More about Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

What to expect: The expansive lobby is decorated with Canadian art. Wingback chairs, sofas, and loveseats surround a large fireplace. Guests enjoy high tea every afternoon in the serene Tea Lounge. Located above the train station, the hotel attracts businesspeople during the week, and families on weekends. John Lennon wrote "Give Peace a Chance" here during his 1969 "Bed-In for Peace" with Yoko Ono.
Amenity highlights: Built in 1958, and most recently renovated in 2003, the hotel is now equipped with ramps and accessible in all public areas and many guestrooms. Common areas have wireless high-speed Internet access (fee). The hotel is one of the original gateways to Montréal's extensive underground city, so guests can wander miles of shops, cafés, and restaurants without an overcoat even when it's cold above ground.
Insider tip: Coffee lovers should be sure to visit The Beaver Club, where a Rube Goldberg-like copper and glass contraption imported from Belgium brews the perfect cup at tableside.

Dinining
