The Fairmont is a strikingly beautiful building, steeped in history. It’s quirky and unique, which may not be to everyone’s taste - but we love such features and treat them as part of the experience. The pool for example is deep in the bowels of the property - it’s older but has an imposing air of refinement about it. I’d love to see the original features maintained and working (fountains, health lamps etc). Do your research, this hotel may not be for you, but it is for us - staff are exemplary and location is second to none. Make sure you take the complimentary BMW bicycles out for a few hours if exploration

The history of the building is amazing if course. Staff were excellent. The parking was an absolute nightmare, and would probably have me staying elsewhere the next time in Ottawa. It was full the entire stay from before we arrived to when we left, so it was the anxiety of moving the car around from lot to lot watching the time.
