August 24, 2007, Newsletter Issue #5: Quebec Luxury Hotel: Fairmont Le Château Frontenac

Tip of the Week

Supposedly the most photographed hotel in the world, the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac certainly can justify such a claim. The Canada luxury hotel looks like a fairy-tale castle and was built in 1893. It sits on a cliff above the St. Lawrence River. In the late 19th century, William Van Horne, General Manager of Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway, began building the hotel as the ideal stopover for CP travelers and it remains an icon today. The hotel made the 2007 T+L 500 in Travel + Leisure magazine and 2007 Condé Nast Traveler Gold List and offers all the usual Fairmont property amenities.
