Reflecting the confidence, dignity and style of Ottawa, Fairmont Château Laurier stands as a testament to this dynamic, thriving city. Located in the heart of Canada's capital next door to the Parliament Buildings, the landmark Fairmont Château Laurier is a magnificent limestone edifice with turrets and masonry reminiscent of a French château.

Summer or winter, we make healthy activities simple. The Rideau Canal offers miles of bicycle and inline skating paths and the world's longest skating rink just outside our door.
