The grande dame of the Quebec City skyline, Chateau Frontenac has been cosseting guests in comfort since 1892. Yet Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac (call it by its official name) is more than its history.

The hub of the fortified city, this castle hotel is infused with romance. From the beaver-hatted doormen who are first to welcome arrivals to the knowledgable concierges to the experienced waiters who flambée fare in Le Champlain, the staff is friendly, professional, and efficient.

Castle-like verdigris turrets, dark wood and soft lighting in the lobby... guest rooms that overlook the St. Lawrence River... a gallery of bijoux and bibelots for a lover to bestow... and restaurants meant for celebrating are among the seductions of Canada's most enchanting big hotel.
