To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this significant event, the hotel invites
Montrealers and visitors to relive this memorable week during which the
legendary couple composed and recorded the famous peace anthem Give Peace a
Chance without leaving their bed. By this surprising undertaking, the
newlyweds wanted to protest against the war in Vietnam, creating greater
public awareness about universal peace.

Geneviève Borne, well-known TV personality, has been chosen as the
spokesperson for the 50th anniversary celebrations. A great fan of the British
pop culture, she is very interested in the social and musical movements of the
60s. She will be present for the major events held at the hotel and take part
in the festivities paying tribute to peace, love and creativity.
