how can you give this any less than 5 stars? it's the freakin' ritz, baby.
the first time i rolled up in here - in my 93 camry with a blown muffler, jeans with a huge hole in the knee, stan smiths, and my classic fruit of the loom t - i admit i felt a little underdressed. the staff, however, did not bat an eye. ahhhh . . . a hotelier's discretion. for all they knew, i was a millionaire. and, since i was staying in a suite and had selected one of only 5 in the hotel with a working fireplace, for weekend i could live like one (and, at $1,100.00/night, you'd pretty much have to be. happily, we had 5 people in that piece). so, when i went back up recently, and compared prices on travelocity, i went back to it (but just a regular room this time).
marble, marble everywhere. the lobby, the bathroom, the elevator . . . .
the decor is, as you might expect, somewhat traditonal, staid and conservative. the rooms, however, are spacious. the location cannot be beat. you are one block off the main drag and have literally dozens of restaurants within 3 or 4 blocks. you are central to downtown and walking distance to old montreal.
certainly not the cheapest hotel in montreal, but not the most expensive either. suffice it to say, the regular room was substantially more reasonable than the suite. -

Faded glory... definitely a beautiful old hotel, but in sore need of some renovations and updating. For a hotel in the middle of downtown, why is there no wifi? They do have a connected option, however, that costs about $10/day. Boo.
Complaints - some cosmetic defects - the closets had peeling paint, our bathroom had a huge slash in the wall/ wallpaper that looked like someone was trying to cut an entrance through; the cracked scale was inaccurate and had seen better days; the bureau was old and the drawers tended to stick (hard to pull out). One of the nightstand lamps did not work (though this was remedied without our prompting by day 4 of our stay). For some reason the air conditioner did not get very cold - we did not complain, though...and in the mornings the sound of the street tended to come through (e.g., windows were not double-paned).
Plusses - the Bulgari toiletries, the impeccable service and warmth; the location - very convenient - about 1.5 blocks away from the Metro, a few skips from numerous banks, steps away from the amazing Musee des Beaux Artes, a good, flat, meandering walk to Chinatown and Old Town and a bit of a hike up to the Plateau du Mont Royal. -

We came to Montreal for a hockey game and all decided to stay here at the Ritz. Nothing spectacular. Let me see...
1) The concierge did manage to get us dinner reservations to Time Supper Club (which was recommended by a friend and THE highlight of the trip)...
2) My friend ended up flirting with the cute and charming car valet guy (who's a part-time student pursuing some graduate course at the uni?)who ended up meeting us during the dancing bit at Time and after we excused ourselves, took said friend on a private tour of Montreal in the wee hours of the morning. heh.
3) Not a big fan of the area. Seems very skewed in terms of ethnic representation.
That's about it.

The paint is really thick on this rickety old hotel but even though it has seen better days, still a nice place to stay. It's in a great location; within walking distance to St. Catherine street, the old district and Mount Royal, is a couple of miles away. The best thing about this hotel was the staff. They were friendly, accommodating and sincere. I give Ritz-Montreal 5 stars because of them.
