My wife and I stayed at the Chez Swann a for 5 nights last month and we had a fantastic time. As the others have stated, it's a hidden gem in the heart of Montreal. When I say hidden, I mean that it it's tucked behind/above a Parisian restaurant and the entrance isn't at first recognizable as that of a hotel. On the other hand, I think that its understated elegance is part of the appeal. The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast each morning was a welcomed surprise. If at all possible, I will stay here the next time I return to Montreal.
