    As the centerpiece of Canada's capital, Fairmont Château Laurier rests majestically between Parliament Hill, the Ottawa River, The Congress Centre and the open-air Byward Market. A historical monument in itself, the hotel enchants guests with its charm and stateliness. Brass stair rails, marble floors, high ceilings, antiques resting elegantly in rooms and foyers and wool carpets round out the hotel's regal beauty.

    That is the promo version and it is all accurate. This is a great building however I didn't stay here, out of my budget ;-(

    This is the most luxurious hotel in Ottawa, downtown. It is located at the corner of Wellington street and Rideau street. besides the parliament buildings.
    Fairmont Chateau Laurier was originally opened by its namesake, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on June 12, 1912 and has changed Ottawa forever.

    You can spot this beautiful building from a distance because it really looks like a castle. This place is not cheap and many politicians, diplomats and important business people stay in the Chateau Laurier.

    This beautiful hotel has 429 guest rooms, including 31 luxury suites. The Fairmont Gold room is very special in a unique way. it is basically a small hotel inside a hotel. I know it sound weird but that's how it is. Guest staying at this section enjoy extra treatment. Living really like a king.

    The Chateau Laurier reflects the confidence, dignity and style of Canada's capital city. Reminiscent of a French castle, this great Ottawa landmark serves as a home-away-from-home to both politicians and visiting politicians. Perfectly situated at the heart of the capital, all of Ottawa is within easy walking distance from Chateau Laurier's storied doors.

    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.

    In 1907 Charles Melville Hays, General Manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway of Canada took the initiative to build the hotel. The Railroads needed big hotels near their prestigues station and the Chateau Laurier was to become one.

    It opened in April 26 1912, but Hays could not witness its opening because he travelled with the Titanic and died at April 14 1912.
    The official opening was postponed to June 12, 1912 and was done by Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

    The hotel is a real monument build in French Renaissance style using granite blocks for the base, buff Indiana limestone for the walls and copper for the roof. Inside you find brass stair rails, marble floors, high ceilings and the furniture makes you feel walking in a big antique shop.

    Although you are surrounded by all this charming history, the hotel offers modern service and quality. I have the best memories of the nice breakfasts.

    2009: Update: The rooms have wide flatscreen TV's now and high speed Internet (via Ethernet cable). The Breakfast room is completely remodelled and looks far better than before.

    Basement Art-Deco Pool, next to the Parliament Buildings, ByWard area and the canal.

    Personal preferences can be entered at the Fairmont website, once you become a (free) member.

    Prices: Corporate from CA$ 220,00 (+CA$ 15.00 for parking; + ~CA$ 25,00 for breakfast; local calls CA$ 1,07).

    The best hotel in Ottawa is the Chateau Laurier, run by Fairmont. The hotel is situated in the heart of downtown, directly on Rideau Canal. If you are on a student budget, there are several hostels within a few blocks (check out the Byward Market).
    My guess is around $200 CAD per night

    Old architecture, friendly people, close to everything!

    I love looking at this building- it looks like a castle! It's located right by the Parliament buildings and you have a great view of the Ottawa River, Hull, Parliament and much more. It's in the heart of downtown with easy access to the Rideau Center, Byward Market, and many museums.
