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

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."

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."
