"Give us the highlights: What's so special about this place?One of only three Canadian hotels listed in The Leading Hotels of the World, Le Mount Stephen combines old-world glamour with cutting-edge modern design. Survey your fellow guests. Who has ended up here?With one foot on Mount Royal and the other Downtown, Le Mount Stephen is ideally placed for the upper-echelon business set. And what stands out in your room?Floor-to-ceiling windows, a Harlequin bed—like sleeping on a cloud—and a private terrace for sipping Nespresso in the morning. If you really want to splurge, is there a room that stands out?The Sky Loft suite has a skylight for a ceiling. You've unpacked, gotten settled; now, it's time to venture out around the hotel grounds. What's for lunch or dinner?The British-themed Bar George is like a wood-paneled step back in time, with leather banquettes, equine-themed wallpaper, and cocktails like the Surly Old Uncle (Pimm’s No. 1, red vermouth, gin, and grapefruit). For brunch, try the smoked haddock hash; for dinner, go for the decadent beef Wellington. Wrap it up: Why should we be staying here?Le Mount Stephen Hotel marries heritage glamour with cutting-edge design in a 1926 space that has the frontage of a neo-renaissance social club and the body of a modern hotel tower. Located right in Montreal's historic Golden Square Mile, at the foot of Mount Royal yet still Downtown, it embraces its past with classic décor (wood paneling, cushy velvet and leather), yet gives a wholly contemporary hotel experience with high-tech touches like a light-therapy shower head and next-level bed design." - Isa Tousignant
