Fairmont Le Château Frontenac

Historical and charming right in the heart of it all. Centrally located near everything you would want to see or walk to in the city.
The rooms and service were excellent. The only thing worth mentioning is that the hotel is very busy. If your looking for a quiet place with small parlors to sit and relax, this isn’t the place. Since it’s a historical building, tourists are permitted to come in to look at the lobby, however he room areas are quiet.

We went to the wine bar (just off the lobby) and also the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. Both were excellent experiences. Great views of the river from the wine bar; good wine list and interesting cocktail menu. Really cool vibe sitting at the bar. Had great breakfasts at the restaurant on the bottom level. They are very gluten aware and gluten friendly; delicious breakfast buffet food and good service. Was not disappointed in either restaurant and would definitely come back here again.

This review is less for the services provided at Château Frontenac and mostly for the beauty that is the building. This historic and incredible building overlooking the water is gigantic and goegeous. The history associated with the building is just as incredible. Overall, we enjoyed the beauty of the exterior of the building as well as the beauty of the interior of the building. The next time we visit Old Québec this will be where we hope to spend our nights.

I stayed at the Château with my family for a week long vacation after Christmas. I felt like Eloise at the Plaza — it is so magical in there! For the cost, you are paying for the top-​of-​the-​line service, the history, and the location. If you go, definitely go at Christmas! The decorations are amazing.
The positives:
1. The service here is AMAZING. Our bellhop, Pierre-​Yves, was the most helpful person I’ve ever met. Throughout our stay, if there was a line at the concierge, Pierre-​Yves would come over, remembered our names, and would help make dinner recommendations and even reservations for us. He was so kind and went out of his way to make sure we had a good time.
2. Everything is so beautiful. It is a truly gorgeous hotel.
3. When we arrived, there were macarons and cupcakes waiting in the room for us! They even left a card saying «happy birthday» to my mom. So sweet!
4. The gym facility is really nice. They even have a refrigerator with water bottles and a bowl of fresh fruit out for you to use!
The only negative was my manicure. For the price, I was unimpressed.
For New Year’s Day, my parents got a couples massage while my sisters and I got manicures. My parents had an excellent experience, and my sisters’ manicures were lovely, but I was pretty disappointed with mine. I had a different manicurist than they did, and I just felt like for a $ 60 manicure it did not look great. She never cut my cuticles, and she missed a few spots on my nails. Normally I wouldn’t be so picky, but for being so expensive I expected top of the line. Again, my sisters had a great experience and the manicurist who did their nails was so friendly, we had a great conversation with her and she even let us use the massaging pedicure chairs while we waited our turns.

It’s everything you expect from a top Fairmont hotel, like the Plaza in NYC, but with more history and an even better view and location within Quebec. Service is top notch, outstanding restaurants, and rooms have been recently updated.

Beautiful lobby and truly even better during Xmas. Holiday are truly brought out in this hotel.

Bel hôtel touristique bien situé en plein coeur du vieux Québec. Le restaurant de l’hôtel offre un menu de très haute qualité mais un peu chers. Par contre il est dans la norme de prix parmis les restaurateurs dans le vieux Québec.
Note négative: la chambre né vaut vraiment pas son prix. On retrouve mieux ailleur pour moindre coût.

The absolute favorite hotel that I have ever stayed in. The rooms were historic, reflecting the grandness of a different era. The staff was excellent and the surrounding area in Quebec City was the finishing touches to a memorable experience. I look forward to my next stay at the Frontenac.

Staying at the Château was definitely an experience I’m glad I had, but next time I don’t think I would stay here again. I’m not cheap, and stay in a LOT in nice hotels throughout the year, but so couldn’t help but feel nickel and dimed.
$ 32 for parking + $ 16 for their slowest wifi package = $ 48 extra per day. Also, they will bill you $ 300 the first day as a security, and $ 100 every single day after that — you get it all back a few days after you check out but I wish someone had informed us, as I used my debit card, not a credit card, and we ended up with $ 700 in «holds» on top of our $ 600 bill when we checked out (parking, Internet, massage, some food).
Beyond that, the one time we asked for valet, it took 30 minutes, almost missing our dinner reservation, although they assured us that was not normal, and the front desk had not phoned it in. Later that night a dessert had arrived with an apology card, but no note, we guessed it must have been for the valet?
Room service was weak, beds were hugely uncomfortable, and in terms of location it was good, but it was winter so not much going on in the area.
We loved going down below using the funiculaire and would probably stay down there next time where the restaurants and shopping are much better than around the hotel.
Truly a central location though, and I had a really wonderful massage in the spa.

