We first stayed here in early January and upon our return Labor Day weekend, it felt like coming home to our own stunning, refurbished mansion on Rue Drummond. The hotel rooms are located in the modern tower addition -- a clever, well-integrated design that mirrors the juxtaposition of old/modern architecture throughout downtown Montreal. On this visit, we had a smaller but still very ample room (we think we were booked/upgraded into an enormous, accessible room in January). All amenities are top-notch, from the supportive king bed, robes and slippers, toiletries, every small detail down to the elegant hotel pens and chocolates upon check-in. We appreciate their sustainability measures, with minimal waste in terms of packaging of toiletries, glass tumblers not plastic/paper, etc. The spa bathroom with its rain shower/jet bath "room" felt luxurious and restorative. The lighting "system" seems overly complicated yet we appreciated the many options, especially the layers of light-blocking drapes and clever reading lamps above the bed. We were told the hotel hosted two weddings over the weekend, but it was extremely quiet. The staff is warm and efficient; a request for towels was delivered in five minutes. Parking was easy in the lot below the hotel. ||Before booking, I recommend signing up for the free Leader's Club membership, for the perks of free wifi and full breakfast, as well as room upgrade if available. The full breakfast is excellent and substantial, with egg options, avo toast, fruit, croissants, etc. and coffee/espresso bar/tea) and served in the chic breakfast room of Back in January, we dined in the gorgeous bar/restaurant (it was subzero temps that night and we decided to stay put) and while the food was very good, the service was uneven. We may try it again next time.
