Overview
Welcoming visitors since June 1912, the Fairmont Château Laurier was built to resemble a French Renaissance castle, with a copper roof dotted with limestone and granite spires. Recent visitors admire this Fairmont's stunning architecture, as well as its location in downtown Ottawa (right next to Parliament Hill). However, some guests describe the rooms as somewhat small and bare, which doesn't harmonize with the overall elegance of the hotel. Each of the Fairmont's guest rooms and suites comes appointed in creamy neutral tones and includes a Nespresso coffee maker, refreshment area and Wi-Fi access (for a fee). For those who prefer to dine in, the Fairmont houses the upscale Wilfrid's Restaurant, and La Terrasse for a more casual, outdoor meal. For a late-night cocktail or afternoon tea, venture to Zoé's Lounge, which offers a refined atmosphere and excellent service that's well worth the splurge, according to recent visitors. And remember, members of the Le Club AccorHotels program can earn frequent flier miles for choosing to bed down here.
