Crescent Street, Saint-Catherine Street and the Museum of Fine Arts are all a short walk away, and Peel metro station about five minutes. Holt Renfrew Ogilvy connects straight to the hotel’s third-floor lobby.
The design is the most striking we’ve seen in a Canadian hotel: white marble, pink velvet and brass, and an atrium of gilded floral sculptures falling from the 18th-floor skylight.
Our Premier Two Queen Room had herringbone floors, marble, a wet bar and a deep, round freestanding bathtub. The windows looked over Crescent Street to the Leonard Cohen mural.
Marcus, on the third floor, has a summer terrace and a hidden lounge behind the bar, and we’d go back for the uni toast. The Guerlain Spa, an indoor pool and a well-equipped gym complete the hotel.
