Fairmont Château Laurier, Ottawa

I was in Ottawa to watch my grandson play hockey. So glad I chose to stay at Chateau Laurier. Hotel is really gorgeous in every respect. everywhere i looked it was beautifully designed and so well appointed and maintained.nmy room was certainly large enough for me. bedding was great. linens were great. everything functioned well.nall of the personnel were more than friendly and accommodating.nbreakfast was terrific.nmy only complaint is valet parking on Sunday morning was frustratingly slow in retrieving my car.nall in all, it was really an unbelievable value. if you could find a property that good in NYC or San Fran, it would likely cost 3x what I paid - likely more .nif i happen to be in Ottawa again, i would certainly choose the Chateau Laurier. And i would certainly recommend it to family and friends.

Amazing staff. Beautiful lobby. The rooms need modernization. There was only one USB charging port in our room, which wasn’t working. The hinges of the bathroom door were fully rusted and the door was tilted. They still offer old school pay per movies, as opposed to movie streaming apps, like some other hotels. Also, I found the breakfast buffet lacked variety, for the fee they charge per person.

Wonderful hotel! Super clean rooms, and the staff is very friendly! We stayed 4 nights, from Dec 25-30, and the Christmas decor was gorgeous. I was very impressed with how clean and well maintained the hotel was, given that it is a historic building. I've stayed at hotels that were 2x the price that were not as well maintained. We had a lovely holiday afternoon tea, felt a little under dressed in our jeans and sweaters, but we were treated very kindly. It was below freezing the entire time, and we walked everywhere - so we packed for warmth, not style. FYI, it's was super easy to get almost anywhere on foot from the hotel. Lots of great museums, restaurants, and shops!

A beautiful hotel smack in the middle of the city that makes any vacation special. Beware.it is a busy hotel with frequent conferences and youth sports teams, but I never heard noise in the hallway. It's very convenient to the national arts center, museums, and in the winter if it's cold enough, skating on the canal.nThe most economical room is still a decent size, the only disappointing thing was the towels, which seemed more fitting for a budget hotel.nThe food in the hotel restaurant is excellent with a great variety of cocktails.nBe sure to check out the pool, it is an art deco masterpiece.

Beautiful place and excellence top to bottom. Staff were so friendly, food was healthy, tasty and well presented and room was clean and gorgeous. Lucky to have been able to stay. And to top off my stay I rented some skates just moments away on the Rideau and skated while watching the sunset.
