A few years ago we’d have never believed that Vieux Montréal would be the epicenter of an outbreak of chic and modern boutique hotels, but for whatever reason, that’s what’s come to pass; within the historic district of the walled old city, one finds some of the most inspiring small hotels in North America.
Le Saint-Sulpice is an all-suite property, and those suites are large, beginning at 550 square feet, many with fireplaces, some with terraces facing the central courtyard garden, a rarity in the cobbled Old Town. Down duvets and kitchenettes equipped with Nespresso machines are standard, as are additional sofa beds and leather armchairs. Plush robes and L'Occitane en Provence bath amenities add to the creature comforts, and work desks and high-speed wi-fi internet access ensure a productive stay.
Some stylish hotels try hard to avoid breaking a sweat engaging in anything resembling service, but the Saint-Sulpice staff seems cut from a more old-fashioned cloth; expect to be addressed by name, and don’t be shy about bothering the concierge for a recommendation.
Then again, don’t be surprised if they direct you to the in-house restaurant; Sinclair serves upscale French cuisine from local Quebec ingredients. And you don’t have to dine in every night; the location, behind the Notre-Dame Basilica, and just a block from the Old Port, means that any number of excellent restaurants, shops and galleries are at your feet.
