Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

Montreal’s stately Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth never wants for company, thanks to more than 40 civic festivals and celebrations each year. In fact, with 1,039 well-appointed guest rooms, including 100 suites, this 50-year-old landmark frequently makes history, as it did when Beatle John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their famous 1969 “bed-in” for peace in suite 1742 and seven years later when it served as the headquarters for the 1976 Summer Olympics.

Unlike most Montreal premier hotels, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth was designed and built to host corporate events, with a generous 46,500 square feet of flexible event space and 23 versatile function rooms that can accommodate up to 2,000 for dinner. No visit would be complete without a stroll through the distinctive French shops, galleries, and bistros of Old Montreal. There are no packages available at this time.

During construction, it was hailed as a masterpiece of innovation. At the time, it was the second largest hotel in the Commonwealth and the first hotel in the world to offer air conditioning and electronically controlled heating. Its construction above Central Station posed a unique challenge and necessitated the most modern and ambitious building methods of the time. Specifically designed to offer the most meeting space and modern conveniences, the hotel was constructed with the bold objective of being the ideal hotel for conventions. It remains the largest hotel East of Toronto and the fourth largest hotel in Canada. The hotel received the 2007 Readers Choice Award from M&IT magazine as one of the top meeting venues for service excellence in Canada.
