About this place Fairmont Queen Elizabeth

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth, a downtown Montreal hotel famed for John Lennon’s 1969 Bed‑In, mixes historic cachet with standard luxury amenities. Sitting on René‑Lévesque Boulevard, the tower literally rides over Central Station and plugs into the Underground City, so you can slip from a train to the lobby without stepping outside. The suite where Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their peace protest is still on the market, a quirky nod to a moment that birthed “Give Peace a Chance.” Inside, there’s a fitness centre, a bar and a couple of restaurants; the Eaton Centre lies about 400 m away underground, making a quick shopping dash easy. The hotel brands itself as mainstream and gay‑friendly—not a gay venue—but it’s a short Metro ride east to the Gay Village on Sainte‑Catherine Est (Beaudry). Google rates it 4.4 stars.

We were warmly welcomed and given excellent advice by Pascal, who even went out of his way to ensure we were having a good time during our stay! The hotel is comfortable and offers all the essential services, in addition to being located in the heart of downtown Montreal.
