Ottawa Corporate Housing for Government, Defence & Business Travel
As Canada's capital city, Ottawa is home to Parliament Hill, federal government departments, national agencies, defence organizations, and a thriving technology sector centred around Kanata. The city draws a unique mix of federal government employees, defence and aerospace professionals, technology workers, relocating employees, and insurance displacement guests seeking furnished apartments in Ottawa for extended stays. Premiere Suites offers fully furnished accommodations across Downtown Ottawa, Westboro, and Kanata for individuals, couples, families, and project teams.
Ottawa’s Government, Defence & Technology Economy
Ottawa's demand for furnished apartments is driven by the federal public sector, major defence contractors, and a growing technology and life sciences economy. The Government of Canada is the city's largest employer, with departments including National Defence, the Canada Revenue Agency, and Health Canada generating a steady flow of employees on temporary assignment and inter-departmental transfers. Defence and aerospace firms such as General Dynamics Mission Systems, Lockheed Martin Canada, and Thales Canada contribute ongoing project-based demand, alongside a life sciences and cleantech sector that includes more than 140 medical device and biopharmaceutical companies, including Nordion and Spartan Bioscience. Ottawa also hosts more than 130 foreign embassies, attracting diplomatic staff and international business travellers who require corporate housing in Ottawa for extended stays.

Suites in Downtown Ottawa and Centretown, including 75 Slater Street steps from Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal, and 169 Lisgar on Elgin Street near ByWard Market, sit within walking distance of O-Train Confederation Line stations at Lyon and Parliament.

Guests attending the Ottawa Hospital, one of Canada's largest learning and research hospitals with over 1,100 beds serving Eastern Ontario, will find suites within reach across multiple neighbourhoods.
