How to Get There
Reviews
If you are coming to Montreal folks, look no further. This hotel has everything to make your stay extra special! Great location, large room, perfect shower, superb restaurant, delicious buffet breakfast, friendly staff, a great gym and pool with a spa for those extra luxuries.
We went back to the reine Élisabeth mostly because of location. The newly refurbished hotel is very well located with 2 subway lines a train station and transportation to the airport all via indoors and minutes.
The new amenities are lovely but for the price the rooms and bathrooms are very small.
It is a Fairmount hôtel so it is a big extra for parking and extra for wifi in the room.
It is a nice hotel whose prime market are people on expense accounts.
Great location, loved the beds, pillows and the quietness of the room. The restaurant was fabulous, we ate supper a 30-oz. prime rib and breakfast there, the servers are top notch.
If we are ever back in Montreal, this will be our go to place.
