"Turn a corner on a narrow cobblestone street in Old Montreal and you'll fall upon the William Gray, an unassuming hotel pulling in an international crowd of travelers in-the-know. Walk in to find the most stylish temporary home you could ever imagine. Freshly built inside a historic building, the hotel has an irregularly shaped lobby with exposed concrete beams, twinkling light fixtures, tall barn-wood tables with leather stools, and a smattering of guests pitter-pattering away on laptops. It's like a real living space. The deluxe suite is decadently roomy, with a gorgeous mustard wingback armchair, French doors leading out to a small balcony, and a bathtub in addition to the multi-jet rain shower. The William Gray is a mix of playground and workplace, with little nooks for anything you want to do, a thorough dedication to local artisans and goods, and comfortable rooms." - Isa Tousignant, Todd Plummer
