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

"The St-Paul has been a star to design and architecture aficionados since it opened a decade ago, and it ranks among the most worthwhile of old buildings converted to hotels." Full review
Fodor's
"Forget fussy oil paintings or rococo furniture; the St. Paul keeps the focus on modern silk, stone, and raw-metal decor accents, which are admired by its fashionable guests." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The too-cool faux-hawked staffers at this über-chic boutique hotel might be off-putting if the rooms weren’t so stylish and comfortable." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The exterior of this Beaux-Arts building is deceiving, for inside is minimalist comfort and savvy design. Don’t miss the Raw Bar for the best ceviche (raw fish) in town."
Rough Guide
"This sleek Vieux-Montréal boutique hotel has white walls and linens that contrast nicely with the dark-wood floors and elegantly simple furnishings of the rooms and suites."
Star Service
"On the edge of Old Montreal in the Museum Quarter...this beaux-arts architectural-birthday-cake of a building marries the 19th century with the 21st in a series of fun contemporary design experiments." Full review
Gayot
"From the outside, this hotel seems to be an old-world charmer."
BlackBook
"Serene and slick, white hot and entrancing. So cool it burns, like the flame in the marble wall at the entrance."

"The Hotel St. Paul’s creative aesthetic shines from every corner." Full review

"Deign Hotel with sleek interiors and a topnotch restaurant in a historic Beaux Arts building near Old Montreal." Full review
