"In the heart of Golden Square Mile, this 169-room tower eschews the usual Old World Montréal aesthetic (think heavy stone walls and wooden beams) for something decidedly contemporary and cosmopolitan. Occupying a sleek tower that connects directly to the luxury shopping emporium Holt Renfrew Ogilvy, the property is chic and refined, with light-filled interiors dressed in herringbone white oak floors, brass and mirrored surfaces, blush pink accents, and veined marble and pale pink terrazzo. The social heart is Marcus Restaurant + Terrace by chef Marcus Samuelsson, where solarium-style windows and a leafy terrace create an airy urban backdrop for dishes like fresh pasta with lobster and chili or roasted eggplant with togarashi, sweet-and-sour sauce, and Québec maple syrup. (Be sure to check out the restaurant’s excellent artwork, which comes from the private collection of Margaret Trudeau.) By night, the moody lounge is a go-to for late drinks, and the weekly Sommelier’s Soirées—a series of curated wine pairings around rotating themes—offer reason to return. After a day of sightseeing, indulge in a treatment at the standout Guerlain Spa, the only urban spa in the city to offer a Kneipp Hydrotherapy circuit, where you walk a path of polished stones to stimulate acupressure points." - Siobhan Reid
