Quebec City, Canada
Glad to leave Montreal. Not one of my favourite places. Feels grubby.
Am in need of a bit of cleanliness.
So after three and half hours travelling by train to Quebec City you can imagine my delight as I check in to the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac Hotel (https://www.fairmont.com/frontenac-quebec/).
Quebec’s most luxurious. And possibly the world’s most photographed hotel.
Architecturally stunning. Built like a chateau in 1893 as part of the Canadian Pacific Railway hotels built across Canada as part of an expanding rail network. To attract high end tourism and increase the use of the railways by the public. Its tower was later added in the 1920s.
Stunning views of the citadel and the old town of Quebec City.
Yes.
This will do for a few days, dear reader.
This will do.
