Restoration of the Château Frontenac’s famous copper roof was a major part of the project, with extensive masonry work undertaken to protect the building’s integrity.
The renovation has transformed close to 330 rooms and created a new room category called Deluxe Contemporary.
Fairmont Gold, the boutique hotel within the Château, now features 60 rooms compared with the previous 46, and offers views over Quebec City and the St. Lawrence River. Its private lounge has also been expanded.
The project has added three new culinary concepts: Le Champlain restaurant, the hotel’s new signature dining room; Le 1608 wine and cheese bar; and Le Sam bistro.
