Le Marriott Chateau Champlain Review

Le Marriott Château Champlain
$$$$, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
At the southern end of Place du Canada stands this 36-floor skyscraper with distinctive half-moon windows that give it a Moorish look (although some argue that it resembles a cheese grater). Those oddly shaped windows give the rooms wonderful views of Mont-Royal to the north and the St. Lawrence River to the south and east. Although the 1960s exterior seems to call out for retro decoration, the public areas, including the comfortable Bar Le Senateur, are elegant and French traditional in style. Bedrooms are cozy rather than large, with wing chairs, dark-wood furniture, brass lamps, puffy floral duvets, and small but modern marble bathrooms. Convenient underground passageways connect the hotel with the Bonaventure Métro station and Place Ville-Marie. Pros: good views and parkside location. Cons: a favorite for parties and receptions -- especially with the high-school-prom crowd in the spring.

Samuel Champlain never had it this good
Posted by Peter from New Jersey on 8/1/06
We stayed at the Chateau Champlain for 2 nights. The view from our large windows on the 26th floor was great. Check in was easy. From the airport we took the airport-city shuttle like the Fodor's book mentioned for $13 each. The Marriott was the first stop and we returned the same way. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It was very quiet and peaceful. The hotel write ups don't focus much on the Marriott. I looked at it first because I'm a gold elite member. The hotel location is within walking distance of many places in downtown Montreal. It requires a cab to get to old center Montreal ($5-$7) one way from the Marriott. The metro station is beneath the hotel which one would never know but for a small discreet sign indicating access. The hotel is a couple of blocks away from the Montreal Canadians hockey arena. We would stay at this Marriott again.
