Nous sommes allé dans le cadre d'une rencontre de chambre de commerce ce fut une très belle fin de semaine, avons eu un souper meurtre et mistère très bien animé,lusueux j'y retournerait sans ésiter
tout simplement des vacances pour me reposer .service tres bien et personnel attentionner
j y ai passer plusieures jours , apprecier la chaleur des gens de quebec
Pour une petite escapade à Québec, le Château Frontenac est un incontournable pour se replonger au 19e siècle. Nous avons adoré notre séjour et notre chambre était très belle et comfortable. Cette année, le Château fête son 115e anniversaire ! Ne manquez pas les portes ouvertes du 1er au 30 novembre. Nous avons également beaucoup aimé le personnel qui est courtois et nous salue tous le long de notre séjour.
Nous avons un party de Noël, v'là 2 ans au Chateau Frontenac, c'était magnifique et la décoration de Noël était féérique, j'y retournerais n'importe quand, la bouffe était très bonne ainsi que le service, la chambre était luxueuse la vue sur le fleuve, quoi de plus beau.
vue de l exterieur tres bel architecture .j ai assister a une soiree a la salle de bal du chateau et j ai trouver la decoration fabuleuse, depuis je reve de passer quelques jours de vacance dans ma vie dans ce paradis . service tout inclus.
If you look closely at my picture, you will see that the pic of Spud was taken from the window of room in the Frontenac. A beautiful hotel in a beautiful end of the city. In the summer of 2008, they had a retired seeing eye dog working in the lobby as a greeter. Great touch! He was a hit.
Afternoon tea with friends is one of my greatest delights, so tea at the Fairmont was high on my list of things to do in Quebec City. If you enjoy a lovely afternoon English tea or Devonshire tea, you will be sorely disappointed in this afternoon tea.
The selection of teas was very ordinary, and quite limited. The sugar came in packets, not cubes, and milk was served, not cream. I must say, the...

After a rough stay the first time, we were invited to come back for another night and breakfast. Jean Alix contacted me and offered to help. Wow, what a different experience this time.
Same great great things as before:
Hotel, grounds, pool area, outdoor seating on the 6th floor, bar, and staff were truly excellent. Well deserving of the 5 stars.
Our room this time however was a deluxe city...

It's pretty amazing to find some of the structure of the old chateau that is so well preserved. We enjoyed a self-guided tour and learning the history that went along with this place.
The prices for the lunch at the Bistrot le Sam were correct.The service was exceptional and the waiters were super friendly.Great service and the food was exceptional. At least the Sunday brunch - buffet -is too expensive, overpriced: bland food, underseasoned and lackluster from start to finish.The seafood station was minimal with a bottle of kikkoman soy sauce and tube of wasabi sitting out... plus
It's still a working archeological dig.If you have an interest in history it's worth a visit.You can do a self tour for cheap or a guided tour for slightly more.
Perfect for a quick addition to any day of activities near the Chateau Frontenac. Don't need more than 30 minutes for self guided tour of the remains of the old governors' palace which lie below the Terrasse Dufferin.
Big, beautiful old hotel in the heart of Old Quebec City. Our room was small but elegantly decorated. However, we paid nearly $650 for this room. I expected better. The staff here is fantastic and friendly. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops.
Had a great tour! Had a guided tour and enjoyed the information. The artifacts were so interesting! Glad that Parks Canada has preserved this!
Excellent service . Gallery was exquisite.Beautiful grounds. A must while in Quebec City.
Parks Canada has done a great job restoring this area so people can see how life was in Quebec City. It was fascinating to see the various artifacts they have dug up and restored. The guides inside were excellent and more than willing to explain... plus
It was a interesting peek at what the area around the chateau once looked like. It wasn't too expensive to enter and the display is set up very well. It is kind of fun being below the Dufferin Terrace.
We did not stay at the Fairmont le Chateau Frontenac. It is a beautiful hotel however. We did eat at their bistro Le Sam. Le Sam had great food, excellent service and a nice view of the St. Lawrence River. I enjoyed my food at Le Sam more than any other restaurant in Quebec City. The Fairmont is a major tourist attraction. It has very nice shops in the hotel. A little too crowded for me and my... plus
The museum is under the Terrasse Dufferin, yet has skylights from the Terrasse to give a peek into the museum. A very interesting archaeological dig showing some of Quebec's history. Well worth the very inexpensive entry fee (or free if you have your national park... plus
There is nothing you can say negative about this place.
It's classic old-world charm and attention to detail combined with high end service from an attentive staff make this a must-visit stop.
The river view rooms and the city view are both excellent.
You can't go wrong here.
