Quebec City, Canada: Part 3 (Le Chateau Frontenac)

The hotel Michael chose was the Le Chateau Frontenac, a hotel with a magnificient history. It is a mammoth structure and according to many sources and much of the literature that I've read, it has the distinction of being "the most photographed hotel in the world."

Many historical figures have stayed here, and many decisions have been made at the hotel. Winston Churchill, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and other important figures from World War II had made important strategic decisions at the hotel including the invasion of Normandy. Princess Anne of England also stayed at this hotel during this time.

We spent a lot of time exploring the inside of the hotel floor by floor. On the second and third floors are plenty of black and white pictures of the hotel's history. It was eerie in one way because the hallways were very long and never seemed to end (ala "The Shining").



The view from our room in Le Chateau Frontenac ... not the St. Lawrence River, but it is still easy on the eyes!
