Bienvenue a Quebec!

We arrived in Quebec on June 11, 2014 for a three night stay at a fairy tale like hotel Fairmont Château Frontenac. When Vlad first showed me photos of Frontenac a few weeks ago, I was enamored from the start and automatically thought of the wonderful photos I would have a chance to take. Turns out I am not alone in this thinking; according to an online article I read, Frontenac is the world's most photographed hotel due to its prominence in the skyline of the city. We decided that it would be wonderful to stay in a room in one of the spiky towers. Combining our hotel.com points and the hotel sale price, we got a pretty decent deal and made it our fancier part of the honeymoon. 

Since Quebec is the French speaking part of Canada, the staff of the hotel greeted us in both French and English. They were very pleasant and accommodating. To be perfectly honest, the inside of this 120 year old hotel is not extremely special but the outside makes up for it.  There is a fancy restaurant, pool, small gym, some fancy shops, as well as Starbucks on premises. Downstairs is an area with photos and old relics, sort of like a mini-museum, dedicated to the history of the hotel which Vlad enjoyed reading. 

Here are some photos of our hotel. 

Here we are on the boardwalk in front of the hotel. Selfie time!
