Fairmont Château Laurier

This castle-like hotel offers stunning views of the Rideau Canal and Parliament Hill, within steps of the CF Rideau Centre and the vibrant ByWard Market area.

Ever since it opened in 1912, the Fairmont Château Laurier hotel—with its limestone turrets reminiscent of a French castle and its green-tinged copper roofs—has been a downtown Ottawa icon. Everyone is welcome to explore the National Historic Site's public spaces to see statues, paintings and photos of famous visitors and momentous occasions.

At this AAA/CAA four-diamond property, you can linger over breakfast or brunch at Wilfrid's restaurant, or sip craft cocktails or enjoy lunch, afternoon tea or dinner in the conservatory-like Zoe's. In summer, head to the open-air La Terrasse patio restaurant to watch the sun go down behind the Parliament Buildings and the Ottawa River. To work off all that fine food, go for a swim in the unique indoor Art Deco pool.

Fairmont Chateau Laurier offers an exceptional setting for business events planners. Featuring over 36,000 square feet of meting space across 16 venues, Ottawa’s historic castle is ideal for business meetings, conferences, and gatherings of 50 to 400 guests.
 
Combining a prime downtown location, elegant event spaces, and dedicated on-site support, the hotel delivers memorable experiences for planners and delegates alike.
