Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac ★★★★★

Québec’s most famous landmark and one of the world's most photographed hotels, the five-star Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, offers a bucket list stay. You can't miss it, dominating the skyline with its pure size, imposing grandeur, and green copper roof. Built-in 1893 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, inspired by the beautiful chateaux of the French Loire valley - it oozes both history and elegance.

Perfectly positioned to explore the old heart of Québec on the banks of the pretty St. Lawrence River, you'll be able to walk to all the top sights - whether that's exploring the quaint cobblestone streets of Quartier Petit Champlain or visiting the city's many museums, including the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec, or wandering the national park - the Plains of Abraham.

Enjoy the unparalleled comfort of your spacious and comfortable room as you relax amongst the stylish and timeless décor. You'll find many original features impeccably preserved yet sensitively balanced with some contemporary refurbishment. The hotel has several amenities, including a hair salon and a handful of shops and boutiques, should you need them.

After a day exploring, why not return to the hotel to unwind in the tranquil Moment Spa Le Château Frontenac, relax in the light-suffused pool area with whirlpool, take a steam bath or sauna or book into a pampering spa treatment? Follow that up with an indulgent afternoon tea at the exquisite Place Dufferin.

Take a quick nap before dressing for a delicious French fine-dining experience at the Champlain Restaurant, or perhaps frequent the more informal Sam Bistro. Whatever you do, you must head to the 6th-floor outdoor terrace, Eléa, a well-kept secret, to soak in the exceptional views over the rooftops and toast to a spectacular adventure.
