MONTREAL - Suite 1742 at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth is no ordinary hotel room.
On the door, just below the suite number, there's a silver plaque bearing the names John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
It was here, 40 years ago - from May 26 to June 2, 1969 - that the ex-Beatle and his wife held their famous "Bed-In for Peace" during the Vietnam War.
They spoke to journalists to promote their message of world peace and recorded the song "Give Peace a Chance" in the suite.
The hotel is inviting guests to mark the anniversary with a package that includes one night's accommodation and breakfast in bed for two (or a restaurant buffet breakfast if they prefer). Guests also receive a CD featuring "Give Peace a Chance" and a frameable copy of the song's lyrics.
