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.

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

We had a wonderful 7 night stay in March 2024 at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth hotel in central Montreal. Restaurant, cafes and bars are excellent and staff are beyond compare. Would thoroughly recommend the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth hotel, whatever the reason for your visit to Montreal.

I stayed for a week as part of a British Airways flights + hotel package, and from the hotels in BA's list I chose this one for its proximity to the Centre Bell - I was in Montreal to attend the ISU World Figure Skating Championships. I absolutely fell in love with the hotel - honestly, if I had the money I would live there. On arrival I was offered an upgrade to a 19th floor room, it was spectacularly good, spacious, clean, and providing every comfort I needed. The bed was blissfully comfortable. I know the hotel sells its range of bedding online, but I don't think they ship to the UK otherwise I would be ordering pillows. The hotel was pretty much full during our stay but even so it was very quiet - no noise of voices or TVs from neighbouring rooms, and no sound of doors closing. So there was nothing to disturb sleep. The hotel staff were brilliant, fluent in English and French and very patient with me as I endeavoured to improve my French speaking. They seem like a happy team, in whatever area of the hotel they work - reception, housekeeping, and the bars and eating areas. The hotel clearly chooses its staff well. The variety of eating areas was appreciated, so I did breakfast in Artisans where there was always seating available, occasionally used Krema for coffee, tried the bar on the first night and then the restaurant/bar on subsequent nights. My only slight criticism is the lack of vegetarian main courses. I ordered a cheese board for sharing with my sister, who was staying with her husband in another room, and it really wasn't enough for a dinner. At the end of the meal, a waiter told us that the chef would have been willing to prepare something vegetarian for us, but by then it was too late. Perhaps a nice pasta dish in a tangy sauce, or a lentil ragout, just something simple and easy for the kitchen to produce. I can produce a list of suggestions if wanted! The icing on the cake for me and my companions was that many of the athletes and their coaches were also staying at the hotel throughout the competition, so the hotel was buzzing with excitement and we felt as if we were part of the skating world, for a little while. The hotel had 'Montreal 2024' displays everywhere, with the World Championships logo, and it was just perfect. Just one question - can I come back to my lovely room and stay a month? ;-) Read less
