“The only place to stay in the Nation's capital.”

The Chateau Laurier is a magnificent old world hotel in the heart of the action in Ottawa. The room, food and staff were first rate. Only 2 blocks to both the Byward Market district and the National Arts Centre with a beautiful view of Parliament, the canal and the city of Ottawa. Can't wait to visit again and again. Have stayed in several Ottawa hotels, this is by far the best.
