Montreal Hotels

See All Lists
My life requires a fairly obscene amount of hotel nights per year and Montreal is one city where I enjoy spreading the love, er, sleeping around - no - wait - staying in a wide variety of establishments throughout the city. Yes, that's it. Here are some reviews of those establishments.

I stay in a lot of Hilton family hotels. A lot. Been a Diamond member for 11 years running.  This is probably the best "downtown" HGI that I've personally experienced.

Excellent location with proximity to the Metro, Old Montreal, Chinatown, and the…More »

Can I just live here?

That phrase popped into my head about 30 minutes into my first stay at Hotel Le Crystal and has resided there ever since (Note to self: check lobby for thought projectors)

I have distinct recollections of traveling around the…More »

This well situated, well run hotel is in dire need of a make-over.  Has been for years!  Seriously, this WAS a five star hotel, downgraded to 4 star and the lack of investment is not doing much to bolster peoples belief in a shot at changing the…More »

Perhaps my love of Montreal prevents me from raving about this hotel; It's a perfectly nice example of an Embassy Suites in many respects.  I've stayed here several times and have never regretted doing so...it's just that the antiseptic sameness of…More »

This is an extremely nice property.  Superior service and amenities of a large high end chain with a the high-touch customer service of a boutique.  They even manage to inject more than a little bit of genuine Montreal charm into the mix - which is…More »

Indian Eats; Sub-Continental Divide (5)

This is a list of some of the many popular spots offering foods of the Indian sub-continent.  Indian of various regions, Pakistani (of various regions) Sri Lankan and Bangladesh - all are well represented in the GTA so this list will inevitably keep on growing....

Cheap Eats of Bloor West (11)

Budgetary constraints? Of course! Culinary constraints? Never!  Here's a selection of some places to indulge in the sport of paupers - eating on the cheap.

Tour D' Roti (5)

One of the many benefits of living in the most multicultural major city on planet earth is that we are constantly spoiled for choice in thing culinary. Other big cities may have a good roti shop or two, but we have dozens, if not hundreds.  Roti from the West Indies to the East Indies, from Guyana to Malaysia - they are all represented with pride here in Toronto.  I am going to do my best to list the best as I discover them.

Vegan Goodness in the GTA (6)

If you're vegan, or someone you care about is vegan, or circumstances compel you to include a vegan in your dining plans,  this is a list of some nice spots in the GTA to enjoy a meal.

Meet the Meat (5)

Places to patronize in order to satiate your inner carnivore, or to placate the mammal murdering S.O.B. you just  happen to love.
