Good match for:

  • Culture Buffs: Steps from Parliament Hill, National Gallery, and ByWard Market for museums and history.
  • Wellness Seekers: Complimentary indoor pool and fitness centre perfect for post-sightseeing relaxation.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Budget Travelers: Average rates start around US$390 per night, above typical solo budgets.
  • Nightlife Enthusiasts: Downtown core quiet after market hours; bars and clubs require a short taxi ride.

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. In 2 days Unfortunately, the way I was treated afterwards completely ruined my opinion. Because my credit card was being replaced we did a...

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.

You lost us when we arrived at 815pm and told valet is full. Have never stayed at a hotel where valet is full. No one helped us with luggage. Took 30 minutes to park and get back to hotel. Room 366 - room is small and bathroom is tiny. No water pressure in shower. Morning breakfast in gold level excellent. Hotel - great location. We get with an old hotel there is only so much you can do with roo...

We are currently staying at the hotel for three nights. The experience so far has been disappointing. Parking is only by valet but the entrance is much too small. Cars were lined up blocking traffic waiting to get in. We were in line for probably half an hour. When it came to getting our car back, it was an hour wait. For $60 a night they need to do better. The lobby is beautiful. This is a gran...

I stayed at the Fairmont Château Laurier for two nights and really enjoyed my time there. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Ottawa, walking distance to Parliament Hill, museums, and lots of shopping. 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...
