| - I am a big fan of Starwood hotels and have decided I want to work for this company someday (for the discounted room rates of course, natch) and now am a HUGE fan of the W hotels after staying here. I was with a friend who was a platinum card holder and they treat you like absolute royalty, it was awesome. We stayed in the fantastic suite and the absolute coolest part about it was that you get a complimentary iphone during your stay. The iphone is meant to double as your concierge and provides restaurant recommendations, club recommendations, etc. We had some problems with lost luggage, and Patrick the "real" concierge was so awesome, he was more worried about it than we were and would text us on the iphone with updates while we explored Montreal.
David H. is right on about the comparison to the Clift or the Mondrian, it also reminded me of the Hudson in NYC. I TOTALLY agree with Karman, the whole staff is gorgeous. Then again, most everyone we met in Montreal was good looking. The W staff, however, was also extremely nice. Beyond nice. I wanted to bring them home with me. Especially Alexander the valet dude. Pitter patter....phew....
Apparently, fyi, the alcohol police are pretty strict in Canada, and you are not allowed to drink outside the walls of their bars/lounges. I did not know this, and we found this out after taking a bottle of wine and downing it in the upstairs lounge area. They were super cool about it, however, so just watch where you take your alcohol. I LOVE, love this W.
