Fairmont Château Laurier |

Description:
As is the case with most of Canada's grand hotels, the Fairmont Chateau Laurier was constructed during the country's railroading heyday. It was commissioned by Charles Melville Hays with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (who, incidentally, perished in the Titanic disaster before the hotel opened). Today, the historic property is a lovely alternative to the big, rather anonymous tower hotels. All the modern conveniences have been added (high-speed Internet, coffeemakers, min-bars, cordless phones and the like), and the on-site restaurant is a winner. Event space for 800. 429 rooms and suites. |

Ottawa's favorite Irish Pub, with an interior crafted in and imported from the Emerald Isle itself, is a terrific place to visit and soak up a little local color and history (not to mention a pint or two). After all, namesake D'Arcy McGee, the "Father of Confederation," was assassinated on nearby Sparks Street in 1868, just a few short paces away. The pub boasts excellent selections of single-malt scotches and Irish whiskeys, as well as all the standard ales. A full Irish menu is available, including such traditional favorites as Guinness steak, shepherd's pie, Finnegan's Fry and corned beef and cabbage. |
