Le Château Frontenac

castle quebec The Château Frontenac was designed by American architect Bruce Price, as one of a series of "château" style hotels built for the Canadian Pacific Railway company (aka CPR) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. CPR's policy was to promote luxury tourism by appealing to wealthy travelers. The Château Frontenac opened in 1893, six years after the Banff Springs Hotel, which was owned by the same company and similar in style.
My personal favorite? The Saint-Laurent, Chateau Frontenac's charming and cozy bar lounge, where you can stop for drinks and a snack and enjoy the amazing view of the St. Lawrence River. My favorite drink? The "Louis de Buade", a mix of hot chocolate and amaretto that is sure to warm you up even on the coldest winter day! And if you happen to be in Quebec City in the summertime, the Saint-Laurent probably has the best patio in the city. Oh and don't worry, you don't have to dress up because it's at le Chateau, it's actually a pretty casual bar. Enjoy! [Source:Wikipedia] Read more....
