Fairmont Château Laurier is a magnificent limestone building which reminiscent of a French château. It is situated in downtown Ottawa right across Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal. The hotel was commissioned by Grand Trunk Railway, the same company that built the Royal York Hotel in Toronto and Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City.

The Fairmont Château Laurier Hotel was built between 1909 - 1912 across the street from the Ottawa's Union Station (now the Government Conference Centre).

In 1999, the hotel was renamed to Fairmont Château Laurier after Canadian Pacific Hotels & Resorts acquired Fairmont Hotels.
