| - I just returned from a short 3 day / 2 night trip to Montreal, and of course, I stayed at the W.
As usual, the desk staff was great and the concierge was friendly and helpful. Speaking of the concierge, I had a rezzy at a very popular restaurant that I needed to move at the last minute. The concierge called on my behalf and rapped with the restaurant host in French and said something about calling from the W and we were able to move the reservation - something I know I would not be able to do on my own.
We stayed in a Mega room - a good sized room with a queen bed and a massive bathroom, that had a deep soak tub (the wife loved the tub). I like how there is no real wall between the bathroom and the bedroom area, just a curtain. The colors in the room are dark (grey/blue/black), but it is soothing and cave-like - perfect for relaxing and mid-afternoon naps.
The great thing about this place is that there are 3 bars and a restaurant (with a patio) on premises - so there is plenty to do without having to leave the building. Also, it is chic, modern hotel on the border between the financial / shopping area (St Catherine, etc.) and Old Town Montreal - the best of both worlds.
This hotel was great the last time I was here over 2 years ago, and I am happy to report that it is still fantastic.
