It was a life long dream as native Ottawatonian that was raised in Toronto and spent every summer in Ottawa .
Always looking at the Hotel as I walked on Parliament Hill and wondering if I ever will get a chance to spend a night there.
This past October I turned 63 and as I was born in Ottawa in 1963, I felt that the Chateau was the place to spend my Champagne Birthday at.
All the staff have very proper Hospitality skills and the food at the restaurants and cafe is very high quality.
The CN and CP hotels were known for this but not all are able to keep the quality alive.
Chateau Laurier does and as I am in the Hospitality industry and also teach Hospitality at a college, I now have yet another story for the students on my person experiences.
It really warmed my heart to be treated to kindly in my home town.
Thank you.

It is a beautiful historic hotel with great service . Room was comfortable- comfortable bed and pillows ( which I loved and is important to me ) but a few issues 1) the charging plug did not work ( for charging my phone ) 2) the drain in the shower was very slow - needs to be unplugged 3) glass shelf above the sink /counter was not level so items I placed on it slid off - one item unfortunately broke when it hit the beautiful tiled floor !

From check in and Valet to dining to swimming to check out - 100% satisfaction. The building itself is glorious but when you're wandering around looking at the history and beauty and a staff member offers to unlock the ballrooms so that you can have a better look......what can I say? We will only stay at the Chateau when we visit Ottawa. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

"Accessiblity" issues. Door to room was heavy. Carpeting in the hallways and in the room were thick pile which made pushing my wheelchair difficult. My room was on the far side from the elevators. By the first night, I felt I had done a marathon. The shower was "step-in" am not "roll-in". Had to sponge bathe. Bathroom mirror was too high on the wall. Fortunately, there was a full length mirror just outside. Couldn't reach the blinds to open/close them due to the desk in front of the window.
On the plus side, due to my credit card being declined (my fault), the staff bent over backwards to get me an affordable room. Downgraded, yes, but still beyond expectations. The room was spacious. Bed was very comfortable. Lowered closet railings. Lovely old building with gorgeous architecture.
Dear Guest
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We appreciate your positive remarks about our staff's efforts to assist you and your appreciation of our hotel's architecture and accommodations.

I booked at the Fairmont as it is always a first class experience when I stay there. The attn to detail is usually first class. I didn't have that experience this time. When I hung my clothes in the closet, I noticed that the cleaning hadn't been done there in months, probably, because there was a thick layer of dust on the rack. I wiped it off before putting my clothes in. In the bathroom, it smelled a bit old, like towels were old - that kind of moldy smell. I texted the team to alert them (I was sent a text message upon arrival to communicate if I needed anything). I wasn't sure if anything was done because I had cleaned the dust already and sent them a photo of the results. For $500+ per night, this is disappointing.

This was our first time staying at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. This building is full of history. During our walk around, lots of historical pictures from the building of the hotel to the most updated information.
Our room was spacious with 2 double beds, larger bathroom and area to do work. We had 2 windows that looked to Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal. There were lots of amenities in the room that added to comfort.
As I mentioned, the history of the hotel is an experience for all. Swimming in a pool made in 1929 that still has the same walls, sitting area, viewing area and even the lamps is something that you don't see everywhere. The dining room was classic with large windows, comfortable eating areas and a relaxing lounge area.
This hotel was a great experience and hope we have the chance to stay there again in the future.

I had a lovely stay overall but have some feedback about areas for improvement :
1. please check conditioner and shampoo supply in rooms and have it always filled at least 50%, as halfway through my shower I found out no conditioner (level too low to pump out from bottle fixed to the wall).
2. I also had some issues at time of checkout, with poor communication from the front desk, waited on the line for a long time, was told would be called back by the manager to inform me if late checkout would be possible or if any option for late checkout for a fee, never heard back, called back in the morning, was told no availability for late checkout (which was okay) but then I was instructed to leave my luggage in the room and the concierge would store it, and that the hotel would check me out of the system. I later received a message from the hotel saying my luggage is in the room and asking why? Once clarified they said they will have it stored. I arrived later to pickup my luggage from concierge, they could not find it and I didn't have any number/tag for it (no one mentioned I needed this when instructed in the morning). My luggage was mislocated until later found somewhere with a different staff at a different desk.
