  • Dorota★★★★★3 weeks ago

    I had an excellent stay at the Fairmont Château Laurier. From the moment I arrived, the experience was perfect. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Our room was luxurious, clean, and we had a gorgeous view overlooking Parliament. The hotel staff on every occasion were welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. Thank you for making my time in Ottawa so incredible. I can’t wait to come back!

  • Bill Knight★★★★★3 months ago

    We have been here for four days and have found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. That said, the hotel itself feels quite dated. For example, the gym still has carpet, which makes it feel unclean and not well suited for a fitness space. We typically choose to stay here because of our Accor status. Unfortunately, a recent housekeeping experience has made it difficult for us to consider returning. Up until Sunday, our room was cleaned thoroughly and met expectations. However, on Sunday several basic items were not replaced — including towels, coffee cups and glasses, stir sticks, cream, coffee, and other standard amenities. While I understand that oversights can happen, this felt like a lack of care and attention to detail. It was particularly disappointing given that a tip had been left. Experiences like this leave a negative impression, not only for guests but also for the many staff members who are working hard to provide good service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve consistency in housekeeping standards moving

    I loved my stay. The room was spacious, had a wonderful view of Parliament Hill, and all the amenities were accessible. Breakfast at Zoe's was great one morning. The chic and style of the hotel is classy but everything is fairly modern and made staying for 3 nights a breeze. The location is central to a lot and made it easy for Uber to pick us up and for us to walk to nearby spots. All hotel staff were friendly, and accomodating. The art gallery and cafe on the main level are a cool addition. The reason that I gave 4 total stars over 5, is because on TWO seperate occasions, Valet came and asked me what kind of car I had, and for me to describe my keys. Both times they put my car keys on the wrong valet label number hook, and I had to go into the office and find it. To me this is unacceptable, because on TWO seperate occasions I thought my car was missing or not taken care of. This should be a no brainier. This didn't happen at any of the other Fairmont hotels we stayed at, and happened two seperate times here.

  • Veronica Becker-Pepin★★★★★3 weeks ago

    We came for a 'date night' over the May long weekend. The valet staff and the concierge were both very friendly and personable. The hotel seems a bit dated but then again, it is a 'old vintage luxury hotel'. Robes in the room were very nice. Though the valet staff were incredibly nice, the parking rate is a little much :( otherwise, great stay!

  • James Gabriel★★★★★a month ago

    We recently stayed at the Fairmont Château Laurier for a family holiday. The location is excellent and very convenient for exploring Ottawa, although the area around the hotel can get quite busy with traffic. The building itself is beautiful, historic, and full of character. However, both the rooms and many parts of the hotel feel somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization to better meet current traveler expectations. We also found the rooms lacked natural light. One disappointment was that the pool was out of service during our stay, as this was one of the main reasons we chose the hotel for our family trip. We also experienced issues with the air conditioning. To the hotel’s credit, someone came almost immediately to address it, but the unit remained very loud afterward. That said, the food and overall service were very good throughout our stay. The hotel certainly has charm and an iconic presence, but considering the price point, we expected a more updated overall experience and a broader range of amenities.
