Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth - Montreal

Combining chic 1960s style with contemporary design in the heart of downtown Montreal, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth is perfectly positioned for a stylish stay in the city. It provides a direct connection to rail services via the Underground City whilst being close to the 17th Century Old City, as well as a modern fitness centre, indoor pool and spa, and host of tempting dining options.

The hotel is directly connected to Montreal’s Underground City – a vast network of metro stations and shopping malls, spanning roughly 20 miles – making venturing about the city simple, come rain or shine, or snow. It’s less than a mile from Old Montreal, where the staggering Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal is found, along with Saint-Paul Street – one of the city’s oldest streets, and Bonsecours Market. Mount Royal, a landmark mountain in the city with a mass of green spaces, a heritage site and incredible views, is a mile and a half to the west. Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport is 12 miles’ distance.

Referencing the hotel’s 60s origins, there’s a distinct retro theme throughout. Accommodation pairs this with luxe modern comforts, from Nespresso machines to Le Labo toiletries and Chromecast streaming devices. Fairmont Rooms feature psychedelic feature walls balanced with white bedlinen, white walls and pale carpets. Deluxe Rooms feature a chic black seating area, while Deluxe View Rooms enjoy panoramic views of the city and Mary Queen of the World Cathedral. Upgrade to a Junior Suite or One Bedroom Suite for more space. Fairmont Gold Rooms and Suites feature moody blue walls and geometric carpets, as well as access to the Panoramic Fairmont Gold Lounge on the top floor, where you can tuck into a continental breakfast and enjoy drinks and snacks later in the day. On the 17th floor, four rooms once occupied by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on their 1969 honeymoon have been transformed into a two-bedroom suite, filled with relics from their ‘bed-in for peace.’ It’s even where they recorded Give Peace A Chance.