Absolutely lives up to its legend! Such character and history, the castle feels like it’s out of a storybook.
Very romantic hotel in the most romantic city. My wife and I have visited twice and have been thrilled with the service, accommodations and staff. Our dinner at the hotel was great and the renovations look fantastic. We were up this past Spring for our anniversary and they treated us like royalty including an outstanding dinner recommendation!
For those who have never visited QC, think Europe without crossing the pond. We can’t wait to visit again!

Went to high tea the second day of arriving in Quebec City… I swear I have made it my life’s mission to have high tea around the world and write about it. Needless to say I am EX-​tremely behind with the tea reviews so what better time to start than with tea @ Le Château Frontenac. I will have to say I wasn’t impressed. I made reservations the day prior and there wasn’t any mention that they pre-​made the tea sandwiches prior to your seating. So when my friend and I sat for tea the server came over and asked if we wanted something to drink (Uhmm yea, tea) or could he offer us a glass of champagne or Quebec Apple Cider? So we said yes to the cider, my friend and I both looked at each other and was like big mistake… HUGE!!! I couldn’t tell if it was an alcoholic beverage or not… I do know it kept reminding me of Chardonnay… and I am a member of the ABC club… Anything But Chardonnay… ooh gawd… Okay so like 45 minutes later our server shows up with a tower of tea sandwiches and 3 biscuits… I mean homemade scones… they looked like biscuits… they tasted like biscuits… those were some damn biscuits…
Getting to the tower that just showed up without us ordering because we had menus in front of us and I make appoint to tell them to exclude any seafood sandwiches. I didn’t get that option and it was explained to me that it was too late and I had to keep what I had… but I was thinking what was I too late for… I never ordered!!! Moving on… as I ate the 4 veggie and 2 meat sandwiches; my friend ate the rest of the 12 half finger sandwiches. I heard him tell the table next to us that there was a dessert buffet and the plates were on the table… as he is striking past my table I had to stop him and tell him that I over heard him say that there was more. He said yes… I was like is there an additional cost? He said no… ok great thanks for all of that pertinent information fella… Da Fuq?
Uhm…did I mention we didn’t get a water refill for our tea… yeaaa about that. So tea comes to an end and $ 65.00 CAD pp later for a pot of tea, 6 half finger sandwiches, 1 ½ scone biscuits, ABC apple cider and an almost missed dessert buffet; I would say that the hotel is beautiful and notable with an amazing view while you’re sipping an afternoon Cuppa Cuppa.

such a beautiful and historical hotel, I was so lucky to have stayed here for Christmas time! The decoration was wonderful inside, and this hotel needs no further décor on the outside other than the snow in the winter.
Service was also stellar.
— they extended the time they offered food at the lounge because I came back late but wanted to nibble on stuff & drink coffee.
— they always have maps ready for you when you wanna go explore the city.
— perfect English (They taught me french too!) and warm welcome.
— room service is excellent.
The room I stayed in had no bath tub though, which was the only issue considering how cold I was all the time and how badly I needed to warm my body up after staying outside — but that is the only one downer I have to say. As long as you keep the windows closed, the room is super warm, even in December.
The hotel has 3 restaurant/​bars connected to it that you can dine in. The bar is open til late, offering wine, cheeseboard, etc. (The cheeseboard is good for sharing, too much for one person) The other restaurants serve continental breakfast as well as dinner with a wonderful view of the outside.
The location is also super convenient. I was able to walk to Rue du Petit Champlain and the rest of Old Quebec or Vieux Quebec, the train station to catch the ride to Montréal, a brewery, a busy street with lots of stores for shopping, and then walk back as well… so much fun:)

Just a fabulous place to stay.
There’s lots of reviews but I will give you one about the service.
We had a sick child so we called the concierge — any clinics nearby? Well no, but we can arrange for the hotel doctor to visit you. Really? Uh sure.
And he did visit. Called our cell and set up an appointment in a few hours. A house call!
and then can we get medicine? Sure, and he arranged for the concierge to bring it up to the room.
Just fabulous service when we needed it the most.
Great place. Great service. The best place to stay in Quebec. Period.

