Overview

Fairmont Chateau Laurier offers historic grandeur in the heart of downtown Ottawa, just steps from Canada’s Parliament Buildings and the UNESCO-designated Rideau Canal. Opened in 1912, its iconic façade and antique interiors create a refined, Old-World atmosphere reminiscent of a French château. The hotel’s legacy of hosting notable figures underscores its prestige, while modern comforts — including an indoor pool, fitness centre and standout dining — make it a great choice for those seeking luxury and downtown access.

The hotel is located on the corner of Rideau Street across from Parliament Hill. In summer, you can stroll along the canal pathways, explore ByWard Market for food and souvenirs, or visit the National Gallery of Canada, all within half a mile of the hotel. In winter, skate on the Rideau Canal rink or enjoy snow activities in Gatineau Park around four miles away. Ottawa International Airport can be reached in nine miles.

Rooms and suites are adorned in a classic timeless style. Comforts include plush bedding, a workspace, coffee and tea making facilities, bathrobes and luxury Le Labo toiletries. Many rooms also include views of the Parliament Buildings and the Rideau Canal. To upgrade your stay, Fairmont Gold rooms include access to a private lounge with complimentary breakfast and afternoon canapes.
