W Montréal Review

This ultraluxurious chain opened its first Canadian hotel here in 2004, inside the old Bank of Canada building, but you'd never know it once you walk through those whooshing sliding doors: upon entry, guests see a cubic water fountain and glowing red walls throughout the lobby. Bright, airy rooms are decorated in various shades of gray highlighted with electric-blue curtains. Be warned: glass showers are not inside the "private" bathroom area, so your traveling companion will get an eyeful. Penthouse suites feature wraparound terraces and 12-foot ceilings. The mezzanine-level Plateau lounge is popular with local professionals, while the late-night Wunderbar attracts supermodels and A-list celebrities. (The bar's new metallic pillows and silver chairs bring more bling. to the scene.) The hotel's new partnership with Acura means guests can reserve a free car ride anywhere in the city.

    If you're in Montreal on business, avoid at any cost.
    After 9:00pm, the hotel lobby becomes a meat market....
    I had to wait on line in the cold to have access to the hotel. The bouncer/doorman did not give a damn that I was a hotel guests. He was too busy flirting and trying to impress young blondies...
    Poor housekeeping. Never got my wake-up call. It's true that the poor girl at the front desk could barely hear what I was saying, music was way too loud to entertain the night crowd.

    We will be flying from NYC to Somewhere in Quebec for the last two weeks in August. The kids are 7 and 12. We want off the beaten path. I was thinking Gaspe and the islands, or perhaps Tadoussac...I Read more
