Executive Suite, Fairmont Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Eastern Canada

Fairmont Chateau Laurier

City
Canada

Consistently topping the list of Ottawa’s finest luxury hotels, Fairmont Chateau Laurier is a magnificent limestone chateau-style property that boasts impressive turrets and masonry.

Offering 429 rooms that have undergone a multi-million-pound renovation, accommodations range from cosy quarters to opulent suites with sweeping city views. Those guests seeking absolute exclusivity and the ultimate in luxury might even opt for a Fairmont Gold suite, located on a private floor and described as a ‘hotel within a hotel’. A stately property that reflects the style and dynamism of the thriving city, this luxurious downtown hotel is enchanting and charming.

Why we like Fairmont Chateau Laurier

Attentive staff and luxurious amenities make this the type of hotel that you never want to leave, but when you can tear yourself away it is just a short stroll away from the Parliament Building’s evening light show and the iconic outdoor ice skating rink in front of the City Hall.