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is an oasis in Quebec. Settled on the major promenade towering over the Old City, Le Château Frontenac offers stunning views of the St. Laurent River, Saint Jean de I’Ile d’Orleans and some rollings hills. The staff greets you at your car to valet and will escort you inside to check in and bring your bags up to your luxurious room with views of the courtyard or the city. The hotel has a a few bars and lounges to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail in a romantic atmosphere. Extremely close (less than 2 minute) walk to the Funiculaire and stairs to Old City as well as 5 minute walk to many cafes and restaurants, this truly is the city «hub.» You deserve to treat yourself to a stay at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, but if funds are tight, at least stop by to snap a few photos or have a drink at the glass window’d bar.

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! The exterior and lobby are spectacular and its location can’t be beat in the heart of old Quebec City. The rooms are a little on the small side, but well appointed as befitting a luxury accommodation. I think the price is a bit high for what you get, but the valet parking is a nice service since parking is pretty difficult to find. I think there are a number of very nice boutique hotels in old Quebec that are as nice as Frontenac but less money. Its still a nice splurge though.

On a lovely weekend surprise, I found myself here. This hotel has been around forever. The history here is all around you and just perfect. You can absorb as m, uch or as little as you like.
You sit overlooking the river with a glass of wine. Really, what more do you want? A little romance? Check. Easy service? Check. Nice rooms? Check. A pool? Check. A nice bar for a after dinner drink? Check?
All good. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Stunning hotel in the best location imaginable. We stayed here for two nights during the off season and payed really reasonable rates for a beautiful room. The whole weekend we spent in Old Quebec was really magical, and coming back to this gorgeous building in between sight seeing was a big contributing factor. We met up with friends here and enjoyed visiting the hotel bar and exploring the nearby neighborhoods. If you visit during the winter season, I highly recommend the toboggan run outside the hotel which provides an amazing view and exhilarating experience.

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City, Canada is quite a sight to behold!!! Marvelous architectural wonder!
I have yet to stay here, but I cannot help but admire it from afar and from their lobby. One of these days, my wife and I will spend an evening here. I look forward to that day!

Location can’t be beat and the defining icon of Quebec City. The rooms themselves are average and aging, as can be expected. The lobby is elegant though!
Hot tip about the wifi, go sign-​up for a club membership for free and voila, free wifi! If you accept the charges to use the wifi and then sign up for the membership, they will reverse the charges.
Another hot tip about power — by all appearances there are not enough plugs to charge your devices, but actually the alarm clock and lamps are plugged into power bars with more spare outlets for charging, so you just have to dig.
Don’t touch the bottles of wine — their sensors are hypersensitive and you might get a nasty surprise on your bill because you curiously lifted a bottle.

The Château Frontenac ranks up there as one of the top key location based hotels in Canada (and possibly North America)! Definitely the crowning jewel hotel for Quebec City. Some of the views of the river are just spectacular. For a majestic old property there is lots to explore in and around downtown Quebec when staying here.
The hotel was renovated a few years ago and the rooms (some very small some larger) vary in this very old hotel. I had a medium sized room with King bed, desk and well sized bathroom with shower but no bathtub. My room number was 7282. The décor was clean modern and the bed extremely comfortable. Unfortunately when I looked out the window there was no spectacular view but just the backside of the hotel! Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose in the lottery of hotel room views. I lost this time! 3.75÷5
My purpose of visit for trip to the CF was a conference, so we had used the rooms on the second floor and basement floor during the week. I’d rate the conference rooms and service as above average ⁴⁄₅. It was clear that they were renovated and modernized. Some of the rooms had nice window views of outside that your eye would gaze towards to see what was going on in the outside world! Overall no complaints here. One thing you notice when you attend many hotel conferences is the state of the public washrooms as there is mass volume using them during breaks. The hotel did a great job as restrooms were never dirty and comfortable to use.
Our food for the week had some decent selection on each day and many healthy options. Sure I heard complaints from work colleagues about runny eggs in the morning, but overall found the food quite palatable, nicely crafted and tasty! The first evening there was a poutine bar (I never tried) roast pork, beef and other finger food which was quite good. The lunches always had many options (not just pasta and chicken). Overall food I’d say was ⁴⁄₅.
The décor of the hotel was nicely themed for the holidays and was elegant and tasteful. It gave you the feeling that the holidays were upon us.
I had used the pool and hot tub area one one day. The pool feels like you are swimming in a place that dates back to the 50’s. It was clean and no issues but the old style was somewhat funny as it harks back to an earlier era. There was a kids pool, lap pool and another one for just floating like a hippo (relax style). It would be fantastic if they had an outdoor hot tub but alas none to be had!
Only negative for my stay was I found the hotel extremely dry in winter! I would even run my shower for a while before bed but this I found did not do much. A little negative in an overall wonderful experience.