This Hotel is a true Gem! We had an 8th floor room overlooking the river, really liked the view. It seems the entire city revolves around this hotel. Conveniently all of our tours began there and ended there. We felt the service was top notch (except for the requested 4 am wake up call that never came) and that you were important to them. Such an historical place with a ton of history taking... plus
Wow ! What a hotel. Worth staying here just to soak in the royal ambience around. Staff is courteous, helpful and very professional. You get many doses small historical snippets. The corridor you are walking though could have been used by Roosevelt or Churchill. Even if you aren't staying here, definitely worth a visit anytime you are on Quebec.
This is such a historical hotel and it has been always on top of my bucket list. But whenever I visit one of my bucket list places for some reason I would get disappointed and this place was no exception.
First, the check in experience was really good but I got woken up in the middle of the night because of the noise from a working truck around 3 am. I complained and they changed our room but...
plus
I love this hotel. It is historic and absolutely gorgeous. The service is outstanding, as is the location. However, upon my return this weekend, I immediately noticed something that was really, really puzzling and downright "offensive" in my mind. They are pumping some sort of perfume/artificial scent into the air in the lobby. And it is not the least bit subtle. It is completely overwhelming.... plus
The Fairmont le Chateau Frontenac is so charming and inviting, i could not imagine going back to Quebec and staying anywhere else!
From the moment we arrived, the service and the hotel (more like castle!) was spectacular and so inviting. Checking-in was easy, and the staff was sincerely so eager to help us with any requests we had, they were even able to move our room so that we could be on...
plus
Great hotel. Will update my review at the conclusion of my stay here. Definitely worth the upgrade to Fairmont Gold which allows exclusive access to the Gold lounge throughout the day for complimentary breakfast, happy hour warm foods, meats, cheeses, veggies, appetizer foods and evening desserts. Also around the clock waters. Coffee, teas tea sodas. They have Nespresso machines which make... plus
I'm only giving 4 because the room service was not satisfactory. Food was good, missing items x2.
Our room was lovely. Cleanliness was 4/5*
The view- astounding!
If you're only able to stop in the hotel bar for a drink- totally worth it.
Definitely A True Five
Built around 1892 by a railroad company this historical hotel has been a true icon for the city of Quebec. Setting high on a bluff overlooking the river on one side and the town on the other. We stayed five nights and were absolutely provided with excellent service and comfort. Staff was friendly, efficient and courteous. With our reservation check in was quick and easy....
plus
The most upscale hotel in the area and the site of several Hollywood films and even WWII meetings by the Allies.
I had the pleasure of staying at the Frontenac for a week-long conference, in the tail-end of February, when the temps were WELL below freezing for the highs each day. It could have been a disaster.
Instead, it became one of the top 3 hotel experiences of my life. The hotel staff there was one of the best I've ever seen, all staff included.
-- Front desk? Extremely helpful and friendly when...
plus
We had a couple drinks at the bar. Beautiful bar, pricey drinks. What else is new, it's a Fairmont. Bartender was very friendly and mixed some impressive concoctions.
Perfect location and Hotel, staff very accommodating and more than happy to assist any requests with room or excursions. Everything clean and tidy in the rooms although able to hear quite a bit of noise from the hallways from close by rooms.
Like all Fairmont hotels -- Beautiful, perfect location, and great service. Restaurants here are pretty good, but definitely convenient on a winter day. You can take the gondola down to shop. Really no complaints!
We visited Quebec City on Ontario’s long weekend in February and had this site on our must-do list but unfortunately it was closed Mondays and we had no way of knowing this prior unless we had visited the Tourist Info Centre. So word to the... plus
So far a very nice experience. Parking is a definite problem but is well handled when concern is expressed. The hotel is beautiful.
Service was great, hotel is comfy and cozy. Everything you need is there for you. Location is a prime for exploring around time. Only lacking was a sauna.
We came on a typical frigid day and surprised to be found with lots of people around us wrapping in layers and layers of clothing. Make sure to cling on your better half, because everyone really look almost the same in a snow jacket and scarf.
This hotel was busy despite of the post new year season. The quality of service I would say is amazing. None of the staff felt rushed, and they all smile...
plus
Beautiful in the skyline, good to walk-in and see the lobby, but that's about it. To expensive for the lack of amenities. Gym is so tiny for a huge hotel, pool small, and spa is small. The lobby is so busy you can't really enjoy it and there is no where in the hotel to go besides your room if say you wanted just a moment of quiet. Concierge could care less if was anything outside of the hotel.... plus
This hotel is unspeakably beautiful. It's like checking into Hogwarts. We got one of the newer junior suites and it was clean and chic and modern. The beds are very comfortable. The service is impeccable. Overall, we were so very happy we stayed there
Beautiful hotel and very historic. Lots to explore inside and around the hotel. Nice art pieces and Christmas trees this time of the year. Gym and sauna were nice too!
