1 Rideau Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 8S7
4-star
Ottawa's grand château-style landmark sits right in the heart of downtown, poised between ByWard Market and the Rideau Canal locks. If you're drawn to a stay with real presence and history, you'll find turret-topped architecture and views over Parliament Hill and the canal. It’s a memorable base for exploring the capital, whether you're here for a night, a romantic city break, or building it into a longer Ontario itinerary.

The hotel sits right on the edge of ByWard Market, Ottawa's historic market quarter, with its stalls, shops, restaurants and nightlife just a short walk away. The Rideau Canal locks and Parliament Hill are close enough to reach on foot, and the National Gallery of Canada, the National Arts Centre and the Shaw Centre are all a few minutes' stroll further on, with Major's Hill Park right alongside the canal. Sussex Drive runs along the far bank, linking through to some of the city's other national institutions. It's roughly a 20-minute drive from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, making the Château Laurier a straightforward base whether you're arriving by air or joining a wider rail or self-drive itinerary through Ontario.
In our experience, few Ottawa hotels combine history and location quite like the Château Laurier. Its central position makes it a genuinely easy base for sightseeing on foot, and Fairmont Gold is worth considering if you'd like a quieter floor and lounge access to retreat to after a day exploring the capital. If you're celebrating a special occasion, it's worth asking about a Fairmont Gold upgrade when you book, as the view and lounge access are often worth the difference. The pool and spa are a welcome touch after a long flight too. We often recommend it as the opening or closing stay for Ottawa holidays that continue by rail or self-drive through Ontario and beyond.
