Description
The Delta Hotels Bessborough is a four-star (Canadian Star Quality Assurance), ten-story hotel in Downtown Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The hotel is a historical landmark in Saskatoon and is known for its castle-like appearance. The hotel was built by the Canadian National Railway from 1928 to 1932 and is designed in the same Château-style as many of Canada's other railway hotels. Although it is still referred to as "The Bessborough Hotel," many people have adopted an abbreviated form, known as "The Bess" (pronounced "Bez"). The landmark provides a picturesque eastern terminating vista for Saskatoon's 21st Street East. It is also a view terminus on Spadina Crescent from points south of the hotel. (taken from Wikipedia)

It reminds me of the hotel in Quebec City. Amazing point of view with incredible natural framing. This is a killer image, Blair! L/F/tw

Yes, it's still a perennial symbol of Saskatoon. My folks spent their honeymoon here 67 years ago. Thanks for the comment and V/L/F
