We chose to stay at the Chateau Frontenac after suggestions of our travel agent. In fact she was right to say that this castle has a particular atmosphere and that is is great to have experienced it. For my point of view it is a great suggestion for short stay. The room is great but furniture is a little bit lower then standard expectations for this category and brand. However, we have great memories and that is why i do recommend it.

Beautiful signature hotel in a classic setting overlooking the St. Lawrence in the historic part of Quebec City. Old-style elegance and comfort - not trendy but classic elegance. We had a quiet room in the Fairmont Gold section - worth the price we paid - great continental breakfast in Fairmont Gold lounge. Nice elegant (but not stuffy) bar overlooking the river. Visited during Winter Carnival- fun to be in a city that celebrates winter - even in very cold weather!

If I could have given 3.5/5 I would have. This property, with all it's history is worth a stay just for that reason alone.

The rooms are nice & clean. Bed was very comfortable. The bathrooms show the oldness of the building ; they are tiny and you have essentially no room to place your toiletries. Its all OK, but nothing overly spectacular or anything to justify the somewhat expensive price tag of a stay here.

Parking was a ridiculous 32$/night. I would expect that in Manhattan, but not Quebec City. There is not much public & overnight parking in the area so I guess they are taking advantage of that.

All-in-all, this property is nice and I am glad I stayed here. There is nothing "wrong" with the Chateau Frontenac ; perhaps my expectations were set a bit high?

I stayed at this Fairmont hotel for one night during my trip to Quebec. It is a very nice hotel, it looks very impressive, from the inside as from the outside. It is a very big hotel but it is full of charm!
The room was located on the 15th floor, it was very nice, spacious with a nice view (small windows though). Very comfy bed. The bathroom however did not correspond to a 5 * standard…it is small, there’s only a tiny lillte bath tube with a shower, there is no space at all, even no place to put you toiletries…it does not go with the entire room and hotel, it’s more a 3*bath room in a 5* hotel…
Breakfast was ok, however I was missing some more international breakfast selection for example some ham or cheese instead of only bacon and eggs. Lovely selection of fresh fruit and pasteries though!
The only really annoying thing in this hotel are the huge groups of tourists in my case a huge group of older americans coming back from skiing who were incredibly lound and sort of ruined the hotel’s charm. Unfortunetaly they were almost everywhere you went. It felt like Disneyland somehow.
Downstairs on the terrace level there is a Starbucks (cheesy but also sort of cool).
Overall it was a nice experience.
