OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators ( @Senators ) announced today a new partnership with Ottawa's leading four-diamond hotel, resort and conference centre, the Brookstreet Hotel.

This partnership continues to recognize the Brookstreet Hotel as the official hotel and resort of the Ottawa Senators and Canadian Tire Centre, while also including the title sponsorship to the newly renovated Brookstreet Lounge (formerly the Alumni Lounge) located at ice level.

New for the 2018-19 season - the partnership will allow Brookstreet Lounge members to access their centre-ice club seats at ice level through a new exclusive entrance to the seating bowl from directly beneath the 100-level. This will also provide fans and members with a convenient new option - returning to the Brookstreet Lounge to relax at the bar between periods.

"Our game experience is of great importance to our team and our fans and this partnership with the Brookstreet Hotel combines the best of two worlds - pairing Brookstreet's renowned commitment to exemplary customer experience and fine dining, with an exclusive and unique hockey experience," said Ottawa Senators senior vice-president corporate strategy and sales, Mark Bonneau. We think our fans are going to love both the new and easy access and the distinctive culinary options."

Known for its upscale dining in a casual atmosphere, the Brookstreet Lounge includes chef-attended action stations featuring carved AAA beef sirloin, creative salads and mouthwatering dessert tables. The culinary teams from the Brookstreet and Canadian Tire Centre will be collaborating to offer members signature dishes from the Brookstreet line-up including hot smoked salmon, split-roasted porchetta and chili-dusted shrimp.

"I'm excited about the enhanced partnership and look forward to sharing the 'Brookstreet experience' with the Senator's fans," said Nyle Kelly, general manager of Brookstreet Hotel and The Marshes Golf Club.

Throughout the season, Brookstreet Lounge members will experience unique programming on game nights including live music, guest chefs, wine features, beer tastings, visits by Ottawa Senators alumni and much more.

In addition to the elements at Canadian Tire Centre, this integrated partnership will see the Brookstreet and the Senators collaborate on exclusive events for Brookstreet Lounge members at the Brookstreet Hotel.
