Old World Elegance for a Modern World: Fairmont Le Château Frontenac

Close to home and a world away, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City provides guests with a charming lodging experience with uniquely Canadian touches and Old World European influences. While it’s a great year-round destination, there’s something extra special about visiting Quebec City in the summer, and during the annual Festival d’Ete de Quebec (FEQ) in particular.

An Exquisite Hotel

More than 600 guest rooms and suites await you, decorated in soothing colors and sophisticated linens and lines. This stately hotel also offers Fairmont Gold rooms for added luxury. Relax in your comfortable room or visit the Moment Spa Le Château Frontenac for a massage or wellness treatment. Club Frontenac’s heated pool means you can swim year-round, and complimentary health club access includes treadmills, free weights, exercise machines, and cross-trainers. Guests traveling with children will enjoy the small wading pool. 

Fine Canadian Dining

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac has three on-site restaurants and a bar for guest convenience, and with the riverside views, it’s hard to imagine wanting to go anywhere else to eat. Enjoy breakfasts and afternoon tea with traditional pastries, scones, and sandwiches at Place Dufferin. For dinner, visit the upscale Le Champlain Restaurant for dishes that reflect traditional Canadian flavors and modern Quebecois culinary influences. Bistro Le Sam serves an eclectic menu for lunch and happy hour guests. Try creative dishes paired with custom cocktails. And 1608 Bar is the place to gather for fine wines and cocktails accompanied by cheese plates. 

An Ideal Location

The palatial Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a perfect synthesis of Quebec’s rich history and modern elegance. While European influences abound, there’s no mistaking the uniquely Canadian imprint. Its location is ideal for exploring the oldest parts of the city while taking part in modern boutique shopping and cultural events, like FEQ. Every July, hundreds of thousands of music fans flood Quebec for an 11-day music festival for all ages, with more than 250 performances from music legends like Mariah Carey, The Who, and Lady Gaga to rising stars. As performance venues, pop up events, and festival art installations are scattered throughout Quebec, having a great hotel in a prime location gives you more time to enjoy the music.
