Standing high on a bluff overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence River,
the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac is located in the heart of Old
Quebec City. Offering three exquisite dining opportunities and a
distinctive Gallic charm, this stately hotel stands above historic
Old Quebec, a United Nations World Heritage Site. A stay at the
chateau permits you easy walking access to all of the sites and
experiences that Old Quebec has to offer.
In the late 19th
century, the hotel was built as an ideal stopover for Canadian
Pacific (CP) Railway passengers. Drawing on the styles of the Middle
Ages and the Renaissance, architect Bruce Price immortalized the
history of the two great powers that had occupied Quebec City's
highest promontory. A new expansion phase was completed in 1993 with
the inauguration of the Claude-Pratte Wing, which offers guests a
superb indoor pool, a physical fitness center and a magnificent
outdoor terrace. There is also a spa with masseur and steam bath.
History casts a long architectural line at the Chateau: a
300-year-old stone bearing the Cross of Malta emblem is among the
interior stones of the hotel's vaulted lobby. Countless
personalities have graced Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac with their
presence, including King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, Princess
Grace of Monaco, Charles de Gaulle, Ronald Reagan, Francois
Mitterrand, Charles Lindberg and Alfred Hitchcock. In 1944, Fairmont
Le Chateau Frontenac became the action center of the Quebec
Conferences of World War II, which involved U. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
The
chateau's 618 guest rooms are styled with chateau furnishings and
regal decor and feature air-conditioning with individual climate
control, an alarm clock-radio, cable television with in-room pay
movies and video games, coffee/tea maker, hairdryer, iron and
ironing board, mini-bar, telephone equipped with voice-mail and
windows that open to the outside.
