The grand dame of the Canadian railway hotels, Le Château Frontenac is Québec City’s most famous landmark, a century-old castle high on a bluff over the St. Lawrence river; if you’ve seen a single photo of Québec City, you’ve seen the Château in the background, its green oxidized copper roof and orange Scottish bricks towering above the city’s Vieux Québec historic district. And though a tourist attraction in its own right, Château Frontenac is every bit as elegant as ever—past the sightseers in the lobby is a vast and labyrinthine hotel of some six hundred rooms across six wings, which vary somewhat in age and in relative opulence (though all additions are historically accurate).

Older rooms may be a bit on the small side, but compensate with plenty of old-world charm; in any case there’s nowhere in North America more Gallic than this, with its printed fabrics and ornate antiques. At the same time, it’s a modern business hotel, with four dedicated floors (the Fairmont Gold floors) for executive travelers, and modern amenities like internet access and 24-hour room service. The most desirable (and expensive) views are of the St. Lawrence, though a view of Old Québec is nothing to complain about.

This hotel really shines, though, in the services and public spaces, from Le Champlain, the traditional French restaurant, to Le Café de la Terrasse, which is exactly what it sounds like, serving more casual international fare with a view. Le Château Frontenac is a large hotel, and slightly less personal than some of Vieux Québec’s smaller boutiques—but this is a place with character, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Design junkies may be uncomfortable, but this hotel is unquestionably the sightseer’s and the gourmand’s favorite.

    I Liked

    Position - fantastic view, and great position.

    Service - very attentive

    What the hotel could do better

    I prefer smaller hotels. Although I was checking in on the gold floor, I noted that there was at time a large line at check-in / check-out time.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.

The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
