"The Nelligan embraces the concept of boutique hotels, mixing contemporary furnishings with historic elements and designer decor."

"With its dark wood, soft leather and gas fireplaces, Hotel Nelligan feels like a natural extension of its neighbourhood of Vieux-Montréal."

"Boutique design, heritage stone, poetry framed on the walls (Nelligan was the Poet Laureate of Quebec), chocolates on your pillows, and one of the best dining/drinking locales in the city."

"Relax in a historic stetting that dates back to the late 1800s. Back then, the area was the downtown of the city, as all the goods and supplies were ferried through the port."

"Beyond charming. Positively darling. Feels like Cate Blanchett is reclining on a divan in the next room."
