LANDMARK ON THE ST. LAWRENCE 

The Elegance of Le Château Frontenac

FOR ALMOST 125 YEARS, LE CHÂTEAU Frontenac has defined the skyline of Québec City and served as a global icon of gracious hospitality. Canadian Pacific Railways president William Van Horne imported bricks from Scotland to build a castle to serve as a stopover for travelers. In 1893, the Riverview Wing boasted 170 rooms, 93 of which had bathrooms and fireplaces, remarkable luxuries at the time. Today, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac has more than 7.5 miles of corridors connecting 611 elegant rooms outfitted with all of the latest creature comforts. Nearly 2,000 windows provide extraordinary views of the St. Lawrence River, Old Québec, or the hotel’s interior gardens.
