A Grand Hotel
This is the Chateau Frontenac hotel, one of the grand railway hotels built by the Canadian Pacific Railways in the late 1800s. It was built in 1893 and sits at the edge of the upper old Quebec City and looks down across this wide boardwalk to the St Lawrence River. There are over 600 rooms in the hotel which is a designated historic site.
Wow, that is simply incredible and so beautiful. Imagine trying to manage a place that large.
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of beds to be made. Imagine the daily laundry load!
ReplyDeleteI just mentioned that hotel in a comment today.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing hotel, it's absolutely beautiful and huge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand hotel. I would imagine it is now used for many conventions as they have the facilities for a large number of people. Those railroad hotels added spots of splendor and comfort to the countryside.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI remember a couple of these grand hotels in western Canada, but this one might outdo them.
ReplyDeleteWow, how come I never heard of this before- thank you, RedPat, this is amazing! Beautiful. Will you do a tour sometime and share pics from the interior? I found a few online, pretty stunning.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to stay at the Chateau ever since my parents stayed there. I love the architecture and beauty and romantic vibes.
ReplyDeleteGrand it is.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is grand! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt has quite a castle-like appearance. It must be quite a hassle to manage such a large hotel.
ReplyDeleteGreat building! Are you okay yet?
ReplyDeleteIt is a magnificent building.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it something?!
