The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Bonaparte

"- Leslie Brokaw, Erin Trahan, Matthew Barber"

"The Auberge du Vieux-Port is another Old Montreal boutique property to consider -- its rooms come with in-room iPod docks and minibars, and its rates are slightly lower"

"Guests can sit by the fireplace in the lounge, take in views of Old Montreal from the rooftop terrace, or dine on classical French specialties like vanilla lobster and duck confit in the private alcoves at Bonaparte Restaurant"

"New wooden floors and black leather accents breathe new life into the lobby lounge and eating area, where booths and walls were removed to create more breathing room"

"Farther in is a fireplace lounge, but most of the ground floor is given over to the famed French restaurant, which is broken up into three rooms of distinct character"
