Montreal offers a broad spectrum of hotels, but if you are looking to be pampered during your stay on the island, then you should focus on the luxury accommodations available to you in this city. Most of these high-end hotels are located either in the downtown core or in Old Montreal, ensuring that no matter where you book your room you will be close to the action.
The Old Port hotels
One of the premier hotels in Old Montreal is the W, which is located in Victoria Square. In addition to OTTO, the Italian fusion restaurant operated by the hotel, the W has many different styles of room to offer travelers. If you will be in the city only a short time, the ‘Cozy’ room or the ‘Wonderful’ room would probably fill you needs. If you are going to be extending your stay in Montreal, however, why not indulge in one of the W’s three different suites. The ‘Fantastic’ suite looks out over Square Victoria and provides a sitting room and rain forest shower. The ‘Wow’ suite gives you two televisions, 20 foot high ceilings and a mezzanine bedroom to cap off the loft feel. Finally, the ‘Extreme Wow’ suite offers all of that, a sunken tub and a terrace. All of the rooms at the W provide high-speed internet and ample desk space in the in-room work area.
If you are looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary when it comes to luxury, why not investigate the Hotel St. Paul. On the corner of McGill and St-Paul street, this ultra-modern hotel bears a minimalist design that is carried over into the accommodations. Don’t confuse minimalism with Spartan – the St. Paul has a number of standard Queen rooms and 3 levels of suites to satisfy even the most demanding guest. Of particular note is the ‘Black Suite’ found on the penthouse. With 13 foot high ceilings, the Black Suite juxtaposes light from dramatic floor to ceiling windows with the balanced charcoal of the walls. A work area and living room compliment the soaking tub and ornate stone bathroom.
Downtown hotels
The Meridien Versailles is a luxury boutique hotel located on Sherbrooke Street west. The hotel has 106 rooms including Junior and Presidential Suites. The hotel’s restaurant, Bronte, provides Mediterranean fare. If that style of food is not to your liking, then the Meridien Versailles is located within blocks of some of the most exclusive restaurants in town.
If you really want to go all out during your downtown stay, then your best option is the Loews Hotel Vogue. Situated on De La Montagne street, Vogue offers all of the pomp and circumstance you would expect from an ultra-luxury hotel. In addition to the 126 regular rooms there are 16 suites, a 24 hour gym, limousine service, and even a baby-sitting service. The Presidential suite boasts a kitchenette, marble bathroom and 1200 square feet of space to stretch out in – more than some apartments!
Wherever you decide to stay in Montreal, be it the historic feel of Old Montreal or the energy of downtown, choosing any of these luxury hotels will have you curling your toes in anticipation of your next visit.
