It should be noted that the Chateau Frontenac was never intended to be a defensive structure of any kind: it was a hotel from the very beginning, part of a network of hotels built around the same time along the cross-country rail lines catering to travellers; I believe they’re all owned by Fairmont now.
The hotels were all built "in the style" of european castles of the late middle-ages/early renaissance.

It’s not this saturated in real life.
Shame to see such a beauty spot marred by such a shopped photo.

It also has a little shop in it that sells nothing but maple sugar related items.
