Part of the hotel's reputation derives from the important part it's played in the history of Canada's capital city. For 70 years, Fairmont Chateau Laurier served as headquarters for CBC radio broadcasts. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama are among the hotel's most famous guests.
Modeled after a French chateau, the exterior of the hotel is crafted from limestone. White Italian marble and sparkling crystal chandeliers enhance the grandeur of the lobby.
An Art Deco swimming pool, first-class restaurant and tea room, photographic treasures, many event spaces, and comfortable rooms and suites make Fairmont Chateau Laurier equally appealing for a weekend visit or a wedding.
