Your own Ottawa list of hotels
Hotels range from family run guest houses to branded properties with a general manager and department heads. Independent hotels decide on site, while group hotels often buy through a central team, so finding the right person matters as much as the offer.
Start with Ottawa itself and keep Montreal, Toronto and Quebec City as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same hotel twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Ontario is done.
Your competitors are already emailing hotels in Ottawa. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Ottawa list of hotels in four steps
Nothing is written to your database until you confirm it.
Collect hotels in Ottawa
Export hotels in Ottawa from Google Maps listings or travel review and booking sites as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Hotels Ottawa. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick info@, reservations@, reception@ and events@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for hotels in Ottawa
Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Rooms | Room count is the clearest sign of size and budget. |
| Star rating | Rating shapes expectations for amenities and service. |
| Independent or chain | Chain hotels often buy centrally, independents decide locally. |
| Restaurant or events | Hotels with food and events buy far more than rooms only. |
| General manager | The name of the decision maker once you find it. |
What slows down prospecting hotels, and the fix
The reservations address goes to front desk staff who do not pass sales mails on.
Tick events@ and info@ as well in email from domain and note which address brought a reply.
Chain and independent hotels need completely different approaches.
Add a field for ownership type and save a filter for each, with its own campaign.
Big hotel lists lead to overlap between colleagues.
Duplicate checks on import and one shared database keep every hotel in one place.
Openings that work with hotels
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets hotels to click.
- Tie your offer to guest reviews, because hotels watch their scores closely.
- Address occupancy and the quieter season, when a hotel is open to new ideas.
- Ask for the right department head, since the reception address rarely reaches the buyer.

Read moreEmailing hotels in Canada
In Canada, commercial email falls under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which is stricter than most and generally requires express or implied consent before you send. Implied consent only applies in limited cases, for example when someone has conspicuously published their business email address without saying they do not want messages and your message is relevant to their role. Every message must identify you, include your contact details and offer an unsubscribe option that works. This is general information, not legal advice.
Managers are easier to reach outside peak season and away from check-in and check-out hours, so late morning midweek works well. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the hotels yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.
Yes. Put Ottawa in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Ottawa. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
In independent hotels it is usually the owner or general manager. Record the name in a field when you find it, and use a role address such as info@ until then.
Yes. Add a number field for rooms and filter on it, for example hotels with more than a certain number of rooms.
