History

The Château Frontenac was designed by American architect Bruce Price, as one of a series of 'château' style hotels built for the Canadian Pacific Railway company (aka CPR) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The newer portions of the hotel, including the central tower, were designed by William Sutherland Maxwell. CPR's policy was to promote luxury tourism by appealing to wealthy travelers.

The Château Frontenac opened in 1893, only 6 years after the Banff Springs Hotel, which was owned by the same company and similar in style.

A major reason for the construction of the Chateau Frontenac was to accommodate tourists for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair; however, the hotel was never finished in time. 

The Château Frontenac was named after Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac, who was governor of the colony of New France from 1672 to 1682 and 1689 to 1698. The Château was built near the historic Citadelle, the construction of which Frontenac had begun at the end of the 17th century.
