Ottawa, Canada, is one of the biggest cities in the province of Ontario. It's also Canada's national capital. Nearby courses like the Stonebridge Golf and Country Club feature world-class holes and golf amenities. Courses are varied, from scenic hillside courses in the Gatineau Hills, to riverside settings in the Rideau and St. Lawrence valleys. After a day on the green, return to one of the several hotels in downtown Ottawa for a taste of Canadian hospitality.
Fairmont Château Laurier
The Fairmont Château Laurier is one of Ottawa's most recognizable hotels, towering above the cityscape and adjacent to Parliament Hill itself. All rooms feature sweeping views of downtown Ottawa, the parliamentary buildings, scenic Rideau Canal or the neighboring province of Quebec. The 396 rooms and 33 spacious suites feature antique furnishings and comfortable upholstery. Suites have separate sleeping and living quarters and jetted bathtubs. After a golf game, head to the hotel's on-site piano lounge for fine cocktails while listening to local talent.
