My friend and I needed a weekend getaway, so I booked us two nights at the Place D'armes. Bottom line: I have never had a hotel stay this great in my life.
The hotel is beautifully decorated in a modern contemporary style that appreciates the grandeur of the three historic buildings that the hotel occupies. Our bedroom had an exposed brick wall, great furniture, and a huge bathroom. The wonderful toiletries were all from Rain Spa, the spa that is located at the hotel. The hotel provides a free wine and cheese reception at 5pm each evening, and an amazing continental breakfast each morning. There is also a terrace with a bar on the 8th floor that provides an amazing view of the Basilique Notre-Dame.
I have to provide a special shout out to Rene the concierge. Rene was our "in" with area restaurants, and his recommendations did not fail. Also, I couldn't think of the words "bucket of ice" (seriously--I needed this vacation!) and he knew exactly what I wanted from my stammering "that thing that...yeah...I want...it's like..." and crazy hand movements. Rene: concierge extraordinaire (or, world's best charades player).
Parking was valet and attentive. Staff was there to carry my bag, open the door, and help as needed.
