exterior of Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Canada
Opened in 1958, the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel was one of the first hotels in North America with escalators, centralized air conditioning, and direct dial telephones in each room. It is located conveniently adjacent to the train station. In 1969, the hotel shot to superstardom when Yoko Ono and John Lennon stayed here on their honeymoon in suite 1472. Here, their second “bed-in for peace” lasted a week, and during this time they composed and recorded “Give Peace a Chance.” (The first bed-in was held just prior in Amsterdam.) And now it is possible for guests to book this suite! The Marche Artisans gift shop purveys items from local makers as well as food treats. Offering low-key luxury, this hotel remains the largest in the city and offers an entrance that was the first link into the Underground City.

Underground City
Montreal's underground pedestrian network extends for about 20 miles and is the world’s largest. It connects shopping centers, performing arts venues, and other buildings, but also has shops lining its tunnel passages. The entrances are in different areas of the city, and some sections are connected by subway (so the tunnel is not continuous; it has lapses). And though the network is not always underground, it is always indoors, and it is especially popular in summer, when it is air-conditioned, and in winter, when it is heated.
