| - My recent business trip to Montreal was a treat as I was booked in a quaint boutique hotel, St. Paul in old town. If you do not care for Minimalism - then stop reading now.
This hotel is done in mainly grey, white and black with dark rich wood tones. There is a striking splash of red however, like the 9 ft tall silk rose blossom topiary in the main lobby. The front door was huge, heavy and the suction of the heat inside competing with the frigid air outside drew you in quickly. The staff is quite generous in their attention to your queries, however their answers are matter of fact. For example - I asked where to locate the breakfast lounge and the answer was 2nd floor...no extras like where to go on the 2nd floor. The concierge service is quick to respond with questions prior to your visit, so use the service for restaurant and attractions info as well as assistance with any transportation needs.
The room was bright, when you figured out you had to put a key card in the system mounted on the wall to make the electricity work! Well appointed in my opinion as the sheets were silky smooth and the coverlet had a faux fur throw with a sateen lining which was a nice touchy-feely addition to the matching bed width bolster. The pillows were down, but not too soft and not too hard (nod to Goldilocks).
The bathroom was monochromatic themed gray tile all over with the exception of the soapstone sink. The faucets were wall mounted and gave a great new age feel to time spent brushing your teeth. There were two robes hung on hangers, on the widest wall in the bath and the arms were so sweetly intertwined. (yes, a huge awwww came out of my mouth when I saw it!)
My final day was met with the challenge of an incoming winter snow storm and I arranged for a 6 am wake up which happened right on time. The desk clerk had pre-arranged a taxi for me at a preset time so I would have zero wait when I was ready. Here is something I've never experienced in a hotel's attention to their patrons (US, Europe, Australia included)...the morning desk clerk called me 20 min after my initial automated call to ensure I was up and about and to give me an update on the weather! Bravo Hotel St-Paul!!
I anticipate a return to Montreal and hope that I am able to stay at this location again.
I indicated moderate on the price based on comparisons to other hotels I've stayed in.
