Montréal has a wide range of hotel options, from big familiar brands to exclusive luxury properties — and plenty of options in between — that will entice attendees to register for events and enchant them once they’re here. For big groups of 400 attendees or more, however, there’s a selection of downtown hotels that will cater perfectly to onsite meetings while positioning your event in the vibrant heart of the city.
Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth
Part of the respected Fairmont brand, the Queen E (as it’s known colloquially) is a local legend. For the past decades, it’s been the hotel choice for dignitaries, celebrities and revolutionaries. With a restaurant, bar and urban market (which showcases local products and creative talents), it’s an ideal location to create memorable moments for groups of all sizes. Bonus: the rooftop features Espace C2, one of the city’s most creative conference spaces.
