Sleeping like Royalty: The Best Castle Hotels in the World

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac – Quebec City, Canada

Designed as part of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s late 19th century initiative to attract more wealthy travelers, Le Chateau Frontenac was one of the most luxurious hotels in North America at the time. It opened in 1893 and offered a majestic view of the surrounding area as one of Quebec’s tallest buildings; plus, it’s perched atop a cliffside adjacent to the Saint Lawrence River. Today, Quebec’s Old City is a UNESCO heritage site, and the Frontenac’s location is ideal for exploring the city (and enjoying some delicious poutine).

Staff at Chateau Frontenac speak both English and French, and are praised for their warm service in many reviews. While the rooms are comfortable and have all the basics, it is the property’s history, beauty, and impeccable service that make it stand out. Rooms begin at $250.
