Admission to the exhibit for the general public is based on timed ticketing. This requires members of the public to call in advance and reserve a time to view the exhibit. Visitor's who stay with either Ottawa hotel, have the privilege of purchasing their tickets to the exhibit without having to reserve a time.

We understand that guests traveling to Ottawa have a very finite amount of time to visit attractions. The beauty of booking a Renoir package with us is that the guest will have a guaranteed time to see the Renoir Landscapes Exhibit and will not leave disappointed

"We are pleased to partner with the Albert at Bay Suite Hotel and Best Western Victoria Park Suites to help provide a unique and enriching experience to tourists visiting the National Capital Region", said Joanne Charette, Director of Public Affairs at the National Gallery.

Ten years after Renoir's Portraits, which set an attendance record of 340,000, the National Gallery of Canada now invites you to see Renoir's landscape paintings, on loan from leading art museums and private collections around the world. Renoir Landscapes, 1865-1883 will be complemented by lectures, concerts, workshops, a bilingual audio guide, and a full colour comprehensive catalogue, a Canadian exclusivity to Ottawa.

The Renoir Landscapes Exhibition features 60 of Renoir's most beautiful landscape paintings, on loan from leading art museums and private collections around the world. Both the Albert at Bay and Victoria Park will offer packages for the exhibit which will last from June 7, 2007 until September 8, 2007. The Albert at Bay & Best Western Victoria Park Suites hotel packages will also include gift certificates to the National Gallery Book Store which will feature some of the artist's prints.

"We understand that guests traveling to Ottawa have a very finite amount of time to visit attractions. The beauty of booking a Renoir package with us is that the guest will have a guaranteed time to see the Renoir Landscapes Exhibit and will not leave disappointed," says Roger MacKinnon, Director of Sales & Marketing. "We are delighted to be in partnership with the National Gallery to help make this happen," adds MacKinnon.