À voir absolument.

Génial ! Nous somme rester 1 nuit au château dans une chambre rénover le service vraiment génial (en plus on avez ni pantoufle ni musique ni brosse à dent on leur passer une coup de fil tout nous as était apporter immédiatement avec le sourire) l hôtel et magnifique et le resto génial marc Antoine nous as servit comme un grand serveur en
Nous détaillant tout les plats et il as était d une gentillesse rare merci à lui pour se super moment as c est coter nous somme de France on as l habitude de bien manger mais la le saumon était merveilleux et l entrés au fromage un régal aussi merci pour se bon séjour à vos coter

Let me start by saying that I don’t think a visit to QC would be complete without stepping inside and enjoying the Château in some way! It really is lovely, and feels like visiting another time (in a good way). :)
That having been said, we stayed here recently for two nights to celebrate our anniversary in Quebec. The rate was awesome (since it is off-​season), and the location is really at the heart of Old Quebec. We stayed in one of the new rooms (they recently did a massive reno), which was nice but a little small. We also had some issues with our heat, but they addressed that quickly. I agree with other reviews that charging for WiFi at a hotel of this price is quite silly. Most international travelers rely on WiFi to keep in touch while away, so the daily rate for this service was a bummer.
Old Quebec is very walkable, so in the future we’d probably opt to stay at one of the smaller boutique hotels for a more cozy experience (and would likely be more affordable for us down the road), but it was neat to feel a bit like royalty while staying at the Château. And if you happen to book a package (we found out about a great package for the same price only when calling to confirm the reservation we made online, so worth doing that), check your bill. We had to make a few reminders to get it right, but they addressed quickly.
Staff is very nice and accommodating. Brunch at Champlain is, in my opinion, an excellent way to experience the Château, especially if you can’t afford to stay there. Beautiful spread, and all the more special if you can get a seat overlooking the river. (But I’d pass on room service. It was meh at best and cost as much as a fine dinner out.)
Definitely worth seeing, especially all dressed up for the holidays.

La dernière fois c’était il y a 15 ans et j’avais adoré avec mes enfants.
Cette fois ci je suis venue juste avec mon mari et c’est toujours exceptionnel.
Ma chambre était super confortable. Le service dans cet hotel est exceptionnel. Nous avons accès au 14ieme et avons très bien été accueillis.
La seule petite note que je donnerai sera la terrasse dehors au niveau de la piscine. Les chaises longues sont une peu rouillées, elles n’avaient pas tous des coussins, le travail sur le landscaping était à un niveau nul… même l’herbe est en mauvaise condition.
Le bar à vin 1608 n’offre un choix que de huit vins maximum au verre c’est un peu juste…
Sinon je reviendrai…

Je suis tombée en amour de ce Château lors de mon premier séjour à Québec en 2012, et depuis, j’adore y retourner pour le prendre en photo (en été, en hiver, le jour, le soir !). Je né saurais pas expliquer pourquoi ce château me fait tant d’effets, sans doute grâce à son architecture et la gigantesque terrasse. Sans doute aussi parce que même de très loin, on peut encore l’apercevoir. Je né sais pas, mais je l’aime c’est tout ! Et je né me lasse pas de retourner le voir et de le prendre en photo encore et encore… Cela dit, je n’ai pas encore testé le restaurant, ni même l’Hôtel (mais j’espère pouvoir le faire très vite !!)
Il est un incontournable de la ville de Québec, à né surtout pas louper !

Quel bel endroit! Un incontournable pour tous ceux qui passent à Québec! Et pas obligé d’y séjourner, vous pouvez tout simplement aller y boire un verre ou y manger à leur restaurant. L’ambiance chic, mais l’attitude décontractée et chaleureuse du personnel est très agréable!
C’est à cet endroit que j’ai passé mes deux derniers partys d’employés avec mon ancien employeur. Nul besoin de vous dire que nous y sommes très bien reçus! La nourriture est exquise et le décor est envoutant!
Mais, pour avoir grandi à Québec, je suis quand même très déçue que l’endroit n’ait jamais été un vrai château! Il demeure tout de même très majestueux!

