 2010, give Best Western hotels the opportunity to earn the “BEST WESTERN PLUS” or “BEST WESTERN PREMIER®” designation by meeting specific design and amenity guidelines. “BEST WESTERN PLUS” indicates an upper midscale hotel with well appointed rooms with modern amenities, and an enhanced level of comfort for guests looking to get the most out of their stay.

“No two Best Western hotels are alike, so these new descriptors will help our guests choose the right hotel for their needs from among the brand’s 2,200 North American properties,” said David Kong, Best Western International president and CEO. “Hotels that earn the ‘Plus’ descriptor typically have a 3-Diamond rating from CAA/AAA, and offer a little something extra to make a guest’s stay even more comfortable.”

With 133 guestrooms and convenient guest services such as free high-speed internet access, the BEST WESTERN PLUS Gatineau–Ottawa is thoughtfully designed to suit the needs of any business or leisure traveler. The hotel is located at 131 Rue Laurier and is the region’s only waterfront hotel offering clients breathtaking views of Canada’s capital and the Parliament buildings and is ideally located on the door step of the Canadian Museum of Civilization.

“We are proud to be installing our new ‘BEST WESTERN PLUS’ signage,” said Martin Fogarty, General Manager of the BEST WESTERN PLUS Gatineau–Ottawa “We offer the great service and value that Best Western is known for, and in addition we offer complimentary amenities such as a business center, a fitness facility and a heated indoor salt water swimming pool. The hotel also features 5000 square feet of meeting space over 4 meeting and reception rooms, suitable for groups from 10-270 people.

Best Western International, Inc. is THE WORLD’S BIGGEST HOTEL FAMILYSM, providing marketing, reservations and operational support to over 4,000 hotels in 90* countries and territories worldwide. Each Best Western-branded hotel is independently owned and operated. Now celebrating 65 years of hospitality, Best Western has grown into an iconic brand that hosts 400,000* worldwide guests each night.
