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

Gayot "A handsome hotel boasting a history as rich as the city it inhabits."

Concierge "Otto, the restaurant, was an instant trend when it opened with the hotel in 2004, with seashell-studded banquettes as uncomfortable and cute as Jimmy Choos."
Fodor's "You'd never suspect it was decade old after walking through its whooshing sliding doors: upon entry, guests see a cubic water fountain and glowing red walls throughout the lobby." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Montreal’s reputation as a city of style is getting another boost with the newly minted W Montreal." Full review
Star Service "In Montreal, this is about as close to Las Vegas as you can get without jumping on a plane, and with the latest multi-million dollar redesign repeat guests will be satisfied." Full review

Light sleepers should request a room on a high, high floor or risk bedding down with booming bass lines till the wee hours.
BlackBook "You can always count on the W to provide you with a chi-chi yet serene suite. Every imaginable amenity at the tip of your perfectly manicured pinkie."
Oyster Upscale
"A popular destination for couples and party weekends, including bachelor and bachelorette celebrations." Full review
Afar Magazine "Housed in a bank building from the 1950s, the W’s austere exterior hides a bold, brash, ultra-hip interior rich in contemporary design with a pleasingly high level of attention to detail." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Housed behind the unassuming yet historic façade of an old Bank of Canada building, the W Hotel’s bold design, flawless service, vibrant bars and central location make it the ideal Montreal basecamp." Full review
Gayot "W Hotel’s avant-garde design lands in Montréal."
Forbes Travel Guide "W Montréal brings an energetic, youthful edge to the hotel scene in one of Canada’s oldest cities." Full review
