Frommer's Review

Québec's magical "castle" opened in 1893 and has been wowing visiting royalty and other guests ever since. Luxurious rooms are outfitted with elegant château furnishings, bathrooms have marble touches, and more than 500 rooms were renovated in a 3-year project that finished in 2008. Anyone can stay on the more princely (and pricey) Fairmont Gold floors, which have a separate concierge and a lounge with an honor bar in the afternoons and breakfast in the mornings. Room prices depend on size, location, how recently the room was renovated, and view, with river views garnering top dollar, but lower-priced rooms overlooking the inner courtyard are appealing, too: The gabled roofs they look onto are quite romantic, and children might imagine Harry Potter swooping by in a Quidditch match. Known locally as "the Château," the hotel was built in phases, following the landline, so the wide halls take crooked paths. Santrol, a trained guide dog, is the hotel's new "canine ambassador" and greets guests in the lobby. The Véranda Saint-Laurent is a casual piano bar with dancing on Friday nights.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; bar; indoor pool and kiddie pool w/outdoor terrace; expansive health club and spa; children's programs; concierge; room service; babysitting; concierge-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
