Hotel Chateau Frontenac
Any feed back on this hotel? We were booked there through Air France & I'm wondering after hearing of displeasure from people with AF bookings @ The Meridien $159 per nite w/continental breakfast beginning 12-29 for 8 nights. 4stars Louis XV furnishings??? Reasonable places to eat nearby? Any input is appreciated. Jerald

For atmosphere and location, it's impossible to do any better than the Frontenac in Quebec. <BR>That being said, the rooms themselves are only average. The second time I visited I opted to stay at Loews Le Concord, much more modern but a little more out of the way. <BR>You won't have any trouble finding restaurants from the Frontenac - there are good ones everywhere in that area.

You may want to check this web site out. www.parishotels.com. I checked the section near the Arc de Triomphe but did not see this hotel. You many also try going to www.yahoo.fr and do a search for this hotel.

Stayed <BR>there in 85 and 88, were very satisified both times, plenty of ristorantes and shops around and a block <BR>off the Champs Elysees.. <BR>Richard of La Grange Park, Il... <BR> <BR> <BR>

I spent 3 months in a pension in Quebec in summer 1957. Lovely <BR>time, altho I was seriously broke. One great remedy for my straitened <BR>circumstances was to go into the Frontenac's lounge area and sit <BR>on the overstuffed chairs and sofas and nudge my fingers under <BR>the upholstery where thanks to the well-heeled clientele there was <BR>an immense trove of loose change, By shifting from place to place <BR>I could find enough to pay for an evening's wassail & have enough <BR>for morning coffee in a cafe. Of course a couple of the hotel staff were <BR>wise to my ploy, but a quarter here and there fended them off.
