DK Eyewitness "This renovated 1870 building provides visitors with elegant surroundings. Conference facilities, a spa and other touches make one feel pampered."
Star Service "It is also one of the city's finest examples of deluxe hostelry. In fact, this exceptional independent is considered the Ritz-Carlton's only serious competition." Full review
Gayot "Brimming with antiques, objets d'art, French tapestries and fine art, Hotel Le St-James is an exercise in opulence."
BlackBook "A dash of Rococo and a lot of rock ‘n’ roll, baby! If it’s good enough for Madonna and the Rolling Stones, it might just be good enough for you."

These latter units are worth requesting for their fresher modern decor and superior amenities, including flat-screen TVs and MP3 players.
