Château Laurier

The Château Laurier's limestone walls and copper roof define the canal edge beside the former Union Station. Its grand public spaces belong to an operating hotel, so visitor access should remain respectful.

Why go

See how the roofline and steep stone walls hold the canal corner before continuing toward the locks below the hotel. The hotel's steep roof and canal-side placement make it a reliable visual landmark between the locks, park, and old railway-station area.

What to look for

  • Copper roofs crown the limestone hotel above the canal.

Useful to know

  • Respect hotel guests and use the public canal-side viewpoint for the clearest exterior view.
