Le Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites
Old Montréal was, quite obviously, the first part of the city to be settled, and throughout the twentieth century, as today, the city’s financial and legal giants towered over the district’s old, meandering streets. It would be reasonable to expect a hotel in Old Montréal, esecially one housed in an historic building, to be a conservative or even stuffy affair; thankfully the Hotel Place d’Armes is anything but stuffy.
The experience is state-of-the-art, owing mostly to the sleek contemporary styling and an intimate boutique atmosphere, but the (plentiful) historical touches are key to this hotel’s personality. Original brick walls, period colors and woodwork, and views of the charmingly historical neighborhood stand side-by-side with modern must-haves like Jacuzzis, Frette sheets and the occasional in-room fireplace.
So though the Place d’Armes is in one sense a boutique, it’s pretty far from being Studio 54-on-the-St. Lawrence; discretion seems to have been prized over flashiness. Thus the lack of a deeply trendy discotheque, though most guests won’t miss it. The hotel does feature a restaurant, a salon-style bar, a rooftop terrace, and even a small exercise room, as well as a conference center and a 3,000-square-foot spa — more than most boutiques can boast, to be sure.
How to get there:

I only like the location, it is a really old hotel. Not good interior design, looks old and dirty, staff could be nicer specially on bistro, I honestly was suprised being a recommendation of the Michelin guide. Front desk didn’t explain me I was upgraded until I asked.
Comfortable bed, friendly staff, helpful consierge.
The various lounge areas were comfortable and I felt like I was visiting a friends upscale home! The restaurant was classy and comfortable!
Very convenient location. The front desk staff and valet service was very good. Our room was large and well appointed, spacious and quiet. The decor was muted, and could use an immediate electric update with more charging stations and a more attractive way to hide all the electric cords and cables. And soon an interior update, but it’s fine now. The Tablet Plus amenities included some welcome chocolates, a room upgrade and breakfast for two. The breakfast menu was limited, but fresh and good although the kitchen was slow. Our servers were amazing though. One very nice thing about the hotel is the rooftop terrace and bar/restaurant which is rated tops in Montreal. Also, we walked about 15 miles in two days and a special shout-out to the concierge who delivered bandages to the door for our poor feet.
