Fairmont Chateau Laurier
Absolutely superb. We've wanted to stay at the CL before, but never did. This time there was a good room rate and we jumped at it, then later upgraded to a room with a view of Parliament Hill. What a treat. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel, both of which were great. Waiters at both meals ...
