A turreted castle hotel above stone walls and a wide river horizon.
Quebec City is easiest to read through Chateau Frontenac, Old Quebec walls, and St. Lawrence waterfront. A historic hilltop city led by a castle-like hotel and a low stone roofline. A grand hotel with steep copper roofs and several turrets dominates the hill. Low stone fortifications create a strong horizontal base beneath the hotel. The river edge opens the composition below the historic upper town. The Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac rises above Old Quebec with multiple turrets, steep roofs and a central tower. The rest of the skyline is low and historic, with the St. Lawrence River opening the horizon and a few modern blocks kept in the background. If the outline has a turreted castle hotel above stone walls and a wide river horizon, choose Quebec City. The combination matters more than any single building, especially when the skyline is simplified into one clean game silhouette.
