The 10 Best Hotels in Montréal, According to Vogue | Vogue

"Despite the city's reputation as North America’s most French city, the mood at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth skews unmistakably British (perhaps the name tipped you off?). Spanning an entire city block on René-Lévesque Boulevard, this 950-room grande dame nods to the 1960s with pops of bold color, geometric light fixtures, graphic rugs, and Eero Aarnio–style ball chairs. The most sought-after key? The 17th-floor suite where John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent a week on their honeymoon in 1969, staging their famous Bed-In. For dining, guests can tuck into casual bistro fare at Rosélys, or graze at the 8,000-square-foot Marché Artisans, home to an artisanal bakery, a doughnut counter, a pizza oven, and crêpe and ice-cream stations, among other temptations. The spa is a highlight: swim a few laps in the heated indoor pool, then indulge in an anti-aging facial using Swiss brand Valmont or Sothys Paris." - Siobhan Reid
