Le Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites
55, St-Jacques Quest, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Hotel Place d’Armes is a new addition to the historic district of Old Montréal, a modern boutique hotel within the renovated nineteenth-century Great Scottish Life Insurance building, and an ideal vantage point from which to witness the resurgence of this once-neglected neighborhood.
Old Montréal was, quite obviously, the first part of the city to be settled, and throughout the twentieth century, as today, the city’s financial and legal giants towered over the district’s old, meandering streets. It would be reasonable to expect a hotel in Old Montréal, esecially one housed in an historic building, to be a conservative or even stuffy affair; thankfully the Hotel Place d’Armes is anything but stuffy.
The experience is state-of-the-art, owing mostly to the sleek contemporary styling and an intimate boutique atmosphere, but the (plentiful) historical touches are key to this hotel’s personality. Original brick walls, period colors and woodwork, and views of the charmingly historical neighborhood stand side-by-side with modern must-haves like Jacuzzis, Frette sheets and the occasional in-room fireplace.
So though the Place d’Armes is in one sense a boutique, it’s pretty far from being Studio 54-on-the-St. Lawrence; discretion seems to have been prized over flashiness. Thus the lack of a deeply trendy discotheque, though most guests won’t miss it. The hotel does feature a restaurant, a salon-style bar, a rooftop terrace, and even a small exercise room, as well as a conference center and a 3,000-square-foot spa — more than most boutiques can boast, to be sure.

What I liked:
A very modern interpretation of "Old English" style. Feels like a gentlemen's club in the guest rooms but as a straight-lined lounge in the lobby.
What the hotel could do better:
The Internet in the room didn't work. Wireless reception in the upper floors is lousy and I needed to go to the lobby to log on. The way to the elevator leads down a very narrow path where having big luggage can be cumbersome.

What I liked:
Convenient location in Vieux Montreal but right next to the Place d'Armes metro stop. We had a huge, comfortable room - definitely more than a good value for the price (plus all the freebies like breakfast, wine and cheese...). The staff was very friendly and helpful.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing; Had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
The hotel was clean and well furnished. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The location was fairly convenient for getting around the city.
What the hotel could do better:
Noise. The amount of noise in our room from the reception hall below our room was unbelievable. Cheering and screaming so loud that we couldn't sleep (even with pillows over our heads) from around 10pm until 2pm. I complained and was given a room upgrade for the next evening, which was appreciated, but the fact that the hotel would put guests in a room with this kind of noise is beyond belief and unprofessional.