Hôtel le plus photographié dans le monde, le Château Frontenac est non seulement l’image même de Québec, mais aussi le gage d’excellence que la région offre aux touristes. J’aime y aller à l’occasion pour y admirer toute la splendeur qui en resplendit. Le château offre une table gastronomique inégalée et met en valeur les produits du terroir québécois. Il faut d’ailleurs que vous goutiez au miel produit par le Château qui abrite sur son toit une ruche d’abeille de haute qualité.

Le Château Frontenac est synonyme de la ville de Québec. Il me serait inutile de vous le décrire, vous l’avez certainement déjà vu. C’est le gros château magnifique qui trôné sur Québec et veille sur le Fleuve Saint-​Laurent. Si vous êtes de passage à Québec, il me semblerait complètement impossible de né pas faire un petit arrêt ici. Ce château est bien un hôtel, mais avec des prix qui sont évidemment élevés, je comprends bien si vous préférez dormir à un hôtel moins cher du Boulevard Laurier. Admiré de dehors ou de l’intérieur dans ces petites boutiques et restaurants, le Château Frontenac va vous éblouir.

Je n’apprends rien à personne en parlant de ce mythique château datant de la fin du 19e siècle, gracieuseté des ambitions luxueuses et commerciales de la capitale, des compagnies ferroviaires canadiennes ainsi que du talent de l’architecte Bruce Price. Il est un élément architectural indispensable à la beauté de la ville et supposément l’hôtel le plus photographié au monde. La vue qu’il donne sur le fleuve St-​Laurent est franchement impressionnante.
Chaque fois que je lanterne dans le Vieux-​Québec, je prends quelques instants pour venir contempler l’édifice. Une promenade dans les couloirs fastueux est de mise, même si l’on né prévoit pas y loger, car ça demeure une découverte en soi.
Vous aurez compris que c’est encore l’un des hôtels les plus dispendieux en ville, avec ses quelques 600 chambres et infinités commodités.

Ah Le Château Frontenac quel trésor! Apparemment c’est l’hotel le plus photographié au monde en même temps après l’avoir vu en vrai on comprend pourquoi.
Vu que c’est devenu un hôtel on né peut pas vraiment le visiter a part si vous prenez une chambre et avez de la chance de voir la vue imprenable du fleuve Saint Laurent.
Ou sinon opter pour un déjeuner ou un goûter, vous aurez aussi le droit a la vue magnifique mais aussi a une magnifique expérience d’avoir manger dans un château.
J’y retournerai un jour c’est sur!

C’est un hôtel avec un côté historique. Et on peut dire que son architecture né passé pas inaperçue. Outré cela, la petite suite de 40m2 est très belle. Beau décor. La cuisine du chef Jean Soulard est irréprochable. Vous pouvez même aller avec le chef au milieu du château et voir son herbier !!
De plus, vous êtes au centre du vieux québec et vous pourrez profiter de la vue sur le grand fleuve st laurent.
Pour les québecois, il y a des tarifs spéciaux et moins cher, il faut appeler au téléphone.
Pour une deuxième venue, nous avons eu la suite Grace de Monaco pour nos 1 ans. Superbe suite où Grace de Monaco a logé. Le repas au restaurant avait un peu changé et les cuissons des viandes étaient à revoir. Le chef Jean Soulard est parti il y a quelques mois.

Liebe Qyper-​Gemeinde,
ich bin sonst sehr kritisch aber an diesem Hotel kann man überhaupt nichts aussetzen.
Es ist eine der Hauptattraktionen Quebec Citys und man fühlt sich wie ein König wenn man dieses Hotel betritt.
Die Zimmer sind äusserst Geschmacksvoll eingerichtet,
die Sauberkeit lässt nicht zu Wünschen übrig und der Service ist ausgezeichnet.
Das Restaurant des Hotels ist auch sehr zu empfehlen.
Dort sind echte Genies am Kochtopf.
Alles in allem kann man dies Hotel nur vom warmsten Herzen empfehlen.
Natürlich sollte man aber die Preise beachten die wie überall in Kanada relativ hoch sind, und dieses Hotel ist ja in der Spitzenklasse und daher sehr teuer.

