We had the most amazing rooms on this trip. We stayed at the Fairmont's in both cities but we didn't get into the one in Ottawa until 1:00 am and we were beat. Jim had upgrade coupons that he'd mentioned and I heard the girl at the desk say we've given you a lovely 'suite'...We headed up and Jim said, "Well, it won't be much because it's only on the 2nd floor." We walk up to our door and there is a sign that says 'Prime Minister's Suite' and we both go, "Yeh, right." We open the door and I started to laugh. The damn place was almost as big as the old house! Full dining room, full kitchen, living room, huge bedroom, writing room (seriously), and on and on. The coolest refrigerator/freezer in the kitchen. It was really something. And sooooo old. It wasn't until the next day that I realized that all the amazing doors and stonework were actually plastic. Looked great though. The funniest part was it was 2 days later that we found a 2nd bathroom!
The kitchen was really so old. There was a door for the maids to come in and prepare dinner or whatever. There was a dumb-waiter...it must be such a great place for a wedding or reception. Very well done. We both loved it. We were only in it to sleep but what the heck.
So on to Quebec City and another awesome room at the Hotel Frontenac...
This time we got the Alfred Hitchcock Room
Very cool. Up in one of the turrets, 4 very, tiny, little windows that had sheers on that didn't pull back. So, you could always find our room from the outside...we were the one with the curtains tied in a knot. Why? Because the views were absolutely stunning!! We had a great time and would go back in a heart beat.



And of course, you gotta love the guy trying to make a few extra bucks.
This fellow was very good. He played every day and we could even hear him from our room which was so nice. There must have been another reason that he was still on the streets as he was truly very talented.

Cool photos, your room looks so fun. You should stay at the Bosman Hotel in Vancouver sometime. It is equally as dreamy.
Been there, done that and will never do it again!!! It was nice that you could use the toilet, wash your hands in the sink and your feet in the bathtub all at the same time...
