Wonderful tour!

Guide Heather was wonderful! Even though the tour was only 75 minutes, it seemed much longer. Seeing the ballrooms was amazing.

Discover the history of the Château Laurier

Published on Sep, 2024

This is a new tour and it is very interesting because of the historical significance of the Château Laurier. This very impressive hotel was built in the early 1900s to accommodate train travellers to Ottawa.

Great Tour, Great Guide

The tour was an exceptional experience. Our guide imparted her wealth of information about the hotel clearly and enthusiastically. She made me appreciative of the history of the city and the hotel's contributions to it.
