Oh, Montréal, ever the cultured temptress: Culture hounds forgoing their Parisian jaunts this summer can get their French art fix in our northernly neighbor. To help them out, Loews Hôtel Vogue is offering a package called “Culture and Nature à la Montréal Style,” which helps guests “experience the beauty of Montreal both indoors and outside.”

In other words, that means overnight lodgings, two museum passes to the renowned Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and an oh-so-French picnic lunch for two packed in a keepsake backpack. (Think sandwiches, baguette with local cheeses, mixed salad, pita chips, fresh fruit, cookies, and bottle water.)

Plus: lots of cheap hostels! <p>Now that you're a bit older and your priorities have changed, it's time to hit up Canada's cultural capital again &#151; and this time around, you can afford to (and you probably want to) stay in a real hotel while you get the most out of what the city has to offer.

But they are pretty much all alike.</i><p>It's "cleverly designed." The lobby is "a hoot." Rooms are "subdued." We'll give you one guess where <a href="http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/travel/17checkin.html?ref=travel"><i>The New York Times</i></a> stayed recently...<a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/aloft%20hotels"><b>Aloft!</b></a> <p> Specifically, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Aloft+Montreal+Airport/local/1241"><b>Aloft Montreal Airport</b></a>. The review is more about the brand than the property itself, and it's spot on about the elements of Aloft that do and do not work. For instance, the hotel earns points for having guest rooms with a "refreshing lack of clutter," but loses out with "corporate chirpiness" like when desk clerks say "Aloha" instead of hello. <p> (We don't quite get all that aloha business either.
