Excellent wine and cheese bar inside. You can pick drinks you like and get cheese to match. An Ottowan chef we met on our travels says they also make an exquisite Martini .

The majestic castle in Quebec, be sure to visit the lobby and walk the promenade. Best views and photos can be taken in Rue Dalhousie near the battery. (Where I took the picture attached)

Sam's bistro is nicely renovated and offers great views of the river and the prices at least for lunch were not obscene which is always important. Other the hotel is very fairytale-like!

Hailey Patrice

Such a beautiful place to visit even if you're not a guest of the hotel ! You must visit the bar , the drinks are expensive but well worth it!

Reena B-S

Even if you're not staying the night it's worth a visit inside to the restaurants , bars , shops and to see the beautiful architecture and painted ceilings.

Alejandro Johnson

A beautiful hotel here in Quebec City . Make sure to walk around and also go into the hotel to visit the wonderful restaurant and bar they have there.

Opened in 1893 as part of the Canadian Pacific Railway's system of grand hotels , it was also intended to host attendees of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair but wasn't finished in time.

Cortney Mills

the hotel has an hour long tour for $16. Also available to non-guests. terrace off of the pool area has great views and was empty each time we went.

I knew this was the perfect hotel for me when I walked in a saw a beautiful dog in the lobby to welcome us! Saying hello to Daphnie, the canine ambassador, was a joy each day.

Jonathan Levy

Iconic place to visit when in Quebec the view is just plain incredible !

Jeff Hu

If you go to Dufferin for breakfast , ask for mushroom omelette . Really really good.

Jason Brew

A truly stunning classic hotel with an incredible view at the top of historic old Quebec

Bobby Kennedy

There's a great app you can download that will take you through the history of the Chateau. But download it at home before you come because the public wifi in the hotel is very slow.

Lia Tada

Beautiful hotel !! I especially liked the pool, the fitness center , and the location. I would recommend staying in one of the renovated rooms .

Juh Claro Mendes

The hotel is the prettiest ever, everybody takes pics of it. You'll have to spend a lot to stay here, but it's worth if you want some "madame" and "monsieur" attending. Recommended!

Martin Dunlap

Ask for a high floor - city view - the 18th floor is amazing!

Ara Mamourian

Amazing selection of Scotch at the lobby lounge . Enjoyed an 18yr old Mcallan while looking over the St. Lawrence. Just beautiful. You can feel the history here.

Steve Shepherd

Honeymooned here. Highly recommend. Great rooms. Lots of history.

Sweet Vintage Lady

You need a hotel key to use the lobby restrooms . There are unlocked bathrooms when you Turn left as you go into the hotel then go up the stairs and to the left. (By the meeting rooms)

Kelly Gotkin

Very busy with tourists and guests coming and going, but so gorgeous it's worth it

MILSY L

Beautiful landmark of Quebec. If you need to use the restrooms , you need to swipe your room key. Or wait for someone to come out!

MrChingu

This is where the Korean drama, Goblin: The Great & Lonely Guardian was filmed !

The Taste Sheriff

Live your dream at the château. Amazing hotel , reasonably priced.

Wendell Lee

Iconic and huge! Great location in the Old area of Quebec.

Sophyan Julio

The cable car ride up was worth every dime of the $3 fare

Go Find Alice

Worth a visit. Great view of the lake from the bar !

Alexandre Marini Ísola

There is more history than sofistication at the restaurant . The food was just ok. But the building and the place are fantastic!

Adam Cameron

Currently (summer '13), the place ia in the middle of a renovation, I felt like I was staying at a best western.

James John (Jay) Cudney IV

The view was great, and everything was within walking distance.

Ara Mamourian

The mixed nuts in the bar are AMAZING! I've spent hundreds of dollars here over the weekend just to eat the snacks .

Kathryn D

Don't leave Quebec without visiting, at least for a cocktail .

Raymond Payne

While the hotel was nice I think a stay isn't worth it. Almost $500 a night for a nice but extremely tiny room with a king bed. Less than 2 ft between the bed and walls. Cheaper for better elsewhere.

Jodi Hunter

Its a beautiful building with a great view .

Dmitry Makarov

Go on a guided tour . It's fun and the guides are awesome. Tours start every hour.
