Description

For sheer history and elegance you can't beat the Chateau Laurier. This landmark Gothic-style hotel, located in the shadow of the Parliament Buildings, is within walking distance of the Rideau Canal and the Byward Market. It first opened in 1912; since then, it has played host to heads of state and has served as the setting for two movies. Each room is impeccable, with in-room pay-per-view movies, air conditioning and a choice of views upon request.
