Perched on a cliff with stunning river views, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac blends historic charm with modern luxury, making it an unmissable Quebec City gem.
"An iconic hotel commanding the heights from the site of de Champlain’s original fort, known for its excellent restaurant and cocktail bar." - Nina Caplan
"Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is one of the most historically important hotels in Canadian history—but it’s not stuffy or buttoned-up. Instead, the property boasts a modern approach to hospitality complete with award-winning tasting menus, beautiful architecture juxtaposed with pop culture and Canadian history, and an ideal position at the center of the action in Vieux Quebec. The Chateau Frontenac offers comprehensive hospitality that, while not white glove, will provide travelers with everything they could possibly need for a comfortable stay in Quebec City. Travelers looking for a bespoke experience should book Fairmont Gold, which includes access to a private check-in, lounge area, and a Les Clefs d’Or concierge team who are known for making major requests happen. That said, the property is anything but pretentious, and those checking into the more humble-sized guest rooms will receive the same hospitality and service as those in a multi-room suite."
"Québec City’s grande-dame Fairmont Le Château Frontenac hotel, open since 1893, has 610 rooms decorated with wingback chairs and subtle gold accents—some with en suite fireplaces—in its six castle-style towers. Fires roar all winter in its three restaurants, including casual Bistro Le Sam and chandelier-bedecked Champlain, with modern-Québecois menu by chef Gabriel Molleur-Langevin, who worked at Noma in Copenhagen. Château Frontenac’s culinary team is partnering with Hôtel de Glace, Québec City’s annual ice hotel, on a restaurant made entirely of ice and snow. Debuting January 17, 2025, its $225-per-person menu includes Québec-accented fare like wild boar bacon consommé. Château Frontenac from $207" - Michael Kaminer
"Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathTop amenities: Floor-to-ceiling windows with incredible panoramic viewsNearby attractions: Le Relais, Mont-St-Anne, Lac Beauport This luxurious mountaintop tiny home looks like it was plucked straight from a movie set. It makes a gorgeous holiday spot for solo travelers or couples looking for a romantic getaway. Boasting spectacular views of the mountain ranges below from every room, it feels incredibly private even though it’s a quick drive to the best parts of Quebec City. Keep in mind that this one-bedroom home is off-grid so you won’t be able to take an Uber or taxi here—you’ll need an all-wheel drive vehicle, or you can arrange a shuttle service with the host."
"A charming city known for its well-preserved colonial architecture, French influence, and as a cruise departure port."
