Christine Crump, President of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa, expressed her excitement about the upcoming openings and the new opportunities they bring to the community. “Hard Rock is more than just a brand—it’s an experience,” said Crump. “We are thrilled to bring our world-class hospitality and entertainment to Ottawa and are seeking passionate individuals to help us create unforgettable moments for our guests.”

Ottawa Life Magazine was present at the groundbreaking ceremony in June 2023, which marked the start of this exciting new chapter for Ottawa’s entertainment landscape. Since then, the development has progressed steadily toward delivering a landmark destination for both residents and visitors.
Once complete, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa will feature a modern 150-room hotel (including 22 suites), a sprawling gaming floor with 1,500 slot machines and 40 live-action table games, multiple bars and restaurants—including a Hard Rock Café and Council Oak Steakhouse—a Rock Shop, and the Hard Rock Live venue with over 1,800 seats. Music memorabilia and signature rock ‘n’ roll flair will be on display throughout the property, staying true to the Hard Rock legacy.
As Ottawa gets ready to welcome this globally recognized brand—with 313 locations across 74 countries—the upcoming job fairs offer more than just employment; they open the door to dynamic careers in an industry driven by energy, creativity, and world-class service.
