Frommer's "One of the official lodging sites for the Musée des Beaux-Arts and McGill University, the Versailles is near the museum but outside most of the tourist orbit." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Myth and legend circulate when speaking of Château Versailles, partly because the four townhouses which it occupies were once home to Montréal’s upper crust."
Rough Guide "This unique and charming – if a bit faded – hotel sits in the northwestern edge of downtown. Rooms are traditionally elegant, and complimentary afternoon tea is offered daily."
Michelin Guide "Composed of four interconnected 19C Victorian town houses and a modern tower annex across the street, this former pension is prized for its price, personal service and convenient location in the museum district."
Star Service "This little dynamo has a split personality, with accommodations that possess the character and attention to detail of a high-end B&B, while the common areas convey more commercial overtones." Full review
BlackBook "Small, discreet and kinda sexy. This boutique hotel has got personality. Each room is decorated differently -a fireplace here, a bit of art deco there and a lot of gold and navy blue."
Fodor's "Dignified clientele appreciate the luxury within the Versailles' two elegant beaux-art mansions, with high ceilings, plaster moldings, and antique furnishings." Full review

Request a room on the highest floor possible for the best views.
Gayot "Surround the senses with winding cobblestone streets, the click-clacking of horses and horns blowing from the boats docking at the bay."
BlackBook "Get a massive dose of 19th century charm at this cozy inn overlooking the old port."
Fodor's "This elegant auberge is a magnet for romantics who appreciate the view of the river and a welcoming staff." Full review
Afar Magazine "Housed in a 19th-century leather merchant building and faces directly onto the St. Lawrence River, with its summertime cruise ships and wintertime snowy beauty." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Nestled in the heart of Old Montreal on the banks of the scenic St Lawrence River with an enviable St Paul Street address, Auberge du Vieux-Port hotel is heavy with historic Quebecois je ne sais quoi." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
