Fairmont Chateau Laurier

As one of Canada’s most recognizable landmarks, Fairmont Château Laurier offers an experience few can rival. Stationed in the center of downtown Ottawa, this recently renovated hotel was built to resemble a Renaissance-era French château. Though located in Canada, the mastermind behind the hotel’s inception was an American named Charles Melville Hays. Unfortunately, Hays perished in the sinking of the Titanic just weeks before his dream hotel opened in June 1912. Explore the rich community where the Fairmont Château Laurier calls home.
