Did you know that this hotel is the most photographed hotel in the world? What I love about is the architecture and right by the hotel there is some great ice cream. Tastes lovely & I also love the shops. Overnight stays at Fairmont never disappoints.

Les grandes et les petites histoires
Guestbook/ Explore150 Team/ Oct 31, 2013

Emblème de la Nouvelle-France et de la ville de Québec, le Château Frontenac est l’un des hôtels les plus photographiés au monde. Du haut du Cap Diamant, ce chef d’œuvre architectural offre une vue incroyable sur le quartier historique du Vieux-Québec et sur le fleuve St-Laurent. Chaque jour, des centaines de personnes y déambulent et s’empreignent de l’ambiance qui émane de cet endroit charmant. Romance, culture, diversité, histoire, mystère, splendeur. Voilà les mots qui se bousculent dans mon esprit lorsque je prends le pouls de la vie sur la terrasse Dufferin. Ici, les grandes et les petites histoires cultivent l’émerveillement, laissant aux passants la liberté de faire leur propre expérience du Château Frontenac. Bref, pour plonger dans l’histoire de l’Amérique française, pour en apprendre davantage sur ce site du patrimoine mondial, pour mordre dans la culture, ou simplement pour apprécier une promenade et profiter de la plus belle vue en ville, le Château Frontenac est un incontournable! Vous, quelle est votre impression?

The Château Frontenac, operated as Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, is a hotel in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, famous for being the most photographed hotel in the world. Prior to the establishment of a hotel, the site held the Château Haldimand, home of British colonial governors. The original Château Frontenac was built in 1893 and has since been expanded and renovated, even being partially destroyed by fire in 1926 and rebuilt.
A note for photographers : the best place to take a picture of this Château is not within Quebec City but across the river in Lévis.
