Disappointing

On the positive side you can't beat the location. Also, the staff were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Our room was light, bright and large and decorated in accordance with the historical building. However, sadly the negatives outweighed the positives. We are Accor members and familiar with the luxury of Fairmont hotels. This one did not meet our expectations. Although the room was large… On the positive side you can't beat the location.

Stunning building and clean rooms. However, acknowledging this is a heritage building, there are too many inconveniences such as no usb plugs and all sockets on the floor and not by beds. Shower difficult to use. Rooms small for the money and very dated. Breakfast service buffet is oddly laid out and again stone cold plates for hot food. Why can’t hotels provide hot plates for hot food. It’s basic… Stunning building and clean rooms.

The Fairmont Chateau Laurier is a luxury hotel built in 1912, across the street from the Grand Trunk Railway Station. It is near Parliament Hill and the Byward Market. When viewed from across the street, it looks like a castle.When I checked in, I was upgraded from a classic queen room to a deluxe king room because I am a silver member of their loyalty programme. My room was probably two rooms in… The Fairmont Chateau Laurier is a luxury hotel built in 1912, across the street from the Grand Trunk Railway Station.

Not good enough!

Not worth it! Rooms are very dated & bathrooms especially small. Valet parking is chaotic & expensive. Had to line up for 10 minutes for breakfast, even with a reservation. Breakfast servers were great however buffet breakfast was cold. Fire alarm went off and on 3 times during the night until an announcement on speakers explained there was no issue. Thanks for a great nights sleep, It is… Not worth it! Rooms are very dated & bathrooms especially small. Valet parking is chaotic & expensive.
