Fodor's "Rooms are spacious, with lush carpeting and richly textured fabrics, but they lack pizzazz." Full review

"This massive, 1,073-room upscale chain hotel is located in Downtown Montreal, and connected to Montreal Central Station and the Underground City." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The royalty of Montréal hotels embodies grace and comfort. This was also the location of John Lennon famous “Bed-In” of 1969."
Michelin Guide "The cavernous Queen Elizabeth's convenient location above Montreal's Underground City and the railway station makes it a favorite with touring celebrities, such as John Lennon and Yoko Ono."
Star Service "The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth is perched atop the Central Station train hub and is as worthy of respect as its namesake." Full review

These latter units are worth requesting for their fresher modern decor and superior amenities, including flat-screen TVs and MP3 players.
Gayot "Besides the chic boutique getaways peppering the downtown core, this property not only offers above-par amenities, it's also considered the granddaddy of Montreal hotels."
BlackBook "1039 rooms smack in the middle of town. Ain't nothing wrong with being conventional when you're world class."
Lonely Planet "This is the crème de la crème of Montréal business hotels, with over 1000 tastefully renovated rooms and suites." Full review
National Geographic "Grande dame of Montreal old-style hotels, part of historic chain of cross-Canada railway resorts; John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their “bed-in for peace” here in 1969." Full review

Frommer's "The St-Paul has been a star to design and architecture aficionados since it opened a decade ago, and it ranks among the most worthwhile of old buildings converted to hotels." Full review
Fodor's "Forget fussy oil paintings or rococo furniture; the St. Paul keeps the focus on modern silk, stone, and raw-metal decor accents, which are admired by its fashionable guests." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The too-cool faux-hawked staffers at this über-chic boutique hotel might be off-putting if the rooms weren’t so stylish and comfortable." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The exterior of this Beaux-Arts building is deceiving, for inside is minimalist comfort and savvy design. Don’t miss the Raw Bar for the best ceviche (raw fish) in town."
Rough Guide "This sleek Vieux-Montréal boutique hotel has white walls and linens that contrast nicely with the dark-wood floors and elegantly simple furnishings of the rooms and suites."
Star Service "On the edge of Old Montreal in the Museum Quarter...this beaux-arts architectural-birthday-cake of a building marries the 19th century with the 21st in a series of fun contemporary design experiments." Full review
Gayot "From the outside, this hotel seems to be an old-world charmer."
BlackBook "Serene and slick, white hot and entrancing. So cool it burns, like the flame in the marble wall at the entrance."
Afar Magazine "The Hotel St. Paul’s creative aesthetic shines from every corner." Full review
Jetsetter "Deign Hotel with sleek interiors and a topnotch restaurant in a historic Beaux Arts building near Old Montreal." Full review
