A lovely stay every single time! We love how close it is to everything, how cozy and beautiful the hotel and how welcoming and kind the staff is! It's unfortunate that there are some fairly sketchy individuals around the hotel (but mostly towards byward market a couple of blocks over) but the hotel itself felt safe!

Fairmont Chateau Laurier

This historic hotel has a rich history and excellent location. Zoe’s restaurant and bar serves good food and drinks and services were excellent. The housekeeping staff were friendly and professional. However the services at checkout, valet parking and bellman service were terrible. It was disorganized and chaotic and took long time.
Brad, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Been on the road a few days so it was great to get to a better hotel. The room, was fine, but absolutely no view. Had breakfast the next morning and it was outstanding! Perfectly cooked eggs benny, and my husband really enjoyed the buffet.
