Château Frontenac is a luxury hotel located in the center of the Canadian city of Quebec and considered one of the city's main attractions.

It was built in 1893 by the architect Bruce Price for the railway company Canadian Pacific Railway in the style of historicism (Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance elements) and belonged to the chain of Canadian Pacific Hotels (now Fairmont Hotels and Resorts). In 1943, the Quadrant Conference took place here.

The hotel is named after Louis de Buade (1622-1698), Count of Frontenac and Palluau, the most important governor of the French colony of New France. It is located on the top of a hill overlooking the St. Lawrence River, above the Abraham Plain, where the British defeated the French in 1759 during the French and Indian wars, and then captured the city of Quebec.

Château Frontenac has been part of the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts hotel chain since October 2001 and is one of the most exclusive luxury hotels in Canada. It is also considered one of the most photographed hotels in the world.

In the Hitchcock film I confess (original title I Confess) the Château Frontenac can be seen several times and plays an important role in the search for a murderer, especially in the final scene.
