Possibly the most prestigious hotel in eastern Canada, the Chateau Frontenac has been greatly expanded since 1900.
Montgomery Clift didn't want to look up
In Hitchcock's "I Confess" (1953), Montgomery Clift plays a priest who is charged with murder. In one scene, the priest exits the courthouse into a hostile crowd; he looks up to see people staring down at him from a window in the Chateau Frontenac.
It was reliably reported that Clift, a Method actor, caused considerable delay in shooting because he wasn't convinced the priest had "motivation" to look up.
