There is no disputing the cham and beauty of the building itself. The rooms, however, are tired and dated and look in need of maintenance. When paying $400 per night - there is a level of excellence that is expected which unfortunately, the Fairmont Chateau Laurier does not deliver on.

In terms of the relationship between nightly fees and facilities within the hotel, there was an imbalance. Hotel restaurants were limited and priced excessively high. However, staff are very professional and polite.

Staff were absolutely lovely! Valet was overall pretty quick except after 8pm. We had to call as we were waiting outside the entrance for 10 minutes. Hotel room was quite dusty. Had to go buy some cleaning supplies. Tub was also dirty. There was hair in the bottom of the tub and the water never got hot. A/C didn’t work great either :( most likely will not be returning.