At check in, we were told by the front desk that our room had a lovely view of the courtyard. Our view consisted of an extended balcony outside our window covered with bird droppings. The room was small and the carpet appeared very old and outdated. Unfortunate as Quebec is a charming city.
Listen people. It's a beautiful hotel, but really it's best to walk around and see it- take some pics and take a tour. For $300 you get a room smaller than my walk-in closet. There's not enough room to pull the chair out from the desk, or even enough floor space for a small suitcase. You'll bump your elbow on the sink every time you sit on the toilet, and then you get to stare at the chipped... plus
The absolute most fabulous hotel experience ever.
I've stayed at numerous properties across the globe, including other Fairmont and high-end resorts and hotels, but Château Frontenac takes the top spot.
The hotel itself is a world treasure. It's location is perfect for seeing Quebec City. Even if you don't stay here, you must see this beautiful château.
The room was exquisite. They take care of...
plus
Just okay. It's a beautiful building on the outside and certainly a landmark of the Quebec City skyline. But I think that's where the romance ends. We stayed in a "renovated" room and I can't imagine what an original room would look like. Our room was nothing special even though it was a large corner room. Nothing about the Reno was at all appealing and the bathroom was a real disappointment.
...
plus
Despite the unreasonably high prices and gouging, I enjoyed my brief stay here. The hotel allows free WiFi but not in the rooms, where more money is required to get it. My next stay in QC will be at a smaller, more intimate and charismatic place. I didn't see any real value to staying here. Now I know. The hotel is an icon. It must meet a minimum standard. But it's bigger than its customers.
Beautiful hotel with lots of history. Must see place in Quebec City. Great for postcards photos. Hotel might stay is rather costly, so it's also a good idea to visit the hotel without staying over night.
My wife and I stayed there last weekend after having booked it through Hotwire at a slight discount. The hotel is quite nice downstairs, but downstairs doesn't butter the biscuit. The rooms are nice, but small. Despite the purported renovation that took place at some point in the past 10 years, the rooms could use a further update. The shower was quite small with poor water pressure. The... plus
Best experience ever . Little pricey but worth it !!
Service and location is amazing . It's in st Lawrence river in old Quebec. Everything is within walking distance . Terrace Dufferin is adjacent to hotel where there are street performers at most times .
I've wanted to visit Quebec City for a while, and I knew that whenever I made it up here, I wanted to stay at Chateau Frontenac. Being an elite Fairmont member certainly helped incentivize me as well, but the majestic setting of the hotel - as well as its prime location in the heart of old Quebec City - makes it an ideal hotel to stay at when visiting. Checking in was quite fast for us,... plus
One of the best hotels I stayed. The service was amazing and my toddler girl loved their swimming pool where she didn't want to leave !
One of the things I care in terms of grading the quality of the hotel is the comfortability of the mattress and the pillows. And I really loved their bed and was able to sleep without any back pain.
This hotel is truly a prominent monument where everybody...
plus
This hotel is by far worth the money. We splurged for the Or rooms and the specialized service and quiet ambiance was worth it. The turndown service was among the best of our trip so far - they leave water by the bed and close the window blinds for optimal sleeping. The staff were all exceptionally helpful - even despite the fact that they were crowded and busy.
There were tons of security...
plus
The hotel is breathtaking, so much history and the staff treat their patrons like royalty. The location of the hotel is in the perfect spot and is a must see. However, for such a fancy hotel I wish their beds were bit more comfortable. Also, because we travel with our service dog and their mascot is a dog you would think the city and the hotel is a bit more pet friendly. They had no problem... plus
This property, staff, and all of their amenities were the highlight of our Eastern Canada holiday. The Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac offers discerning service and accommodations. I felt like it was one of our best travel experiences and we are so grateful. Thank you Claudia at the front desk and Marc Antoine at the Concierge Lounge for your service excellence. Merci, et a la prochaine.
The most beautiful and historic hotel we've ever stayed.
This hotel was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980 and no wonder the entire hotel was like a huge museum. Historic scene every corner.
Including Queen Elizabeth, a lot of national leaders, politicians, celebrities were here.
Our room was junior suite on the royal floor. Though the price was much higher than the...

I've been to Quebec many times over the years and always admired the building in passing. This is my first stay here (on night 2 of 3) and everything has been amazing so far. The valet greeted us warmly at the door of our vehicle. The front desk staff greeted us on much the same manner and we were quickly on our way to our beautiful room.
