Overview
The palatial façade of the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac isn't all this landmark hotel has going for it. Upon entering, guests are greeted with lavish decor and sweeping views overlooking the St. Lawrence River and Old Québec (Vieux-Québec). The gorgeous scenery extends to the accommodations, appointed with cable TVs, minibars and Wi-Fi access (for a fee), though several recent guests thought some of the rooms were showing signs of age. But recent guests say the hotel's enviable location – a stone's throw from Québec City's top sites – is what sets this Fairmont branch apart from competitors. Should you find extra time to spare between wandering the city streets and exploring historic sites, soothe any lingering tension at the Moment Spa. Or, if you came to tackle fresh powder, you have your choice of three ski areas – all situated within an hour of the hotel. Afterward, enjoy an après-ski cocktail or a hearty meal at one of four restaurants, as well as a Starbucks outpost on the hotel's terrace level, all of which garner high praise for their excellent service. Fairmont President's Club members can also earn frequent flyer miles for choosing to stay here.

The views of the St. Lawrence River and the UNESCO World Heritage Site city are paramount. Chateau du Spa is the best in the area; top treatments include the lemon granita full-body exfoliation followed by a shea butter body wrap. Restaurants on-site range from a farm-to-table buffet and 1608 Wine and Cheese Bar to the top-tier Champlain Restaurant.
Overlooking the St. Lawrence River, the Château Frontenac has hosted heads of state (Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, Queen Elizabeth II) and Hollywood celebrities (Alfred Hitchcock, Barbara Stanwyck, James Cagney).
This hotel is a tourist attraction in its own right, so the lobby can be quite busy.
Its majestic spires and gabled rooftops have been visible along the cliff overlooking the St. Lawrence River since 1893.
