"Le Mount Stephen Hotel marries heritage glamor with cutting-edge design. Set in a 1926 space that has the frontage of a neo-renaissance social club and the body of a modern hotel tower and 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. 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." - Isa Tousignant, Todd Plummer
