Rideau Hall is, since 1867, the official residence of the Governor General of Canada, as well as that of the Canadian monarch when he or she is in the city where the hall is located, Ottawa.[1][2][3][4][5] It stands on a 0.36 km2 (88 acre) estate at 1 Sussex Drive, with the main building consisting of 170 rooms across 9,500 m2 (102,000 ft2),[6] and 24 outbuildings around the grounds. While the equivalent building in many countries has a prominent, central place in the national capital (Buckingham Palace, the White House, and the Royal Palace of the Netherlands, for example), Rideau Hall's site is relatively unobtrusive within Ottawa, giving it more the character of a private home.[2]

Most of Rideau Hall is used for state affairs, only 500 m2 (5,400 ft2) of its area being dedicated to private living quarters,[7] while additional areas serve as the offices of the Canadian Heraldic Authority, and the principal workplace of the Governor General and his or her staff – this bureaucratic branch being sometimes formally referred to as Government House. Officially received at the palace are foreign heads of state, both incoming and outgoing ambassadors and high commissioners to Canada, and Canadian Crown ministers for audiences with either the viceroy or the sovereign, should the latter be in residence. Rideau Hall is likewise the location of many Canadian award presentations and investitures, where prime ministers and other members of Cabinet are sworn in, and where federal writs of election are dropped, amongst other ceremonial and constitutional functions. The house is open to the public for guided tours throughout the year; approximately 200,000 visitors tour Rideau Hall annually.[8]
