Fodor's Expert Review Le Place d'Armes Hôtel & Suites

55 rue St-Jacques, Montréal, Québec, H2Y 1K9, Canada Fodor's Choice

Four splendidly ornate Victorian commercial buildings were merged to create Old Montréal's largest boutique hotel, pleasing honeymooners and business execs alike with its old-fashioned grandeur, exposed brick walls in rooms, hammam (Middle Eastern–style steam bath), rooftop terrace, and unobstructed views of the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montréal. Order hamachi bibimbap (marinaded yellowtail) at the on-site Japanese tavern, Kyo Bar Japonais.

PROS

  • best (Turkish) spa in town
  • Japanese tavern (hamachi bibimbap [marinated yellowtail])
  • rooftop bar

CONS

  • late sleepers may be disturbed by the noontime Angelus bells at the basilica
  • steep approach from métro is slippery in winter
  • rooms in new building have no bathtubs, only multi–jet showers
