Fairmont Chateau Laurier: Old World Luxury   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • This hotel is one of the old Victorian heaps built by rail stations. Built in 1912 in the style of a 16th century French Château, it's copper roof and turrets, high ceilings and plaster work make you feel like you're staying in a palace. You can get good deals here and there are single rooms right up to the exclusive Gold Suite on a private floor. All the modern conveniences like high speed modems, and a fitness center on site as well. Pamper yourself, treat yourself.

    Its been a while since I stayed there. Or eaten in any of the restaurants, or even been in the lobby. Stayed there once with my husband, and that was no thrill - he was as sick as a dog the whole time. Just remember that the room was big, and old, and things seemed to be rather standard for a hotel. We had got a discounted rate because of a coupon, so that made it more reasonable for us.

    The looks of the hotel - classic old railway owned hotels., now owned by the Fairmont Hotel Chain. Built about the early 1900s. Now has a gallery of Yousef Karsh's photographs, as this was where Karsh had his studio for many years, until his death.

    I did not stay at this famous hotel but would recommend if you want to stay in a famous and luxury hotel, then this is the place for you. The architecture is very impressive, the location is very good (major attractions are all nearby) and of course the service and rooms are reputed to be very good as well. Many famous people and heads of countries have stayed here when they visited Ottawa, so this hotel is the choice if you have money to spare.

  • Satisfaction:
  • This hotel is AWESOME! I just got back today (7/4/07) from my trip. This hotel is the best hotel I have ever stayed at and I consider myself fortunate enough to have stayed at several good ones. We were there over Canada Day. There is no better location for Canada Day or any other day. Every time we would cross from Byward Market over to Parliament area or from Rideau Center Mall or War Memorial Plaza to Major Hill Park, we would pass the hotel. As such, we had the opportunity to go up and free our hands, get a drink, use the bathroom, just rest, grab something we forgot, etc. It was great. This is one of the best locations of any hotel anywhere. Every staff member we encountered treated us like we personally had the power to fire them if they didn't pamper us. The room was spacious and gorgeous. Our view was the Byward Market. The shower was spacious, had a strong flow, and never ran out of hot water even though there were 3 females with me. As President's Club members (which is free to join) we got free local calls and in-room internet usage. The beds were plenty comfy and, because the rooms are so big, we added a complimentary roll-away bed for further sleeping room. The hotel is beautifully appointed and wonderfully designed and built. We got a good deal but would have paid more and that is more true now after having stayed there. Sorry I can't shed any light on the restaurants as we ate around town and not in-house but I can only assume that what others have said regarding how good they are is true. They certainly looked nice but they also looked like you would need to be prepared to drop quite a bit of money to eat there. Two cabs hang out just outside the front doors at all times and it was within an easy walk (through the Rideau Center Mall across the street) to the OCTranspo bus stop which I did take once and it was a breeze. The whole thing was a wonderful experience.

    Location, castle-like design

    Fairmont Chateau Laurier: Right in the center of things...   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Satisfaction:
  • Before I moved to Ottawa, I was visiting to attend a friend's wedding and stayed at this hotel. My only complaint was that the walls were a little thin, or the people in the room next to mine were louder than normal.

    Construction started on this hotel in 1907 and was completed in 1912. The hotel had scheduled it's grand opening on April 26, 1912. Unfortunately the man who commissioned it, Charles Melville Hays, died when the Titanic sank. The hotel was finally opened on June 12, 1912, by it's namesake, Sir Wilfred Laurier.

  • Satisfaction:
  • Delightful, relaxing, classy but not stuffy. While the Fairmount folks have modernized some, which I may moan about, there is still plenty of history and old fashioned warm respectful service. My husband and I started staying in the Chateau Lauier in the 1990s and hope to continue for years and years to come.

    CL intials on all the room door handles, and in the stair railings. Edwarian touches in lobbies, hallways.

    The Chateau Laurier is one of the finest accomodations in Ottawa. It's location is outstanding. Right next to Rideau Canal, the Parliment buildings, and the Byward Market, the Chateau Laurier is where you want to be if you want to be in the heart of Ottawa. The service is top notch, the decor is elegant and wonderful facilities. There's a level of excitement that accompanies your stay at this property.

    The location is probably the best feature. However I did enjoy the fitness room and swimming pool. There's also a bike rental place onsite. I highly recommend exploring the city with a bike if the weather permits. Here's some info: # Rentals can be made by the hour or up to 30 days # Average price for a full day's rental is $20.00 # For more information, please call RentABike at (613) 241-4140 The restaurants are good on property, even for the pickiest of pallets. However, I recommend going down to the Byward Market, a few blocks away and trying the variety of restaurants and eateries available.

  • Staying here was a bit of an indulgence, but it was just for one night, and we had wanted to stay in at least one of the landmark Fairmont hotels. At least our CAD209/night room rate included breakfast, which was very good, although the room we got was pretty standard.

    Landmark building. Unparallelled location.
