Dining
The Beaver Club - Recognized as one of Canada's premier restaurants, the legendary Beaver Club offers French cuisine deeply rooted in Québec's voyageur and fur-trading heritage. Open for dinner from Thursday to Saturday only, the restaurant began as a private club, founded in 1785. Today, club memberships are honorary and include luminaries from the sports, business, and entertainment arenas. The dining room is traditional, with wood-paneled walls, white-linen table settings, and rich leather dining chairs. A private dining room is available for use by small groups. The seasonal menu showcases regionally inspired French cuisine with some low-fat and vegetarian choices. A wine cellar holds more than 700 vintages, including a selection of Canada's top wines.
Le Montréalais Bistro - Le Montréalais is a two-level restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The casual, European ambience is complemented by a menu featuring Mediterranean cuisine, grilled meat dishes, and fresh fish. Buffets are available at breakfast and lunch. Children ages 6 and under receive complimentary meals when accompanied by a parent; meals for children ages 7 to 12 are discounted by 50-percent. A full breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 11 AM.
Les Voyageurs Bar Lounge - Serving lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks, Les Voyageurs has a long brass and wood bar, small intimate tables, and comfortable group sitting areas with leather couches and wingback chairs. Stools surround the grand piano, where a singer performs every evening. Guests enjoy a seasonal oyster bar (September to March), local microbrews on tap, an extensive martini list, and local liqueurs such as maple-syrup-flavored whiskey. The signature drink is "Give Peace a Chance," a gin-and-sake tribute to John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who staged their 1969 week-long "Bed-In for Peace" in Suite 1742 of the hotel.

“Great time with my daughter at the pool”
I stayed there with my daughter and we had a great time. The pool is very nice, clean and kids friendly, there is a small kid's pool also. There is fresh fruit available for free on your way in or out of the pool/fitness facility - this was very practical and much appreciated after a good swim. The staff was great and accomodating, we were able to take advantage of a later check out time. The room was very clean and very comfortable bed with clean mattress and bedding. It's downtown Montreal, so we did hear the emergency vehicles going by during the night, but I'm a light sleeper. The restaurant Le Montrealais inside the hotel was very accomodating for my picky eater, the only thing is that the service was a bit slow, but they recognized it and deducted it from our bill without us even asking for it. Bathrobes included for the pool and exercise area is out of this worl...the best I've seen bar far and so clean.
“Best Canadian Hotel”
Having spent my vacation in four differnet hotels I can say that this was the best in comparison. It was afirst class hotel with greta service and amenities. The location was by far a huge consideration. It is ideally located to everything and the rates were phenomenal. I am planning for a return trip.
“best hotel”
The best hotel I've ever stayed in Incredible room size, great, helpful and attentive staff.
“Still the Queen”
We love Le Reine Elizabeth, for its convenient location and access to the Underground and the Metro. The staff (especially the concierge) is fantastic. The rooms may be a little small, but tha shouldn't be an issue, since you'll be having too much fun in the city.
“Perfect Stay in Downtown Montreal”
Excellent hotel experience. Tip take bus nr. 747 from Montreal airport for $7. Buy bus ticket @ currency exchange desk.
“Lovely and Conveniently Located Hotel”
This hotel is inside a beautiful structure located in the best part of downtown Montreal. It's elegantly decorated, luxurous, and very clean. It's very close to the train station which makes taking AMTRAK very easy. We had a great time staying at this hotel, and would like to go back soon.
“Exceptional service”
The hotel is located above train station which is so convenient. Cannot give enough praise to the entire staff at hotel. Reservations, check in, concierge, bar lounge, restaurant and doorman that arranged early departure for us were efficient, friendly and professional. Other hotel chains better take note. Our stay at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth was exceptional.
“Great Hotel”
Great Hotel
“Great location.”
Make sure you goto the Beaver Club for dinner! One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Dont get the room witht he queen bed. It is more like a full size bed. Underground Montreal is really just a big underground shopping mall. Old Montreal was very beatiful and had the feel of old europe. Take the metro...taxis are expensive. Do not bother going to museums when they are free...we went to the biodome on one of the free days and the line was wrapped around the building! I'd rather pay to enter then wait 2 hours. We are from Boston. We found Montreal very nice, but very similar feel to Boston except with a French influence.
“Lovely hotel”
Wonderful location. Although the weatehr was warm for a Montreal winter it was great to be able to connect to some many shooping places and restaurants without having to go outside. New Year's brunch at the Beaver Club was fantastic. Great service, too!
