Montreal / Accommodation / Cool


 

This popular hotel is located opposite the Convention Centre in the hub of the financial district, so expect plenty of [name]- tagged executives to be coming and going. Classic Holiday Inn standards and features (executive floors offer an enhanced option), though the hotel also has some surprises up its sleeve such as illuminated rooftop pagodas and an interesting water feature in the main dining room. Always full during the conference season. Meeting rooms for up to 250. Close to the trendy restaurants, bars and clubs of Boulevard Saint-Laurent, as well as the inexpensive Chinese eateries and bustling markets of China Town. *ON EXECUTIVE FLOOR ONLY

 

This downtown hotel is well known for its sensual Belle Epoque decor, superb French restaurant (Le Lutétia), and unbeatable downtown location. But what really keeps Montrealers and travellers talking is the main floor bar’s happy hour when business men and glamorous ladies mingle over a glass of wine or cocktail. In summer, the party moves upstairs to the rooftop terrace, which boasts stunning views of the city and beyond. This is the hotel for the sophisticated party goer, and if you tire of the hotel, Montreal’s best nightclubs, bars and strip clubs are only blocks away. *SUMMER ONLY

 

Open in 2002, Hotel Gault has quickly become the city’s most discreet and fashionable boutique hotel. Located in Montreal’s most historic neighbourhood, the Gault boasts a bold and modern decor encapsulated in a 19th-century stone façade. Beyond the spacious and sunny lobby are modern rooms featuring polished concrete, wood and steel accents, along with high quality and high tech fittings and furnishings. Guests are offered a wide range of services. Though there is no restaurant on site, room service is available and several excellent restaurants are within walking distance.

 

Hôtel Le Germain is like a veritable oasis in the city. This chic and intimate boutique hotel is located in the heart of the downtown business district close to numerous museums and trendy Sainte- Catherine Street boutiques. The rooms feature a loft-style design for maximum light and great views. Gentle, textured blends of dark wood, earth tones and natural hues have been used throughout to create that sense of comfort and warmth exclusive to boutique hotels. Two split- level suites are available for business travellers seeking a true home away from home during their Montreal stay. Restaurant, Le Prélude, offers simple market cuisine and a warm ambience.

 

The Nelligan’s Old Montreal setting is not only romantic but ideally located for museum goers, shoppers and history buffs. But the hotel itself, which is [name]d after legendary French Canadian poet Emile Nelligan, offers plenty of action and romance. Each bedroom’s design is based on one of Nelligan’s poetic verses (hence the [name] of the hotel’s superb contemporary restaurant, Verses). Cocktail hour draws tourists and locals alike, who are drawn to the hotel’s charming, old world setting. Suites feature fireplaces and double jacuzzis. Just steps away from the old port and the convention centre.
