Château Laurier was commissioned by Grand Trunk Railway president Charles Melville Hays, and was constructed for million, between 1909 and 1912 in tandem with Ottawa’s downtown Union Station (now the Government Conference Centre) across the street. The two buildings were connected with a tunnel. When the hotel first opened, private rooms cost a night; 155 of the 350 bedrooms featured a private bath while the other 104 rooms had washstands with hot and cold water connections. In addition dormitories and common bathrooms were available as were rooms for travelling salesmen with sample tables to display goods
