About this place
The Château Frontenac presides over lanes of stone houses and glowing shopfronts, a toboggan run has hurtled along the Dufferin Terrace since 1884, and from January you can drink cocktails in an actual ice hotel. Come during February's Winter Carnival, and pack for minus twenty — the cold here is not a metaphor.
