The
Queen Elizabeth.
This venerable, 1000-room Fairmont property is the grande dame of Montréal
hotels. It’s located at the very epicenter of the City, above the
train station (VIA Rail and AMTRAK), connected to Place Ville Marie, in
Montréal’s expansive Underground City, with its thousands
of boutiques, restaurants and cafés. The hotel’s location
is the best in the city, and the hotel has all the creature comforts,
including pool and state-of-the-art health club. This is our preferred
hotel for business and leisure visitors.

The Marriott Château Champlain.
This landmark hotel is affectionately known to Montréalers as the
“cheese grater” for reasons you’ll understand on arrival.
The architecturally unique, high-rise property overlooks Dominion Square
and Mount Royal, and the views through the floor to ceiling windows from
the north side of the hotel are stunning, especially in the autumn, or
during an evening snowfall (ask for a north-facing room on an upper floor).
The hotel is connected by elevator to a Metro station in its lower level,
and to the legendary Montréal Underground with everything it has
to offer.

business complex. Guestrooms are nicely decorated and offer lovely garden
or panoramic city views. the Hilton is within walking distance of old
Montreal and the Convention Centre and also enjoys direct underground
access to the train station and Le Metro. Primarily a business traveler’s
hotel, one unique feature that your kids will be talking about for years
is the outdoor, rooftop swimming pool that’s accessible from inside
the hotel by ducking under a window that extends below the water’s
surface.
