About the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac Hotel

Standing in grandeur, overlooking the magnificent Saint Lawrence River, the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac is the pride of Quebec City. In fact, for some people, the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac is synonymous with old Quebec. Originally built in the late 19th century as a stopover for Canadian Pacific Railroad travelers, the Chateau Frontenac is seeped in Canadian history. At night, it can be seen from any part of the city. With its medieval and Renaissance architecture, this fairy tale castle intrigues and entices the visitors to the magical city of Quebec. Wouldn’t you just love to stay here?
