A first for the city.

When it was completed in 2016, the Hyatt Andaz Hotel in Ottawa was the first Andaz-branded hotel to be opened in Canada (and the first Hyatt hotel in the city). Located in the Byward Market neighbourhood, the 200-suite hotel features a destination restaurant, meeting facilities, rooftop bar/lounge, as well as an outdoor terrace overlooking the city.

Smith + Andersen was engaged to provide mechanical, electrical, and lighting design. Footprint was engaged as the sustainability consultant. 


More control over your space. 

Mechanically, modular chillers provide both excellent capacity control as well as a level of redundancy. The mechanical design also includes condensing boilers, which provide energy efficient heating. Four pipe fan coil terminal units within the suites provide the ability to heat or cool (based on the individual occupant temperature preferences).

The Andaz Hotel electrical system originates from a new shared hydro vault, and a new 600V, 5000A customer switchgear, provisioned for the hotel and future developments.

 

A bright addition to the city.

The exterior lighting at the lobby level is designed with LED luminaires to enhance the building entrance features and guide the public. The building crown has a combination of down and up lighting to graze the exterior upper façade and down lights are concealed in the exposed trellis structure.
