"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

"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

"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."

"Okay, it's not much of a mountain, but given that it's the city's namesake, it's always nice to have a view of Mont Royal just out your window."
