Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Canada 3
The Château Laurier Hotel looms over the magnificient flight of eight locks in Ottawa. The hotel, built in 1912, was named after one of Canada's Prime Ministers, Sir Wilfred Laurier. Built in the French Renaissance style it has granite blocks for its base, buff Indiana limestone for its walls and copper for the roof. The main roof has recently been redone and the copper has not yet weathered to its distinctive green. The hotel was commissioned in 1907 by Charles Melville Hays, General Manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway of Canada. However Hays was never to see the finished building, he died aboard the Titantic on April 14, 1912

Chateau Laurier Hotel, Ottawa, Canada
The Chateau Laurier is one of a series of sumptuous hotels erected by the two main Canadian railways nearly 100 years ago. The Chateau Laurier is located just across the Rideau Canal from Parliament Hill, and right across the street from the former Union Station, which for the last 30 years has been a federal conference centre. Note the different copper colours: the green roofs are an Ottawa signature, and in time the newer roofs will be treated chemically so that they share the look of their older counterparts
