A Little Time Away. A Lot to Remember.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself is go somewhere beautiful. Spend four days in Québec City, staying at the legendary Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Discover extraordinary places, enjoy wonderful company, and find time for yourself along the way. Come with a friend, your sister, your daughter—or simply come on your own. Everything is thoughtfully arranged. All you have to do is enjoy it.
Three Nights at the Château—Time to Treat Yourself
Wake up at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac with Old Québec right outside your door. There’s time for boutiques, café stops, photographs with friends and relaxed moments inside one of Canada’s most iconic hotels.
The Château is more than where you’ll sleep—it is part of the experience. Explore its historic surroundings, enjoy breakfast each morning and return after every adventure knowing you are already in the heart of Québec City.
Unpack once, settle into your beautiful surroundings, and enjoy the pleasure of staying somewhere truly extraordinary.
Step Inside a World Sculpted from Ice
Discover Hôtel de Glace—North America's only ice hotel, a spectacular winter wonderland just outside Québec City.
During our private, one-hour guided tour, explore beautifully sculpted ice corridors, imaginative themed suites, sparkling sculptures, and the breathtaking ice chapel.
Then raise a glass to the experience with an Aurore Boréale cocktail served in a hand-carved ice glass.
Because a retreat should be anything but ordinary.
