Frontenac Club

In 1906, the Bank relocated and the building was sold to the Frontenac Club, established by leading Kingstonians, garrison officers, faculty of Queen's University and the Royal Military College, and members of the 14th Batallion (Princess of Wales' Own Rifles) Officer's Club. The Frontenac Club's guest book provides an informative perspective of Ki... ngston's history. Eight of the guest rooms at the Inn are named after individuals who were guests at the original Club. The Frontenac Club closed its doors in the early 30's, a victim of the Depression. In 1935, the Club was sold and converted into a family home and apartments. Over the next seventy years, the Frontenac Club provided housing for a host of Kingston writers, artists and students. Four of the guest rooms at the Inn are named after those who lived in this eclectic building. Their stories are legendary. Renovated by Beare Weatherup and Susan Shaw, fourth owners of the building in the past 156 years, the Frontenac Club Inn was established in 2000. Located in Kingston's historic downtown, the Frontenac Club Inn offers visitors fourteen guest rooms, including delicious breakfasts, in a relaxed and comfortable setting. The Inn is conveniently located within walking distance of the waterfront, the 1000 Islands Boat Cruises, the Grand Theatre and K-ROCK Centre.