The pool, gym and steam room are fantastic. I'm finally...

This is one of the best hotels ever. The staff and service were high-class, helpful and excellent. My wife and I had a wonderful time. While you're there visit one of their great restaurants. The 1608 is good for their fine wines as well as the meat & cheese platter and their flatbread was yummm. I highly recommend a room with a city view and the St. Lawrence river. But overall it was an honor... plus
It's not often you can stay in a hotel which is in and of itself a major sightseeing attraction. The Château Frontenac is exactly one of those. Situated on one of the highest hills in Vieux Québec (though not as high as the Citadelle), it lords over the rest of the city with its grandeur and imposing facade.
The actual hotel experience was certainly lovely, though perhaps not as regal as I...
plus
It was fantastic! It was elegant and I felt like a princess there. The English Tea was wonderful. We took a tour of the hotel and loved the theatrical presentation of the tour guides. I would recomend it to anyone that wants a "special treat".
We were totally satisfied with our accommodations at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. This hotel is the centerpiece of Old Quebec and if you have only one chance to visit here, you should definitely try to stay here, or at the very least take their guided tour of the property. The guides are dressed in period costumes and act their parts, offering a fun and historical glimpse of life at... plus
Fantastic, historic hotel that is a centerpieces of old Quebec. This is the place to stay in Quebec.
This is a beautiful historical hotel. When we arrived, we were told that our room had been upgraded to a suite. Naturally, we were not disappointed. Our room was extremely comfortable and the beds were "to die for." The down pillows, mattress, and duvet ensured an excellent night's sleep. We very much enjoyed our two nights' stay there and would highly recommend this hotel to others. For what... plus
Beautiful property and the views are great. Very friendly personnel. Very helpful. Have already recommended to others.
This hotel is FANTASTIC! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone, it's the PLACE TO BE in Quebec City. Everything about it is first class, better than first class. Quebec City is full of historical tourist sites...why not stay IN one??? You will be going there to see it anyways so why not stay there??? You won't regret in. This hotel is the ultimate in your Quebec experience. As well if you are... plus
I would highley recommend this hotel. I stayed at the Chateau 25 years ago and it lived up to my heightened memory of the hotel. I was not disappointed in the least. This was an excellent value for my money. All of my expectations were met or exceeded.
We arrived with the Princes Cruise group and they had to upgrade us to a suite! It was a beautiful weekend and a great bargain.
We had a wonderful stay in Quebec. This is the hotel to stay at. We loved the shoping in the hotel, We found the receptionists to be particularly friendly. Their recomendations for eating were top notch. Right now they are undergoing major renovations, but that did not seem to affect us in any substantial way and we look forward to a time when we came return again.
Excellent conceriege, beautiful location, comfortable rooms made for a wonderful christmas holiday. Dont forget to go dog sledding!
Location, Location, and location. Everything was in waking distance. THe friendly staff was very helpful and spoke great English. The only down side are the beds, they are not comfortable. If you have a bad back, the beds are not as great as a 5 star hotel in the States.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Frontenac for 3 nights over xmas. SO ROMANTIC! Le Cochon Dingue (The Crazy Pig in English) was the best breakfast I have EVER had...eggs benedict was fantastic. There are carriage rides around the city, and carolers in the square! The Frontenac was stunning, and decorated beautifully! The room we was ok. I think we both ecpected more for the price that is... plus
Highly recommended. If you want a memorable stay in Quebec, this is the hotel. Skoosh did a great job finding unbeatable rates and informing the hotel about our special requests at reservation. Perfect.
For a trip to remember, make sure that you stay at the best hotel in Quebec City. The Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac is an ancient monument and furthermore one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Not to be missed!
we loved our stay there. The staff was exceptionally helpful, rooms very accomadating. We are hoping to return again this coming winter! A+
The Chateau Frontenac is a beautiful hotel architecturally and historically. I would recommend anyone staying in Old Quebec to stay at this hotel, because it's a part of Canadian history. The staff were helpful and professional. We took the guided tour of the hotel and I would recommend it to anyone staying or just visiting the hotel. The Chateau Frontenac is a magical place and by staying... plus
Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. Expectations were met by friendly staff,beautiful cozy room. Acknowledgement of our honeymoon by way of a gift basket. Loved Quebec - we will return. No disappointments!
We spent an anniversary celebration at the Chateau Frontenac. I called ahead of time to make sure that they knew that it was our anniversary and our day was recognized with a note card and a box of chocolates - nice touch. Our room was pleasant, very clean and even offered a river view which we weren't expecting given the reduced room rate. We took the hotel tour and it is well worthwhile. My... plus
