CHÂTEAU L'HORREUR: Twitter reacts to Château Laurier redesign proposal

Construction could begin next year for a proposed expansion of the iconic Château Laurier, which would move the parking garage underground while adding 200 more rooms.

Details on the proposal were released Wednesday by the hotel’s owner, Larco Investments. The company said community consultations will be held before a site plan is submitted to the city. A detailed design will also be sent to the National Capital Commission.
