The Fairmont Château Laurier is a 660,000-square-foot hotel with 429 guest rooms designed in the French Gothic Châteauesque style to complement the adjacent Parliament buildings.

The hotel is above the Rideau Canal locks and overlooks the Ottawa River. The main dining room (now the Laurier Room) overlooks Major's Hill Park. The reception rooms include the Wedgewood-blue Adam Room; the Laurier Room defined by Roman columns; the Empire-style ballroom and the Drawing Room featuring cream and gold plaster ornament.

The hotel opened on 12 June 1912 and was designated a national historic site in 1981.
