If you want to stay in a boutique hotel and have the Plateau right outside your hotel door, this is pretty much the only place to stay.<p> Walking up Ste-Laurent will take you first through Plateau Mont Royal's party district, full of trendy bars and restaurants, and then through a quiet area of beautiful parks and plenty of residential architecture. Staying on the edge of the Platueau is an obvious alternative to staying downtown, off Ste Catherine street, or staying in the middle of Old Town Montreal.

The property sits on one of the trendiest corners of Montreal at St. Laurent and Sherbrooke, right next to Le Plateau, and with rooms starting at $200 Canadian it definitely gives W, Hotel Gault and the other hip hotels in Montreal some competition.<p> According to Cool Hunting the highlights are the gym, the service and the hotels overall gorgeousness:<p> <blockquote><p> The lobby, with its clean lines and long runway-like hall, leads to one of the better in-hotel gyms I've ever seen.
