Château Frontenac

The Château Frontenac hotel in Old Quebec City is the most photographed hotel in the world according to Guinness World Records, its copper-roofed turrets and steeply pitched green roofline commanding Cape Diamond above the St. Lawrence River. Opened in 1893 as a Canadian Pacific Railway grand hotel and designed by architect Bruce Price in the Château style, the building anchors the visual identity of both Upper Town and the broader Quebec City skyline. The Dufferin Terrace boardwalk in front of the hotel provides open views east along the river.
