Try the high tea at Zoe 's lounge . Enjoy the pianist and take a breather. A bit pricey (as is most things in the hotel ) but it's an experience worth taking away if you are visiting in town .

Amber Lynn

Scenic view on the outdoor patio , with unbelievable Martini's , cocktails (honeydew melon for example) gluten free chocolate cake and the staff is incredible. Best view to watch the sun go down.

Ilya Frank

Very nice place! As a matter of fact when I was checking-in I asked for a free upgrade just for the hell of it! And, surprisingly, I got it! Also - big plus - everybody speak English there! Loved it!

Sabrina S.

Biggest variety of brunch buffet options in Ottawa, including desserts , cheese , breakfast and lunch choices, salads , soups , omelette bar and others.

Great location and nice hotel - everything is walkable. Be prepared to pay for anything extra, no complimentary water in the room, pay 9$ (!!!) per bottle. Internet had daily fee. Parking expensive .

Dee H

Good clean room , really nice Canadian toiletries. Staff were none existent but for a cleaner who was super friendly . No parking available, no free wifi (unheard of these days). Needs updating for sure

PARKING: The parking lot closes at 2am and they lift the gate. This is a great place to park if ur in the market late nights . Free parking after 2am.

High Tea is a must! Good teas and even better food. The scones were great.

Fernando Ramírez

One of the best hotels I've ever been. The pool is amazing.

Skip the breakfast buffet at $26 per person and order breakfast a la carte. A no brainer, but I saw a goof grab a coffee and croissant from the buffet . $26 for a coffee and croissant ? Dork.

High Tea im Chateau Laurier ist ein Muss! Wir haben Canadian Tea gewählt und waren begeistert. Als Tee habe ich Ice Wine Tee probiert, der intensiv nach Eiswein schmeckte.
