Photographer's Note
This is a partial view of a luxury hotel with 618 rooms. It defines the Québec City skyline and it is a National Historic Site of Canada. It 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, a well-known Canadian architect. The Château Frontenac opened in 1893, and 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.
A nice view of the entire building is available

Hello Barnabas,
what an impressive this architecture is? Awesome captured and presented of thisd luxury hotel. Wonderfully capture from hight POV. Great colors, sharpness, clarity of sdo many details. I wonder if is possible to shoot whole building? Of course we have to have lot of space to shoot. Not always we can. Anyway, I really like it and it is very beautiful. Thank you.
All the best and have a great day,
Barbara.

Hi Barnabas
I don't think we could ask for a better view or angle on this amazing building. What a place! The building has all the feel of a beautiful chateau, but the added benefit of being so huge. This must be a beautiful part of the city skyline with its romantic turrets and spires. Thanks again
Noel
