We were offered a complimentary stay at Albert at Bay Suites Hotel Ottawa. So, I took the opportunity to book the hotel for my husband’s 40th birthday. A big thank you to the teams at Albert at Bay and Occo Kitchen for making our stay extra special!
24-hrs of R&R in Gatineau: Nordik Spa, Biscotti & Cie and The Wakefield Mill
I couldn’t find research to back this next statement, but sometimes I feel like tourists know more than locals when it comes to hotspots in a city. I mean, locals know where the everyday essentials are, but they don’t always go the extra mile, they tend not to explore close to home and don’t necessarily splurge on staycations. But if you factor in the cost of travel, you may be ahead if you just stay close to home and treat yourself! And if you’re too busy to get away for an entire weekend, consider what you can do in just 24 hours. Katie Hession (Yow City Style) and I were up for the challenge when Outaouais Tourism put together a decadent stay for us to experience 24-hours of R&R in Gatineau: Nordik Spa, Biscotti & Cie and The Wakefield Mill were on the agenda!
