Montreal, Quebec Hotels

Our pick of charming Old Town B&Bs, downtown Quebecois favorites and Montreal, Canada’s greatest luxury hotels will help you plan the best vacation ever to this wonderful city.
Located along the Saint-Lawrence River, Old Montreal provides the pedestrian sightseer with beautiful 17th and 18th century European-style architecture.  Its soothing charms and many friendly ‘restos’ make it a great choice for a family-friendly destination and our first choice for a place to stay.
 
Hotel Bonaparte
447, rue Saint-François-Xavier
Montreal,  H2Y 2T1
514/844-1448
We’re partial to this large, very comfortable B’n’B inn right in the heart of Old Town, whose charming airy rooms boast exposed brick walls, brass beds, lacey trim and large marble bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs. Two-bedded doubles will sleep four, plus there’s room to spare for a rollaway. The staff is super-helpful and gracious; the fresh croissants and hearty cooked breakfasts send everyone in the family out sightseeing with a good start to the day. And the excellent restaurant is wonderful for dinner.

Also hidden away in cobblestoned Old Montréal, this 18th century former fur warehouse turned B’n’B is for the sophisticated traveler seeking something quiet, different and off the beaten path. The lobby is an art gallery; behind the front desk is the small breakfast room. Reserve well ahead for one of nine rooms (can sleep 3-4 including well-mannered kids), each of which has more lovely artwork, all the modern amenities, re-creations of traditional Québec armoires and beds, and the original exposed-wood beams and thick stone walls.
