The Classic TrendsetterToday Montreal is bursting with boutique hotels, but it was Le Place d’Armes Hotel & Suites that started the trend when it opened in 2000. Located just steps from Notre Dame, the 83-room, 52 suite property is housed in the former Scottish Life Insurance Company building and two adjoining buildings. Decorated with comfortable, contemporary furnishings, all rooms feature Frette bathrobes and goose-down comforters. Depending on your room you may also have jetted, therapeutic baths, electric fireplaces, LCD TV and a home theater system. Some rooms also incorporate the original brick walls of the historic structure into the design. A complimentary wine and cheese afternoon reception is held everyday. 55 St. Jacques, 514-842-1887.
The Hipster
If your motto is see and be seen, then the Opus Montreal on the fringes of the city’s former red light district is your home in Montreal. Modern décor, done in five different themes awaits. Fashionistas, book the Susan room, party boys opt for the Billy room. And speaking of partying, if you don’t want your room to pulsate with sounds from the nightclub make sure to ask for a room away from the hotel’s popular Koko club. 10 Sherbrooke West, 514-843-6000.
