The Canadian travel experience is not complete without staying in one of the original hotels built by the national railways in the early 20th century. Most major Canadian cities have one and most are now in the Fairmont chain. The Chateau Laurier is one of the grandest. (see pictures) The staff are friendly and attentive. The lobby is welcoming and... More

I have stayed in CL 3 times and each time it was an awesome fulfilling experience. Amazing Location right at the Rideau Canal , next to the Parliament on one side and the Downtown on the other, its just a perfect setup. The staff is very hospitable and was prompt. The rooms are done up well except the TVs, which... More

Hotel is in an excellent location, close to most of the attractions. The room we had was quite small & there was an upgrade of the hotel taking place at the time which meant with scaffolding etc we didn't have much of a view.

I had booked 2 weeks in advance and got a great deal! There was a protest going on infront of their hotel so I had trouble finding the place. I called to get directions and the hotel redirected me to 3 people then was on hold for 10 minutes!? Some staff were incredible friendly some were not so much. (I... More

The Fairmont Chauteau Laurier is practically another attraction in Ottawa. Almost anyone who visits Ottawa will stop in here to check it out and say that they had been there. It's located perfectly in downtown with the Rideau Canal right next to it. The Parliament is a stones throw away and so is the By Ward Market. Nice architecture, ambiance,... More

Stayed at the Chateau Laurier for a weekend in Ottawa with family. My room was on the 6th floor facing Parliament. The view was nice, and the bed was comfortable. The public areas of the hotel are immaculately maintained, and the historic character if this hotel is probably its best assets. The service is friendly and very professional. The front... More

The Fairmont Chateau Laurier is an institution and a great place to stay when you are in Ottawa. Very friendly service, high end luxury, amazing culinary team (dinner and breakfast in Wilfried's Restaurant were amazing) and a fantastic location. Going for a run along side the Ottawa River is just great... Make sure you end up in one of the... More

Historic Grand Hotel right in downtown next to Parliament buildings if your first time to the Canadian capital great place to stay tours right outside your door and/or walk for most- Rideau canal and Ottawa River literally at the sight too.

I normally visit Ottawa 2 or 3 times per year o business and always stay at the Chateau. Although the prices both for the room and in Zoe's lounge are a bit steep, the service is excellent and I love the hotel grandness. It's location to the By Ward market area is perfect for evening relaxation with a multitude of... More
