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.

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!

I stayed multiple nights in June. Fairmont gold suite - huge appointed bathroom. Griffintown suite - slightly bigger than Gold Suite. Outremont suite- huge, dark. Each suite had pros and cons. What set them apart was the team behind. Andrew, Imene at Roselyn, Annie Gold and the housekeeping staffs made our different stays Unique. I hD challenges, yet they were solved by these unique individuals. I highly appreciate that. I love how polyvalent the staffs are. They will listen to your concerns and pay attention to what is needed. The Roselyn has amazing Breakfast features, dinner was excellent with Yves. Gold Lounge is outstanding with both food and service while perking a view. The pool is not special, yet clean and updated. Spa was great. Cant wait to return. Read less

Staff is nice but this hotel is too big/busy for its own good and I won’t be staying there again. Valet parking scratched my car. The lobby feels like a mall, always busy and loud. You need something from the front desk? Be prepared to wait 15+ minutes no matter what time of day. Included breakfast? You’ll need to wait 20 minutes to be… Read more
Staff is nice but this hotel is too big/busy for its own good and I won’t be staying there again. Valet parking scratched my car. The lobby feels like a mall, always busy and loud. You need something from the front desk? Be prepared to wait 15+ minutes no matter what time of day. Included breakfast? You’ll need to wait 20 minutes to be seated. No streaming apps on the TV, was told only suites get chromecast (this is in the year 2024). You can’t refrigerate your own beverages! You want cold water in the middle of the night? Well you have to drink their $8 a bottle water that tastes horrible! All the snacks in the mini bar were expired and covered in dust. Pool? Will be full with no beds available at all times. Bed sheets were sub par, duvet and covers weren’t secured together just layered on top of each other and released so much dust/feathers everything in the room will be covered. Elevators are also a mess. The standard king room is pretty small compared to other hotels I’ve stayed in Montreal but wouldn’t be a deal breaker if it wasn’t for all the other issues. Read less
