Was in Montreal on business (checked out of the intercontinental hotel and was at the airport). Weather in chicago etal forced loads of flights to cancel. Mine was last to cancel so I was stuck with out hotel options. With platinum status with Marriott and Starwood and Fairmont - NO hotels within 40 miles of Montreal. Expedia lead me to this property. It's is a leading hotels of the world affiliate. Newly renovated and opened. So it was kinda off the grid. The only options were this pricey unknown and some sketchy hostels and fleabags. Site unseen I bought a night for 500. I was quite pleased. Cabbie had to look hard for it as it's not YET a well known player but it will be. This place has tons of charm, history and hipster vibes. The original building was a private residence in the 1800s and then a men's social club. The addition preserves the old building and most of the charm and elegant wood work and details. The new portion might not appeal to everyone. Very hipster mod and kind of tiny windows and stark lines. The property yanks you back and forth between the 19th century and the 21st century. If your heart is set on grandiose views and balcony this is not it.
I found the staff helpful and proud of their new gem of a property. Not sure how the hotel and the hip bar scene mix but I will come back to check it out. Since I was there by accident and had to grab a early flight out I can't comment on the food or beverage service. I did use the gym and it was fine. If you are a fan of architecture the work to integrate this space is amazing. I will post photos.
