The hotel

A local landmark with a legendary story, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth was the setting for John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s famous bed-in for peace in 1969 – and is where Lennon wrote and recorded Give Peace a Chance. Today, it’s still inspiring guests, thanks to a huge revamp in 2017 that’s transformed social spaces like the wellness centre and sleek indoor pool, and its dining venues, including the elegant Rosélys restaurant, sophisticated Nacarat cocktail bar, and cool contemporary coffee hangout, Kréma. And it’s kept its progressive and creative edge at its urban market, Artisans, where local purveyors and gourmet geniuses share their culinary creations.

Arriving by train it was a welcome treat to take a few escalators and then turn left into the lobby of the hotel. No taxis or waiting, you have arrived! I had booked well in advance and had access to a special rate which turned out to be a substantial savings from the current going rate. Staff were top notch, the bed extra comfortable and the view fantastic. I could walk everywhere I needed to go, the Bell Centre, excellent restaurants and sight seeing. Also enjoyed both room service and a few bites in their Roselys Restaurant. I would stay there again. Attention to any concerns were dealt with effectively and efficiently. Was given a beautiful “sweets” tray for having to change rooms. Spectacular view! Read less

Room is lovely and the meeting rooms are spacious and well lit. One even had 2 large swings that you could use. The shower is excellent and the hotel is very quiet considering how large it is. The location is great and you have elevator access to the train station and shops below.

Very kind staff, and really comfortable room. No complaints. Awesome location. My only comment would be the minibar, I had not touched the fridge, and the front desk staff mentioned that I had removed a beverage. I hate those censored refrigerators, as they are not accurate and it takes away the ability for the guests to use the fridge

This was our last stop on a round the world trip before heading to UK after a nightmare time with Air Canada we arrived shattered Check in was good and the room clean and tidy albeit a little compact We were on 14th floor with a good view at the front We used the restaurant one night and we would say good average but staff excellent We returned one day to find a group of people all drinking at the end of the corridor - old enough to know this nouse wasn’t acceptable security dealt with it swiftly The concierge team are excellent and special thanks to Simon who was just what we needed someone who listens and helps Read less
