<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/icon_wmontreal.jpg">We got this email in our inbox about a deep discounted room rate at the <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=1471">W Montreal.</a> But it looks a little "if it sounds to good to be true it probably is" to us, so we'll leave it up to you to tell us if it is the real deal. Icon is allegedly offering a room for $59 at the hotel, compared with the usual $379 room rate. This of course doesn't include taxes and travel must be completed by September 14th. There's no way to book online either. You can send the Icon group an email at icontravel@icon-intl.com or call them at (866) 210-3032.We skipped on over to their website just to see what was shaking

Strategically located between the heart of Old Montreal and the heart of St. Catherine's Street--well, that is, if you call 696 St. Catherine the "heart" like we do. So what is W Montreal all about? First off, the staff is incredibly friendly. This place is stacked with beautiful people dressed in black and donning Bobby Brown style headsets (circa My Prerogative).
