Castle of dreams. _ Named after the Canadian Prime Minister who helped secure the site for this hotel, the Fairmont Château Laurier stands proud in the centre of Ottawa for over 100 years. Charles Melville Hays commissioned the construction (who was the President of Grand Trunk Pacific Railway) but tragically died on the Titanic sinking just weeks before the scheduled opening. - There's so much fascinating history in this one building. If you do visit, ask about the iPad tour so you can walk around the hotel and find out more about it. #myottawa #momentsCLH @fairmontlaurier
