Lonely Planet "This is the crème de la crème of Montréal business hotels, with over 1000 tastefully renovated rooms and suites." Full review
National Geographic "Grande dame of Montreal old-style hotels, part of historic chain of cross-Canada railway resorts; John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their “bed-in for peace” here in 1969." Full review
