Fairmont the Queen Elizabeth | Montreal, Canada | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Montreal, Canada

5 stars

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.

“A decent hotel with good services and comfortable bed”

Sep 16, 2025Justin G

Decent hotel but outdated decor in the rooms. The shower door would not seal and leaked and there was no way to prevent it. We wasted many clean towels each time we took a shower to then have to clean up the water off the floor. It is definitely in need of a redesign as rooms looked like 2005, not 2025. Just painting and better artwork would make all the difference (and a new shower door!). The rooftop bar was excellent as was the coffee shop and market in the lobby. The dark and drab feeling you get starts when you walk off the elevator. It is a combination of lighting and decor that need to be updated. The bed was very comfortable as per Fairmont expectation. It was a quiet room (Jr. Suite) with lots of extra space which we loved. Compared to the Toronto Fairmont which we stayed in the nights before Montreal, it was a big difference. Thee hotel is not as near luxury as Toronto and no where near as grand.

“Deeply Disappointed – Vehicle Damaged in Valet Custody, No Accountability”

Sep 15, 2025Libby G

My family and I just returned from our very first trip to Canada. We stayed five nights at Fairmont Tremblant and five nights at Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, choosing the Fairmont brand because of its reputation for excellence. We spent thousands of dollars on this trip and expected professionalism and accountability from a hotel of this caliber. Unfortunately, what happened in Montreal left us extremely disappointed. We entrusted our car to the Indigo valet at Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. About 19 hours later, when I picked it up, the tire pressure alarm went off before I even exited the garage. The tire was rapidly losing air. I pulled over immediately, and multiple Fairmont staff at the entrance saw what appeared to be a deep slash across the sidewall of the tire. Canadian Tire later inspected it and confirmed there was no nail or puncture object - only damage consistent with a cut. We reported this to Indigo and to the hotel manager, who promised Fairmont would be involved in the investigation. Indigo claimed their “very detailed cameras” would show what happened. After weeks of back and forth, Indigo denied responsibility, stating the car was “in perfect condition leaving the garage.” That statement is factually impossible, as the tire was flat and observed by staff right outside the garage at the moment of pickup. Fairmont then sided with Indigo and simply expressed “sympathy,” offering no accountability whatsoever. What is most troubling is not just the damage to the vehicle, but the dismissive way both Indigo and Fairmont handled the situation. A premium hotel chain should not stand behind a partner who fails to take responsibility, nor should they break assurances to a guest who spent significant money and trusted their brand. We expected far better from Fairmont. Unfortunately, this experience overshadowed an otherwise wonderful trip to Canada and has left us questioning whether we would ever stay with this brand again.

“Disappointed”

Sep 10, 2025Carolyn S

We booked through Amex preferred hotels. We were with 2 other couples, one of whom does not have Amex. They were upgraded to suites. We were not. After we complained we were upgraded but that was after the desk agent said none were available. The other couples got welcome gifts and turn down service while we got neither. Our original key cards didn’t work so we had to go back down with all of our luggage. This was not our best experience. We informed Amex.
