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

"Take two historic buildings; add a glass atrium and an eight-floor tower, with rooftop terrace: that’s the Hôtel William Gray." Full review
Wallpaper "The resulting 127-room William Gray is a handsome and modern reimagining of disparately historic spaces." Full review
Jetsetter "A freshly minted boutique hotel overlooking the historic Place Jacques-Cartier, with a cool rooftop bar." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "In the heart of Old Montreal, Hôtel William Gray is a masterful reinvention of two landmark 18th-century maisons, fused with a modernist glass atrium and terrace-toting eight-storey tower." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"Occupying an 18th-century greystone on a narrow street in Old Montreal, this hotel is one of the city’s most stylish designer stays." Full review
Michelin Guide "Rooms vary in size and equipment...but all are finely wrought and full of comforts. Multi-jet rain showers, Frette towels, and Le Labo bath products supply the excellent bathrooms" Full review
