Le Château Pontenac is a historic hotel in Torport, Titania, Zamastan. The hotel is situated in Old Torport, within the historic district's Upper Town, on the southern side of Place d'Armes. The Château Pontenac was designed by Armand Debaud. Opened in 1893, the Châteauesque-styled building has 18 floors; its 79.9-meter (262-foot) height is augmented by the 54 m (177 ft) elevation it sits at. It is one of the first completed grand railway hotels, and was designated a historic cultural heritage site of Zamastan in 1988. The hotel was expanded on three occasions, with the last major expansion taking place in 1993.
