Travel Information


Passport Required
Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable.
For more information including what can be brought into Canada, traveling to Canada by motor vehicle, U.S. Consulate contact information and returning to the U.S. please visit the U.S. Department of State website.

Transportation to/from airport
For your convenience, use the Pierre Trudeau Montreal airport for your travel needs.

There are four options for transportation between the airport and the Fairmont (30 minute distance by vehicle):

  1. There is a shuttle bus that departs the airport every 25 minutes and drops passengers off at all major hotels in Montreal. You may board the shuttle outside at arrivals. The cost is $13 CDN (approximately $11 US). (The driver will only accept Canadian money, there is an exchange located in the airport).
  2. Taxi’s are very prevalent in Montreal and may be found outside at arrivals. The cost is roughly $40 CDN (approximately $34 US). (Recommended to pay with Canadian money, there is an exchange located in the airport, as not all drivers have credit card machines).
  3. Rent a car. There are numerous rent-a-car companies out of the airport. I recommend looking on expedia.com or travocity.com to shop for the best deal. There is available parking at the Fairmont for $24 CDN (approximately $20 US) a day. The concierge will be able to provide you with directions, please contact them at (514) 861-3511.
  4. There is also the option of requesting limo service through the concierge and attaching the charge to your room. The cost is roughly $60 CDN (approximately $51 US) depending on the number of guests. Please contact the concierge (514) 861-3511 for more information.
  5. Traveling via train from the airport is not convenient therefore not recommended.
