Why it made the list

What could be more romantic than a fairytale castle? The Chateau Frontenac has a long and storied history of attracting glamorous guests, including Grace Kelley, Alfred Hitchcock, Queen Elizabeth and Liz Taylor. The renovated Delux rooms have spa showers and King beds, but consider upgrading to a renovated Fairmont Gold Room (about $150 extra per night) on the 12th to 17th floor. Those rooms includes a spa bathroom, deluxe breakfast, newspapers, and access to a lounge with wine and gourmet appetizers before dinner, a concierge, private check-in and check-out.

Hungry young lovers will appreciate the decadent breakfast prepared by the hosts. (Order the French toast). The only drawback is the lack of king-sized beds.
