Ontario, defined by movement, anchored by Fairmont

Ontario is a land of lakes, rivers, and vibrant cityscapes shaped by culture and national life. Toronto hums with global energy, while Ottawa reflects the heritage of a capital. At the heart of both cities, Fairmont hotels capture this spirit. Fairmont Royal York faces Union Station in Toronto, and Fairmont Château Laurier overlooks Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal in Ottawa. These iconic hotels welcome guests to spaces where celebration, tradition, and the city’s energy come together.
