| - This was one of the most enjoyable hotel stays, and it really came down to the service. Yes, the hotel room was lovely and the location was perfect for exploring old Montreal, but it was really the small touches that made Hotel Gault stand out. From the moment we pulled up, confused about parking, the staff seemed genuinely interested in making us feel welcome. After a 5+ hour drive, the immediate offer of tea was particularly thoughtful. I was especially touched that the bartender, Ahmed, for asking if we'd ever been to Montreal and, upon realizing we had not, immediately pulled out a map and directed us to the key points of interest.
The room itself was beautifully decorated with a simple design, but it was the soft classical music and fresh cookies that made the great first impression. After dinner, we stopped for some drinks and Ahmed expertly led us not only through the cocktail menu- which he designed- but also through some of the uncommon spirits in his bar (how do they get the pear in the bottle??? Come here and find out!)
I have really never felt so well-cared for (in an unobtrusive way) at any hotel. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Montreal.
