Events & Meetings at Xeneri
Ottawa's character as a federal capital means that the meetings held here carry genuine consequence - policy briefings, inter-ministry retreats, association galas, and diplomatic dinners all find their way to Xeneri Hotelinsight because the property treats every gathering as though its outcome matters. Our events team has planned bilingual conferences for 200 delegates and intimate board dinners for eight, applying the same attention to detail in both cases. The spaces themselves do part of the work: reclaimed limestone walls, adjustable acoustic panels, and a heritage-building aesthetic give every room a presence that a generic convention centre simply cannot replicate.
Six Distinct Event Salons
Ranging from the 12-seat Boardroom Champlain to the 200-person Grand Salon des Fondateurs, our six rooms can be configured independently or opened into a single connected venue for larger receptions.
Bilingual Event Coordination
Every events coordinator on staff is fully bilingual in English and French, a practical necessity in Ottawa's federal milieu and a genuine convenience for delegations from across Canada and Québec.
Limestone & Thyme Catering Integration
Events draw directly from Limestone & Thyme's kitchen rather than a separate banquet operation, meaning the food at your reception carries the same seasonal sourcing and culinary standard as the main dining room.
Parliamentary District Proximity
Located twelve minutes on foot from the House of Commons, Xeneri is the natural choice for post-committee receptions, lobbying dinners, and inter-departmental retreats that benefit from proximity to the Hill.
Full AV & Simultaneous Interpretation
All salons are pre-wired for high-definition projection, fibre-optic internet, and simultaneous interpretation booths - infrastructure that Ottawa's bilingual conference culture demands and that our team maintains in-house.
Post-Event Accommodation Blocks
Event organisers receive a dedicated room block at a preferred rate, with a single point of contact managing both the event logistics and guest room assignments so that nothing falls between two departments.
