I stayed at the Château Laurier while in Ottawa for a Rolex appointment inside their jewlery store in the hotel, and at first I was very impressed. The property is beautiful, and during my stay I spent thousands of dollars, including meals at their restaurant.

First time staying at this location and will likely be the last. Service was good and everyone was friendly. Location is nice but parking is an issue. The value for the cost is 0/5 ⭐️ The room was musty, no mini fridge, no bathroom fan and the ice machine on our floor was out of service for two days. I’m sure there are many other nicer hotels for half the cost.

We get with an old hotel there is only so much you can do with roo...

The lobby is beautiful. This is a gran...

The hotel itself is full of history, which makes the experience feel unique. My room was clean but on the smaller side, which reflects the older, historic style of the hotel. Some roo...
