Ideally located inside the walls of Old Quebec, the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac has undergone a multimillion dollar renaissance project that will reposition it as one of the world’s leading hotels. The restoration blends the charm of the hotel’s enchanting past with modern innovations, creating an allure that is fresh & seductive, balanced with the hotel’s rich history & dynamic future.
In 2018, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac celebrated a remarkable milestone—125 years as one of the world’s most iconic grand hotels. Since opening its doors in 1893, the majestic château has towered over Québec City’s Old Town, welcoming royalty, world leaders, artists, and travelers drawn to its unmistakable silhouette and storied past.
Built by Canadian Pacific Railway as part of its legendary railway hotel collection, the Château Frontenac quickly became a symbol of elegance and ambition. Over the decades, it has played host to pivotal moments in history, including the Québec Conferences during World War II, while continually evolving to meet the expectations of modern luxury travelers.
The 125th anniversary was marked with special celebrations, heritage programming, and renewed appreciation for the hotel’s role in shaping Canadian hospitality. Today, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac remains a living landmark—where history, culture, and refined luxury converge high above the St. Lawrence River, offering guests an experience as timeless as the city it calls home.
