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.

We've stayed at this hotel several times over the last 9 years, and my family of 7, from youngest to oldest, all agree that it is by far our favorite hotel to stay at. Service at this hotel is top notch from start to finish. I had to call to make reservations since we need connecting rooms, and the lady on the phone was extremely friendly and pleasant and took care of everything. Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted by a bellman who took our bags and had our car valet parked. The check in staff were great and our bags immediately followed us up to our room. Our connecting rooms consisted of one large room with one king bed, a connecting hallway in between, and a one bedroom suite. It was very nice having three bathrooms and three showers for everyone to use. Turndown service was provided to convert the sleeper sofa into a bed. The maids did a very good job of keeping our rooms for the three nights we were there, we always had clean towels and all of the amenities were refreshed. During our stay, the staff was always friendly, often greeting us by our family name, which I am always impressed by seeing it is such a large hotel. Upon checkout, the bellman came up and loaded all of our luggage, escorted us to the lobby to checkout, and then down to the valet garage in the basement. He stayed with us until our car came and helped us load everything up. Aside from the service, the location is great. The pool is also a big hit with the kids, and the large locker rooms make it easy for them to shower up after getting out of the pool. Breakfast every monring in Roselys was also very popular with the entire family. This hotel isn't cheap, but for the service and location you get, you can't beat it. We look forward to another return stay. Read less

After a long flight from Europe to Montreal, we paced the airport for 9 hours before the airline ultimately decided to cancel our connecting flight to Edmonton owing to crew shortage. We were rebooked on a flight departing late the following afternoon, so we decided to make the best of it and stay at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth! We made a reservation via the Accor Website at 11pm and upon arrival - and sensing our long day and travel challenges - Lux and Axel, from the Fairmont QE front desk team provided us with a room upgrade and breakfast package. True to form - at the Fairmont QE, we slept well, dined well and had an most enjoyable morning hiking Mont Royal; and early afternoon cycling the beautiful city of Montreal to find and bring home some of the cities amazing bagels! Thanks to the entire Fairmont QE team for the hospitality - we are already looking forward to our next (planned) stay! GJAllan Read less

The price of the room is only a minor cost of the overall cost of your stay and the penny pinching by the hotel is ridiculous, given it is supposed to be a luxury hotel. You can see through the toilet tissue and there was never any lotion in the lotion container for our entire stay. There was enough coffee for one cup each for the two of us.… Read more
The price of the room is only a minor cost of the overall cost of your stay and the penny pinching by the hotel is ridiculous, given it is supposed to be a luxury hotel. You can see through the toilet tissue and there was never any lotion in the lotion container for our entire stay. There was enough coffee for one cup each for the two of us. Luggage storage is $2.00 per piece and this is the first hotel we have ever been charged for storage and we have stayed at probably 1,000 hotels in 200 countries in the past 10 years. Brunch: $85.00 per person plus tax and an expected large tip. Tiny tiny bathroom and dirty towels were not replaced. The sink stopper would not work so you had to constantly run the water. No offer to assist with the luggage from the four bellmen visiting with each other. Stay somewhere else and use the savings to have dinner and wine somewhere else. Good access to central station though. Read less

Wrong room / One bed instead of two reserved then had to argued with the reception who said we did sleep in 2 bed room. Had to get the manger to change the room Noisy room close to elevator 24hrs. Not a pleasant stay. Compensation was free breakfast.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating I booked this location on a travel site. I admit that I was torn on which hotel to select. I was seeking luxury.

This hotel isn’t 5 stars. It is not 4.5 or 4 stars. I expected small bathrooms based on prior reviews. The condition of the hall floors. The rate for the upgrade - quite pricey. I did not see it coming. Hallways need to be refreshed. Sheet quality and product care selection- Nope!
