Originally called Ville-Marie, Montreal was named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill located in the heart of the city. Montreal was recently named a UNESCO City of Design and is an important centre of commerce, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, tourism, film and world affairs. The official language is French.
Recommended Airport
The closest airport to Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth is Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL). Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (domestic and international flights) is located 14 miles (22 km) from the hotel.
Local travel from YUL to downtown Montreal:
Unless the city is blessed with a rare Indian summer extending beyond September, Montreal is in full fall mode come October. Crisp, cool but fairly comfortable, it's not uncommon to experience a snowfall at this time. But chances are it's a light one where flakes don't stay put on the ground for more than a few minutes or hours, melting away by day's end.
Precipitation: anticipate 6 days of rain in October and 13 days involving light showers. One day of snow flurries a possibility.
For comfort's sake, October in Montreal is all about layers, particularly if out and about from day to night. Indian summer days are a possibility and an afternoon in the sun can be comfortable with only a shirt and blazer or windbreaker but a light jacket with scarf may be necessary when temperatures dip below 10ºC (50ºF), usually by sundown.
