Pay for the valet parking. Trust me. At $52 / night it may seem like a lot, but the parking garage alternatives in the area are very undesirable. We stopped for one night in Ottawa both to and from Que City so we're at the Chateau Laurier twice in a week. The first night I lost my ticket in the Byward Market lot and was charged $60 as a result. On the second stay, in another parking garage in the area we, along with everyone we encountered during the ten minutes we were in the lot, had trouble understanding how to download and use the indigo app to pay for parking. These lots are unattended so no one to ask and instructions were unclear. We eventually gave up, drove out and went with the Fairmount's valet, who had our bags delivered by the bellhop to our room immediately after we checked in. Also, we upgraded to Gold membership for an extra $100 / night, providing access to expedited check-in and access to the lounge for one of the best buffet breakfasts we've ever had, and dinner ordhouerves and deserts that we used as our dinner. Between those two meals for the two of us, we probably recouped the $100 right there.

Hotel location is excellent. The hotel sits on the Rideau canal and a two minute walk gets you to Byward Market, parliament grounds, war memorial, etc. The hotel is beautiful, fully restored and comfortable. Check in and concierge staff were lovely. The only opportunity would be the restaurant host staff. We were turned away for breakfast and then later at the terrasse due to limited availability, despite seeing lots of seating. Not welcome news when you have a 6 month child in tow. Some gentle pressing and the assistance of more tenured staff resolved the issue.

Thoroughly enjoyed our gals getaway at the Chateau. Given that it’s a top tier hotel I was happy with just about everything. The only snags were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling in the 2nd bathroom, mold in the grout in the shower and charging outlets didn’t work. Otherwise everything was what we expected.
