Chateau Frontenac, Quebec city

The Chateau Frontenac is a grand hotel in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, which is operated as Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980. Prior to the building of the hotel, the site was occupied by the Chateau Haldimand, residence of the British colonial governors of Lower Canada and Quebec. The hotel is generally recognized as the most photographed hotel in the world, largely due to its prominence in the skyline of Quebec City. The Chateau Frontenac was designed by American architect Bruce Price, as one of a series of "château" style hotels built for the Canadian Pacific Railway company  during the late 19th and early 20th centuries; the newer portions of the hotel, including the central tower (1924), were designed by William Sutherland Maxwell. CPR's policy was to promote luxury tourism by appealing to wealthy travelers.  Source
