murphysmum Posted September 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hello... I'm sure this has been asked before, but the search function has been down much of the week. I'll be going to Montreal for three days before a cruise to Boston and I'd love to find a really charming hotel. I love older hotels with period furniture, near historic parts of town and charm is more important than price. If anyone has a favorite, I'd love to know about it. Thanks so much. murphysmum;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairmont Quenn Elizabeth is a perfect fit Period charm? Wrong hotel. It's a nice hotel, but it's hardly a period charmer, other than their dining room.

murphysmum Posted September 19, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hello... Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I've looked them up and I'm favoring the St. Sulpice, although I haven't obsessively checked every B&B in the Old Town as mentioned. Just FYI...The Fairmont sounded like a good choice, but it's getting very negative evaluations on Trip Advisor if this is a concern for anyone. I appreciate your time and expertise.;) murphysmum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your time and expertise.;) murphysmum Montrealers get very upset when people call it "Old Town". It's always called Old Montreal here. The Quebec government's tourism website has an unbiased list of B&Bs in Old Montreal. (The city's website isn't unbiased, you pay for placement).

Putterdude Posted September 19, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Over the years I have always enjoyed both the Queen Elizabeth and the Chateau Champlain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphysmum Posted September 19, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi... Thanks for taking the time to educate me about Old Town vs. Old Montreal. I won't make the mistake again and you've saved me from annoying people while in Montreal. Best, murphysmum;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicKen Posted September 19, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2008 When are you going? We'll be at Hotel Nelligan Oct 5-7 and I can let you know how it was when we get back. I chose it based on tripadvisor reviews and the location - made my reservations online and they have been extremely nice and prompt in answering any questions.
