QR: YUL-CPT biz (I) fare 2600 USD roundtrip, not a bad deal for QR product and one world miles, 777/350, pretty solid. Not all days showing on GF will be available, and some slightly reprice, but you can get it for 2600 USD.

Also seems possible out of LAX if you're into that thing:

There's an overnight layover in both directions. Is QR one of the airlines that will pay for the hotel? It looks like it, based on this link, but does anyone have personal experience?

There is no connection of less than eight hours available
EDIT: Is there not a 2am flight to CPT anymore? To answer my own question, yes, there is a 1:45am flight which means you have a 7.5 hour connection. No hotel is available.

Yes, but this is the big if:
If there is another connection, even if you don't choose it, then they won't give a hotel. I've done LAX-DOH-CPT and the 9 hours in the lounge goes by pretty fast.

Still if this fare survives for another 2 months so I can book June 2020, I am strongly tempted. $2900 for some days in 2020 is very competitive with the much best shorter SFO-LHR J fare.

Yes, it would appear that they don't provide hotels given alternative (albeit more expensive) shorter connections are available. There are still a few options for those keen to make use of the deal. First, there are sleeping rooms at the QR Lounge in DOH. While they aren't as appealing as other lounges I've been to, that may provide adequate sleep. Another option (if the fare rules permit) would be breaking up the trip to have stopovers in DOH. Per the QR website, they have a Qatar stopover programme where you can stay at either a 4 or 5 star hotel starting at $23 USD per night.
Hope that provides some guidance.

Are Emeralds allowed access to the F lounge when not flying F? I was under the impression that QR does not allow that; very happy if I am wrong.
