The Canadian Pacific Railway built several grand hotels across Canada in varying chateau styles, including the Château Frontenac in Quebec City. Designed by American architect Bruce Price and opened in 1893, the Château Frontenac sits high above the city on a hill along the St. Lawrence River and was named after Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac, a former governor of New France. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980 as this beautiful structure is widely recognized as the heart of Quebec City.

2. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) built several ‘grand hotels’ across the country in
varying ‘chateau’ styles: the Château Frontenac, the Banff Springs Hotel, the Royal York
Hotel, and the Empress.
The grand Hotel Frontenac, more widely known as Château Frontenac, sits on a hill
high above the city streets of Quebec City along the St. Lawrence River.
Although it rests in Canada, Hotel Frontenac was actually designed by the American
architect Bruce Price and opened at the end of the 1800s, in 1893.
The Château Frontenac was named in honour of Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac,
who was governor of the colony of New France from 1672 to 1682 and 1689 to 1698.
The Château was built not too far from the historic Citadelle, whose construction
Frontenac had begun at the end of the 17th century.
In 1980, Château Frontenac hotel was designated a National Historic Site of Canada and
rightly so as this beautiful structure is widely recognized as the heart of Quebec City.
