Summary
| Description |
English: Fairmont Château Frontenac, very early in the morning.
In our days à 4-stars-establishment, built in 1892 to 1893, the hotel was the first of many Châteaux-style hotels, erected by Canada's railway companies. Enhanced by a magnificent site, the building recalls the romantic character of several of the 14th- and 15th-century châteaux, situated in France's Loire valley. Enlarged four times, the original design was adapted from these models by architect Bruce Price, who abandoned classical symmetry in favour of the picturesque eclecticism, which was very popular at the time. It has become the dominant landmark of Quebec City. |
