Ottawa luxury condo‑hotel reStays launches fridge‑filling and curated chef experiences

As part of reStays' services, guests can experience the luxury of having their fridges filled by a 24/7 concierge team. Guests are paired with handpicked local gourmet grocers, allowing them to create their ultimate online grocery carts and have these delivered directly to their suites. The service is exclusive to direct online and phone bookings, which guests can add for a fee. reStays is working on building pre-bundled grocery packages as it diversifies its offering.

In addition to the fridge-filling, guests can experience a once-in-a-lifetime experience of enjoying a chef-prepared meal in the ultimate comfort of their suite. Katie chose Kellie Vu/@kelliespantry for this experience and enjoyed an Asian-style customized menu that included dumplings, scallop motoyaki, shrimp cocktail and a beef steak salad platter.

"Coming home to reStays and having our fridge filled made breakfast and snack time a breeze with the kids. Hosting friends for dinner in the dreamy Heritage Loft with one of the best meals we have ever had, was over the top," said Hession.

Guests wishing to host larger parties can opt to book reStays' event spaces, including the SkyLounge, boasting one of the best direct views of Parliament Hill. With a capacity of 30, the SkyLounge is perfect for hosting intimate cocktail canapé style nights. Otherwise, the lower lounge includes cooking facilities, a large dining table and a configuration that can hold up to 75 guests.

"This is one of many services that sets us apart from other hotels," said Andreas Spove, general manager at reStays, "Our two-bedroom Heritage Loft with a dining table is perfect for hosting unique dinner parties; otherwise, we can match guests with their best suite option."
