The QE is your best bet if you want a downtown hotel location that is close to all anemities, transportation and sights. You can access the QE Hotel right from the train station (AMTRAK & VIA RAIL) that pulls in underneath!
And the location of the QE puts you right smack dab in the centre of downtown Montreal - close to shops, theatres, restaurants, cafés and boutiques!! Plus it is connected to a vast underground shopping network which is VERY convenient in case of inclement weather!
And check out the "Beaver Club Restaurant" while staying there - it's a rather high priced venue, but it's has wonderful rustic decor and ambience, and a unique menu featuring wild game.
(Check web site for specials, bed & breakfast packages, rates, etc )
Unique Qualities: This is the grande dame of Montreal hotels, and she was recently taken over by the Fairmont Hotels consortium, who gave the old lady a facelift, with new and improved facilities that now includes indoor swimming pools, excercise rooms, and dataports in each room for your travelling laptop!
The rooms are generous, clean, and service is impeccable, yet friendly.
And don't forget.. John Lennon and Yoko Ono stayed here during their famous "bed-in" during the late 60's (Suite 1742), where the song "Give Peace a Chance" was recorded!
