"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

"Located on the edge of Old Montreal, the InterContinental offers contemporary rooms decorated in creams and rich reds, and sleek marble-and-granite bathrooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The InterContinental connects with the Montréal World Trade Center by way of an atrium, where guests and visitors are served a bonanza of shopping and leisure options under one roof."
Star Service "Part of the World Trade Centre, this top-ranked commercial address may sit in the shadow of the newer Ritz-Carlton and old favorite Fairmont, but it remains one of the city's finest." Full review

The proportions of even the Standard rooms are above average, and the large corner rooms are worth requesting, though a wee bit more expensive.
Gayot "This hotel is just a short walk across the lobby of one of Montreal's most historic landmarks, the Nordheimer building."
Jetsetter "Business meets pleasure at this contemporary hotel connected to the Montreal Convention Center, with an indoor pool, a top-notch restaurant and a cozy bar." Full review
Lonely Planet "This enormous InterContinental has a unique location between a new high-rise and a restored annex of the 19th-century Nordheimer building." Full review
Michelin Guide "With high-rise views and floor-to-ceiling windows, these plush, oversized rooms and suites are anything but edgy. But neither are they bland...the furnishings are modernist classics" Full review
