"The Sofitel is a tall silver tower presiding over Sherbrooke Street near the McGill University campus. Its lobby is peppered with low-backed chocolate leather couches and a vibrant patterned throw rug, making it feel like something out of the '70s. One night in one of the elegant rooms at the Sofitel, and you’ll get why this Golden Mile hotel is a first choice for so many professionals traveling to Montreal. The French-inflected brand puts a premium on gorgeous spaces, refined service, and excellent (French leaning) cuisine, and Sofitel’s Canadian flagship is ideally situated between McGill University, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and across the street from decadent shopping at Holt Renfrew Ogilvy. The hotel is currently undergoing a massive renovation and will reopen in 2025 to coincide with the Sofitel brand’s 60th anniversary–and we have no doubt that its next chapter will be no less fabulous than its last." - Isa Tousignant, Todd Plummer
