Château Frontenac
Rising majestically above the St. Lawrence River, the Château Frontenac is the iconic landmark of Quebec City. Opened in 1893, the hotel was designed by architect Bruce Price as part of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s strategy to attract luxury travelers. Inspired by the French châteaux of the Loire, its grand architecture and prime location have made it one of the most photographed hotels in the world.
Over the years, the Château Frontenac has hosted many notables, including Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, who met there during World War II. Today, the hotel combines history and sophistication, offering luxurious accommodations and renowned restaurants.
Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, it’s worth a visit. The interior is impressive with its classic elegance, and the Dufferin Terrace, just across the street, offers spectacular views of the river and the city. A Quebec icon that transports visitors to an era of European elegance and charm.
