This hotel is rich with history and design. The lobby isn't huge but they have a wonderful reading room. The front desk is staffed with very capable personnel. Whatever you need it's available within minutes.
I needed a reservation at a restaurant and the concierge took care of it within hours.It was a Saturday evening and he still got it done.
My room was a junior suite, not bad but not what I expected in a suite. The bathroom
was great and bath products very high grade. When I return to Montreal I probably won't stay at Le St. James, not because I didn't like it but I'd rather stay in a hipper neighborhood. Something close to the bars and cafes.
