Project history
Renovation of 8 Heritage Suites
The eight Heritage Suites were completely renovated by QMD and then opened to the public as part of the anniversary celebrations in 2018. Named after iconic celebrities who have stayed at the Château Frontenac, the suites are characteristic of the Château's history and a testament to its prestige. QMD has created a project that embodies elegance, refinement and attention to detail.

This project also involved much work in a hotel that was constantly operating. As usual, we could do the work discreetly without disturbing hotel guests or damaging the Château's reputation.

QMD was also commissioned to restore the hotel's 129,000 sq. ft. six-level underground parking lot.

Another mandate involved the renovation of the brickwork and windows of the Citadelle Tower, which overlooks the St. Lawrence River and the Dufferin Terrace. The historical importance of the tower and its location in a particularly busy tourist and commercial area meant that the work required special attention.

Challenges
  • Renovation of eight luxury suites in an existing hotel.
  • Complete reconstruction of all six floors of the parking lot.
  • Parking lot work to be carried out over five years.
  • Renovating the brickwork and windows of the Citadelle Tower.
  • Work in a busy tourist and commercial area.
