The Chateau Laurier; one of Fairmont's true gems is located right on Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa, steps away from the Byward Market and the shops on the Sparks Street Mall. The staff is superior; they treated me like royalty, and could not have done more to make my stay fantastic. This is the only Ottawa hotel I will ever consider staying in. The hotel is so beautiful, with so much history. I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Ottawa.

It was just ok. My son and I were going on a trip just the two of us. I thought I would treat us to staying at the chateau Laurier and my young son was so excited to stay in a ‘castle’. The lobby is stunning and the restaurants available are great. However the service was sub par. The cleaning staff was opening our door to clean at 8 am and kept coming back every 10-15 minutes. There was never enough time to tell them to stop coming back and I didn’t have the sign to put on the door to say no house cleaning. I phoned the concierge a few times with never an answer. There was no sort of ‘onboarding’ when I checked in - this resulted in my son and I wandering around the lobby looking for the pool. There was always lines at the front desk and concierge - so we never bothered to even try and get help. All in all - it was just ok. Not sure how they can get away charging what they do with the service they provide.
