Introduction
Fairmont Le Château Frontenac crowns the cliff above Old Québec's harbour—a château-style hotel opened in 1881 and often called 'the most photographed hotel in the world'. Its green-copper roofs and soaring turret read like a fairy-tale castle over the St. Lawrence and Lower Town, the undisputed star of the skyline. Whether staying or not, visitors can step into its Gilded-Age lobby or join a tour of century-old secrets. In winter the frozen square and river make a northern tableau; in summer it anchors old-town walks and calèche rides.
