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.

This hotel is nice but not as nice as other Fairmont properties I have been to. The rooms are quite small and the bathrooms are tiny. The breakfast buffet was very high quality, and the fitness center was very large and nice. The indoor swimming pool was nice for exercising, though the hot tub was lukewarm only. This hotel is very convenient for making rail connections as it connects directly to the main train station.

Our experience at The Queen Elizabeth was absolutely incredible! The location is perfect – central, convenient, and ideal for exploring every part of the city. From the very beginning, the service was outstanding: we were contacted on the day of our arrival to confirm our check-in time, and shortly after, we received an email letting us know that our room was ready – and it was still morning!
We were also pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade, which made our stay even more special. The breakfast service was another highlight – very professional and personalized, which made for a truly enjoyable start for the day.
The hotel also offers excellent facilities, including a spacious 24-hour fitness center and a pool with a Jacuzzi – perfect for relaxing after a long day. The room was perfectly equipped, and the bedding was honestly among the most comfortable we've ever experienced.
Thanks for everything!