Lors de mon périple au québec une petite nuit de folie au château frontenac, de prime abord on pourrait le prendr epour un château mais en fait c’est un hotel de grand luxe
situation:
Il se situe dans le vieux Québec pas très loin de l’embouchure du St laurent, vous né pouvez pas le rater avec ses toits de cuivre, de couleurs vertes du à l’oxydation par l’air, cela se marie très bien avec les murs de briques, lorsque vous le voyez vous êtes impressionnés par sa taille, il est très grand et imposant.
Vous y acceder facilement à pied et en voiture mais il faut savoir que dans le vieux québec on s’y déplace plutot à pied;
son implantation est excellent puisque vous êtes à coté de tout, les restaurants, les musées les diverses activités qu’on peut faire à Québec, la vue sur le St Laurent et le quartier francais y est très très belle, d’ailleurs je vous en est mis des photos.
equipement de l’hotel:
Vous etes accueilli par le faste de cet hotel„ vous avez l’impression d’être un prince lorsque vous rentrez, tout est grand, cela respire la richesse et ausis le calme, quelques personnalité y ont séjourné dont céline Dion, d’ailleurs lorsque vous faites la visite de l’hotel: et oui vous pouvez le visité on vous montre la suite qu’elle a occupée ;)
Vous y trouverz quatres restaurants plutot bien cotés, des salons de réceptions et d’affaires, une piscine intérieure que nous n’avons pas testé et aussi un centre de remise en forme, vous accedez aux différents étages par des ascenseur, d’ancien style très cossu ou alors à l’aide d’escalier très larges, on se croirait vraiment à l’ancien temps, on n’attend plus que des princes et princesse déscendent les marches dans leurs robes longues; d’ailleurs quand vous faites la visite, le guide est costumé d’époque.
les chambres et petit déjeuner:
Pour ce types d’hotel, elles sont classiques vaste avec des lits de bonne qualité, des sur lit fait de bon tissus, ca me changeait de l’auberge de jeunesse ;)
, tout est impeccablement rangés, vous avez une vue imprenable sur le st laurent ou le vieux québec suivant votre réservation.
Le petit déjeuner est servi dans une grande salle (enfin quand j’y suis allée) et vous avez de la nourriture à foison, le personnel est très accueillant, souriant et sympatique, toujours un petit mot gentil; vraiment c’est très plaisant.
mon avis:
ce n’est pas un endroit où je pourrais aller tous les jours mais c’est à faire une fois dans votre vie, pour un grand événement, c’est un endroit très bien placé dans le vieux québec, et où l’accueil est vraiment charmant, vouss avez une impression de calme quand vous rentrez dans cet hotel, tout parait très feutré, j’en garde un merveilleux souvenir, ainsi que la visite on se croirait revenu dans les années 1900!
Un bon acceuil, des chambres de rêve, un petit déjeuner qui fait merveille, bref le temps d’une nuit je me suis crue une reine avec tout un personnel à mes pieds!
j’ai beaucoup aimé aussi l’architecture de cet hotel avec ces toits de cuivres il fait d’ailleurs aprtie du patrimoine mondial de l’unesco, il fut construit à la fin du 19eme siècle pour acceuillir les divers voyageurs de choix qui arrivaient du St laurent.
bref je né peux que vous inciter à aller le voir, et si vous né pouvez y rester dormir, au moins fites la visite guidée, elle vaut le détour.

Le château Frontenac tient son nom du gouverneur qui dirigea la ville de Québec (en fait la province de Nouvelle France mais bon ^^) pendant 30 ans (au 17e siècle). Hôtel depuis sa construction, il s’est agrandi pour aujourd’hui compter plus de 600 chambres, et accueille un public aisé. A l’époque, l’hôtel servait notamment à loger les voyageurs qui souhaitaient relier l’est et l’ouest du Canada.
Le château est impressionnant, il dot sa toiture verte au cuivre qui le composait et qui s’est oxydé au contact de l’air. La visite en compagnie d’une hôtesse vêtue comme à l’époque est sympathique. Les jardins qui culminent au sommet au château servent au cuisinier pour concocter des petits plats dans son resto (relativement cher ^^) ! Une halte très sympa, à combiner à une marche sur les rives du St Laurent :)
