"After a 2017 renovation by Sid Lee, the classic 1960s Fairmont felt young and playful to me—built literally on top of the city’s Gare Centrale, it serves as a true hub where locals stroll through the lobby for a bit of glamour; book the famous room where John Lennon and Yoko Ono held their Bed-In, or choose renovated Fairmont Rooms with geometric wood furnishings and colorful abstract wallpaper for a refreshed downtown stay." - Todd Plummer
